Love seeing all the new fabrics, I would have a hard time picking a favorite.

I started a short vacation yesterday and knocked out 5 quilt backs. That brings the total that need to be quilted to 8. And I have at least that many other projects that need to be worked on. Isn't that what a vacation is for? Monday I will start a mystery quilt project, lol!

Thanks for the quick tut on the jean bucket/basket. This just might have to be on the to do list for this weekend. I have a quilting buddy coming in to sew all day tomorrow... love that.

I'm working on the 1718 coverlet--it's a challenge for me!

I am putting the finishing touches on a quilt that will be gifted at a graduation party on Sunday. I also hope to complete another quilt top this weekend that got pushed aside while I worked on the graduation quilt. Wish me luck!

Sewing gives me time to relax and ponder things.

Pick me! Pick me! I've got 11 grandchildren and am always looking for new goodies to introduce to them! You see..... They love sewing at Grandma's! Lol!

784 triangle squares???? but who's counting, right? Which method did you use? Love your writing, Carrie, and just wish I were there with y'all. It must be fun, fun, fun everyday!

It would be grand to attend the Quilt Market with designers and fabrics and more ideas than I could make in a lifetime!! Weekend will include preparing a quilt project to work on while on short trip and packing.As far as works in progress, there are at least seven that need to be finished!

I totally enjoy your blog. Keeps me inspired. I call myself the lunch time quilter. I work from home and every day I grab a quick bite with the hubby and then sew. I also will get up and sew when frustrated on a work project. it's a great release and I have lots of quilts to show for it. Now back to work!

I am new to quilting and just finished my second quilt as a graduation gift for my niece. The pattern was ambitious for a beginner but it turned out better than I ever imagined. Yay!

I love reading market posts. Would truly love to go and see all the new fabrics in person. Just to be there and feel all the excitement and see all that inspiration. Thanks for the market posts and the lovely giveaway!

I'm working on my first entirely hand-sewn, English paper pieced project now and I can see it will take forever! it is a pattern called La Passacaglia from a QuiltMania book by Willyne Hammerstein.

I'm going to sew as much as possible this weekend--finishing the flimsy of a wedding quilt (lots of blacks with a little "wine" thrown in for a break from all that black) & sandwiching it to begin quilting. I checked IG about every 15 minutes during Quilt Market to see all the new pics!

I've been sewing and quilting since I was a child, thanks to a wonderful Mother and Grandmother.

Great blog. Loved the recycled jeans project. I have a huge plastic tub filled with quilt tops ready to be sandwiched and quilted. I need to work on finishing one this weekend. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.

I love your blog! Of course I would love to go to quilt market, I would feel like Cinderella at the ball! Getting to see and touch all the new fabric, patterns and notions. Ahhhhh. This weekend I will be finishing up two pillow cases for charity, binding my daughters Daysail quilt and cutting the fabric for a sew together bag. Lots to do! Now though it is time to get ready for work. Have a great weekend.

I would love to go to Market to meet the designers, see the new fabrics and what they have made. So much inspiration!

I've been trying to destash a bit lately by sewing some quilts for a local children's hospital. Thankfully, I know an amazing "like-minded/hearted" quilter who is qulting them for me. I have loved "going" to market by proxy, but it means that I will soon have even more fabric that will have to be de-stashed to good causes.

Love the charms and mini charms! I have been making scrappy stars with them, saving them in a basket until I have enough for the big quilt that I have in my head. Have really enjoyed seeing what it's like inside Moda world. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Going to quilt market is like going to the best candy store. i could only dream of it. My gram was a applique quilter, and my mom was a tailor (cloths) type sewer. In 1998 i took up quilting, and now have a wall of fabric in plastic boxes. Love your designs and love your fabric.

I would love to go to market. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. This weekend, I will be getting everything ready to go on a quilt retreat with 31 of my dear quilt guild friends. Life is good!

I love Moda! In my opinion, Moda fabrics are the best on the market. And as for all the Moda designers, they are the best!

I will be working on a couple quilts that Christmas gifts for my family. We celebrate Christmas in July since that is the time that we are all together.

I've had the chance to attend Quilt Market and found it to be overwhelming, exciting, inspiring and Awesome! I'm always trying to use my stash, but always NEED another piece to add to a project! Such a dilemma!

I confess that I have at least 3 garments that are almost complete, 3, no 4, oops I mean 5 quilts that are in progress and fabric for 3 other projects on the bubble. That doesn't include the leaders and enders pile that is started by my machine.

Have been to market when inhad a quilt shop before i retired, there aren't enough words to describe it. Wasvso much fun.

This week end I am working on a table runner and placemats for a shower for my new grand daughter -in-law. Want to get them finished. so I can get gback to the quilt I am doing for their wedding in August. I would be afraid to count how many UFOs I have to do!!!
