Finished another UFO!

I've been busy sewing. I did a swap a few years ago with 12.5" blocks using Calico fabrics. I found the blocks and decided to put together. Nine of the blocks were from the swap; the rest were blocks I made. I added a couple of borders; the top measures 59" by 72". In a day or two, I'll be listing it somewhere.....

Finished a UFO!

Has everyone been having as busy a summer as I have? I've had a revolving "grandmother" door, lol. I love them, but it's nice when I can have some quiet time too. Since the girls are older, I have been able to sew even when they are around. This week I found ten blue rail fence blocks I believe I won in a block lotto. I made six more and added some borders. It's for sale now as a quilt top. Isn't it pretty?

Vintage Fabrics For Sale

Good Morning! Isn't the month of June flying by? We've had a lot of family activities going on. Our oldest DGS graduated from high school; DH & I attended his graduation and Open House. Four of the DGKs who live in area have been spending a lot of time here. We have video games and TV on in most rooms of the house. It's noisy, but it's so nice to have them here.
I'm still working on my detash of vintage fabris. I had slowed down as I'm also selling newer fabrics, but it's time to get back to this.
Here are two photos of some lots I put together. I have some fabrics liated in my salling blog, bur you can always conract me. I am also putting together mystery boxes for eBay listings.

Square sets, fat quarter bundles, etc.

Hello! Here in southeast Texas, it's summer already. Where did spring go? My friend said next week will reach 101; the hottest for that day since 1911. Of course, it doesn't bother me too much as I stay inside mostly. And I travel in my air conditioned car, lol.
I've been busy cutting out squares and fat quarters to sell. I've listed some on eBay and have sold some in a quilting group I'm in. The most popular size seems to be 2" squares and 5" squares. If you are interested in any size or theme, just let me know. Here is a photos of some I've cut out. Oh, they are rotary cut by me in my smoke free and pet free home.
