September is National Sewing Month and I MUST sew. :-) It's important that I do my part - are you doing yours?
Today I spent the entire day in my sewing room - practically from sun up till sundown. I'm very blessed with a husband who says "you must sew". He had leftovers for lunch and hot dogs for dinner. This man is very low maintenance - a definite keeper. LOL
I was ready to get busy with my Vintage Modern pieces/parts (remember I've already made two quilts - Picnic and Boardwalk - out of the fat quarter bundle I have). I needed the green w/white dots so a friend put a chunk in the mail yesterday afternoon and I got it today. WooHoo!
I started measuring, cutting, sewing, etc and by sundown I had the guts of my Vintage Holiday quilt. I'll order the border fabric early next week and it'll be an official flimsy very, very soon. I decided I needed to add corner stones - Mr Daze says this makes it mine. :-)
Vintage Holiday by http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/(Vintage Modern fabric by Bonnie & Camille for Moda)This week has been all about BIG Christmas packages and BIG Christmas ornaments. :-)
I've managed to keep my Happy Place very tidy however tomorrow I have to do a little dusting and vacuuming, much to Cooper's chagrin.
Thank you so much for popping in to visit - please enjoy a pieceful day.
In Friendship!

I love that, it really does remind me of the old type of baubles we all used to hang on our trees years ago.
I love the Vintage Modern quilts you have been making, how productive are you! It's amazing how Christmassy this line looks :) And this quilt is gorgeous!

Such a pretty ornament quilt! I am glad you got some quality sewing time in!
It's adorable and I just know how happy you are sewing! Yeah for sewing month and being in the groove to sew simultaneously!
I LOVE it...it's a very happy quilt. It does remind me of those old shiny ornaments. Dusting and vacuuming...I really need to do that...hmmm...maybe the elves will take care of that...LOL!
It's beginning to look like Christmas, sung in my most Chritmasy voice. Super cute quilt the colors are wonderful
I'm new to your blog and I love it! I have a huge passion for quilts and after 49 years of sewing, I find I need to make them. Maybe, too, it's the long history in the family of sewing and quilting. Anyway, thank you for sharing your posts and all they entail!
Lovely quilt!
I love it Darlene! I love the pattern and your fabric choices.
Love your quilt top, it looks like a box of ornaments ready for the tree decking party.
