I sandwiched these four quilts plus the one above. I had fixed the borders on two of the them the day before.
Then I wanted to play with Marjorie's embroidery design for the snowflake from the Accuquilt Go Medley die. Oh my gosh....those pink scissors just couldn't resist being in this picture....What a fun embroidery design, I did find that I had to be so precise in getting the arms in just the right spots or my embroidery would not cover then...second time was a charm. I had a friend come over and we blanket stitched around some of these snowflakes for two pillows she was making. I just had to show her how the embroidery machine worked. This was Thursday, don't want you all to think I did all of this in one day.
Now I am kicking myself....yes....I have a boot on the caboose. BAd Barb...Bad Barb.
When my husband and I were at JoAnn's last Saturday the batting was half off but I resisted. I got in the car and told my husband and he said we could turn around. I said, no.....(with a whine)...now I am regretting it. After sandwiching these five quilts, one medium sized....I need more batting.....Oh....that boot sure hurts!!
THE WINNER OF THE VALENTINES RUNNER IS:::::::
JULIE FROM "HAVING FUN QUILTING"
I didn't know this until I went to check her blog but she just recently made a few quilts with Hawaiian fabrics....and I say OHHHHH La La to that one.
She has one follower, and that is me, so if you have a chance, go check her out!!
Stay tuned....next week (hopefully) I will present a new round topper and will be giving 3 patterns away. So you say, but Barb, why round??? I say, round because I have a round table, and it is mostly for me and we all know that the universe revolves around me....HA!!! (I know, I am kidding myself).

You have been busy! The tumbler quilt turned out so cute. I can't imagine sandwiching 4 quilts at one time.
Beautiful fabrics. You are so funny, Barb.
Happy Valentine's ~

Hey I did hear it revoles around you and if it does not it should!! Funny I just took out the same snowflake die today and thought how in the world am I going to stitch around the whole thing. Hey what is your address!!! Have a super weekend!
Thank you so much for allowing me to win the darling Valentine's Day table runner!!! And the sweet things you said about my blog . . . I wish I could give you a hug! :o) I'm just a newcomer to your blog, but I'm lovin' what I've seen so far!!! THANK YOU, AGAIN!!! You totally made my day!!! :o) (I've gotta hurry and go work on my blog now just in case anyone else comes to check it out!) Hugs!!! :o)
That is a cute quilt you finished there. I wish I was as speedy as you getting things done! I hate those boot in the bootie moments! I have those once in a while, too. :( I'm off to go and check out Julie's blog. :o)
Oh my, you have been busy!! I couldn't get that much done in a month! :-) Your quilt is gorgeous!
You have got to be the most creative and productive quilter I know.
You certainly have been busy creating. Love all these projects.
Isn't it funny that at sometimes we can feel we have so much batting taking up space and other times we are desperate for more batting, and it isn't on sale. Have you checked out the batting at Michaels with their coupons? Makes for a good deal.

Cute tumbler quilt. You need a bolt of batting. Seriously.
The tumbler quilt is so sweet. You make me wanna get a cutter because I am way, way too lazy to use templates!
Wow, you sure have been busy this week! Good job...cute quilt...very pretty.
Wow u have been busy!! Congratulations to Julie!!
I love the colors in the tumbler quilt. And I feel your pain on the batting--our Joanns RAN OUT! Anyway, I am certain I have a year's supply of fabric, but I would be out of batting fast.
Amazing amount of projects making progress, go get that batting! LOL
Love that little tumbler quilt, it is indeed GOOD!
Congrats to Julie...I am now following her blog too.
Congrats Julie!!!
I'm loving your tumbler quilt!!!! Is the batting still on sale at Joanns? You could use one of those free shipping coupons and order online =D
check to see if the batting is on sale sometimes you even get free shipping. I got a code one time from the site called
bradsdeals.com
I buy it when it is on sale all the time and i have always gotten free shipping.
good luck.
Congratulations to Julie...I'm off to see her blog. Oh! Before I go...that quiltie at the top is definitely GOOD, so I agree with you! Love your snowflakes, too. :)
Barb, did you know Joanns takes Hobbylobby and Michaels coupons? You can just print them out on your comp. Or if you have internet on your phone, you can just pull them up on your cell without having to print them and they will accept them! At leat the Joanns in my town will. No need to wait for a sale!!! Now go get some more batting!! And I love the tumbler quilt with those delicious sherbert colors!
Girl you have been busy, busy, busy....Impressive!
Congrats to Julie....I know she has to be thrilled she won.
Smiles,
Kelly
Congrats Julie!
Congrats Julie!!
Barb ~ I had dto laugh at the conversation you had with hubby. I've had that very same one a million times before and it was just like yours where I said, no, also in that almost whiney voice. LOL
I will be watching for the round table toppers because my son and his fiancee have a huge round dining table that needs one.
I loves your tumbler quilt!!
Love your little tumbler quilt.......now GO buy your batting!
love that yellow chicken dinner quilt - you are a riot! I so enjoy your posts:)
