Round and Round We Go..

Welcome......

 

 if you're new to my blog!!

Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is holding a Blogathon of Canadian Quilters!!

 

Heather from Love,Peace,Quilt is hosting for Saskatchewan Quilters

 

Be sure to sneak over there and check out some of our province's amazing quilters!!

 

I hope you ENJOY!!

 

This project was off to a shaky start as many of you already know

 

I should refer to it as the Million Dollar Quilt!!

 

(To read about that..... click HERE)

 

 

But as I complete each month....

 

 

I am loving it more and more....

 

 

It is amazing to see a quilt come to life.....

 

 

one bite at a time.....

 

 

I am at the half way mark...

 

Month 6 - Applique

 

I have not mastered needle turn...

 

Not sure I ever will be able to!!

 

So I am going with fusible....

 

Soft Fuse is a product I purchased at Houston Quilt Festival

 

Much like Misty Fuse but with backing

 

It's really nice and light!

 

This is the first of 3 series of corners...

 

I think Dawson likes what she sees....

 

 

This quilt will come with quite a story by the time it's done!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Sedona Star

I have been in love with the Sedona Star Quilt since the Minot Quilt Show in March

 

 

I have hymned and hawed for months about purchasing this pattern.

 

This pattern is by Sarah Vedeler

and

only avaliable as a PDF at a cost of 60$

 

I have guilt selling my pattern at 10$ and that is a printed version!!

 

I finally bit the bullet

 

(good thing we have gun laws in Canada...keep reading...)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took my download to Staples to save some money on printing....

 

I NEVER realized there was HUNDREDS of pages!!!!

 

I had sticker shock when the girl said it would be 350$!!!

 

All I could say was NO..NO...NO...NO...NO....

 

I can't have a quilt pattern worth that kind of money...my husband is going to shoot me!!

 

This is just the pattern...the templates are this thick too!!

 

After some serious negotiating, I settled with Staples for a fraction of that.

(Thank you, Staples)

 

I take full responsibility as I didn't go through it page by page.

 

I knew it was a 12 month block quilt.

 

 

NEEEVERR dreamed it was 300 pages with a dab of color on every page!!

 

 

PDF Pattern...60$

 

Printing at Staples.....50$

 

25 YARDS of Fabric.....300$

 

Batting and Quilting.....200$

 

Mental strain....Priceless

 

 

I will be lucky if my husband does apply for a gun licence!!!

 

I may need to go into hiding..

 

anyone know a warm cave with good lighting??
