Look at the great stuff I found. Going back again after work today! Our 2 favorite vendors are back. Copper mountain and twisted scissor. Yay!
Clever pattern with a different type of apron, hot pad and bag for cookie mix in a bag.
Cute smock/dress pattern for my new little granddaughter with cheery fabric by Pat Sloan.
And some fast and fun Christmas tea towel sets.

What I did this weekend - 9-6-2014
I'm thinking I'll switch between my two blogs for a while. Blogger has such a nice mobile app that it's easy to do a quick post from my phone and indiemade has the blog for my website. You can check it out at INEEDlefabric.com
So this weekend i worked on the wedding quilt for my nephew and new niece and made a couple more shorts for this cute little peapod. Isn't he a great model!
I used the curve it up ruler from sew kind of wonderful and their metro rings patten for the center of the quilt. I've never tried a double wedding ring block and with the ruler it worked out nicely.
For the shorts I'm using the pattern from dana made it. She's got great tutorials and now that I know what I'm doing they're super easy. I even did one pair with pockets. So cute!

What's on the longarm; shhh it's a secret!
A beautiful quilt for a beautiful young woman! This will be my first one with mostly ruler work and I did stitch in the ditch on all the blocks first.
I really like how it's looking. More detail later.

LAQ#25 Still Learning and Quilting Encouragement
This is only the 25th item I ever did on my Longarm, and I wanted to be brave and try some fancier quilting. So I made a quilting plan to do separate designs in the blocks and inner and outer borders.
· You gotta start somewhere or you’re never gonna get better.
· Nobody was born a perfect longarm quilter!
· You WILL get better with practice
- Keep previous quilting samples so you can see your improvement (don't compare your quilting to others)
Ewww, maybe
I shouldn’t show you the back, but I'll share my bobbles; everybody

Longarm Quilt 27 Tomato Basil: A problem and a question.
I love the colors on this and looking back I seem to use orange in a lot of my quilts – who knew?
I did a different quilting design in each wide column and a wavy line in the skinny rows using So Fine thread in Hawk.
