Well, it's finally done and on the wall. My Jelly Roll Race Gone Plaid... and, I love it!! I finished it 3/31/17 and I'm just a bit surprised it took me so long to complete since I started working on it mid-January. I know I haven't had much time in the sewing room, but mid-January? :))
Actually in my own defense, I've been very busy working out in our yard. Last March I tore out the backyard borders, covered them in newspaper layers, and topped them with bark. In the meantime, I've been pulling any weeds that managed to grow through and finally decided it was time to start planting. We had to rent an auger since there are so many roots from the trees planted behind our property that's it's impossible to dig through. The Auger worked well and it was fun to get a great many holes dug in one afternoon. The majority have been filled with plants which are doing well and there's just one 20 ft area where I'll need professional help since I want to plant another three good-sized palm trees.
My herb garden is doing extremely well. I'll be using a lot of it fresh, and drying quite a bit for my own use, but I have so much I would like to share. If you are in my neck of the woods and would like some fresh herbs, give me a holler via email.
I've also finished the knitting project I have been working on for five months so now I'll have to think of another project to keep me busy in the evenings in front of the tv.
I've still got these blocks to sell... if you think the price I'm asking is too high, please make me an offer! :)
Take care,

Raising $$ for charities...
I've decided I would like to sell these Dresden Plate quilt blocks that I made in
a Kathy Doughty class since I'm trying to raise some $$ for a few of my
favorite charities. Although they are technically "plates" and not blocks, I'm referring to them as blocks. I've played and played with them and cannot figure
out where to go from here. Hopefully someone out there will love them
and have a great use for them.
Ok... here's the scoop. There are 13 blocks in total. To finish each block the two halves need to be sewn together. The photo shows just 1/2 of each block so you can see the diversity. The yellow and blue block on the far left is the smallest of the group measuring 16" across. The yellow and green block in the far upper left is 18" across and the REST of the blocks are 20" across. I didn't realize that I had made two of the blocks smaller until I got them out for this photo. Oh... the second half of the red/pink block on the bottom far left is not sewn together but all the pieces will be included. Easy to sew together... will take five minutes! :)
Anyway, I'm asking $80 for all 13 blocks, which includes shipping. Just send me an email at imquilternity at yahoo dot com if you have questions are are interested! It will ALL go to Feeding America!
If you think my price is too high, please make me a reasonable offer!!

Kaffe Quilt "Kits"... for sale!
I "kitted" fabrics for two of Kaffe Fassett's quilts and sold them in my online quilt shop in 2010, just after the book (in which the patterns can be found) was published. They sold like "hotcakes".
Every time I created a bundle, FQ pack, or design roll to sell, I kept one for myself. And now the time has come to do a little de-stashing. Are you ready?
Autumn Log Cabin Quilt...
and here's the kit...
The second quilt is... Pastel Flower Power
and the kit...
They are both in the shop!
The quilt patterns for both are from this book...
