Oh No, More Yo-yo's!

I just finished 40 more yo-yo's for my yo-yo quilt along. Thanks to Penny at sewtakeahike for hosting a QAL. I couldn't believe it when I found out other people love these odd little circles too! And enough to do a quilt along. I'm sure you can join in if you feel so inclined to give it a try, or add to the bag you already started years ago. You have until October to get them all done.Yo-yo's are great fabric therapy as long as you don't stress over how many you make.

I started sewing my Kaleidoscope squares together but the old "now I know what it's going to look like it's time to start the next project" syndrome set in. 
I can't believe some people are doing 6 quilt along projects at one time! I thought 2 was plenty for now.

Sparky is sitting in one of the cubbies that was empty when I moved into my new sewing rooms. Of course he has to be right in the middle of everything when I am cutting or sewing. I was making yo-yo's earlier and I use a TV table for my fabric and supplies while making them. He jumps on the table and proceeds to lay down knocking over whatever he has to in order to fit. He's a small cat but not that small! Meow.

Enjoy your holiday weekend. Until next time, happy sewing.

Confessions of A Quilter

I know I just posted about my first quilt-along but that is not exactly true. Now it is true that I haven't participated in a quilt along before but I signed up for one but had to work so hard at getting the button to work I forgot to post about it. (The problem was Me!) Warm Cool quilt along is hosted by Jeni at In Color Order . A stash buster that's really fun. Jeni has a wonderful way of simplifying the color wheel and making the gathering of fabrics seem so easy. I have a big stash of fabric to use up so these quilts will help trim it down a bit. I might have a hard time coming up with the light fabrics but that's what quilting stores are for!

I'm going to have to make room in my cubbies for my quilt-alongs to keep them separate. Fabric therapy here I come!
