The Faust Groupies

We fabric addicts struck gold at Faust Thursday..10 women searching for the best...

So exhausted and ready for lunch...what better way to spend a day.
 Treasure hunting at $2.50 a pound.
Faust is a wholesale fabric store in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

Look at some of the loot that came from that pile...ha ha..so much fun.
Also got Insul-Brite and 505 spray basting for 50% off...

Need has nothing to do with desire....Unfortunately money does!!!!
The Juki......hmmmm
Juki review by Crafty Gemini

Evan is such a dear...at 10 years old we can hang out together.
 Last night we watched the coverage of Hurricane Andrew from 1992.
  Mr.O'Quilts and our family lived through the storm, lying in the hallway, covered with a mattress.
Our house was 5 minutes from the National Hurricane Center where this video came from..
Lucky us survived with only broken windows and missing trees.
Emily was sorting through the VHS tapes when we came upon this one..

The three of them are growing up....I love them so.

Pumpkin misses my dear man too...We have decided to sew together!!!
Himself would have been pleased.

Bedtime quilting..and, ...

Time for bed, but I am sewing...Zoey hangs with Mr. O'Quilts...she has the illusion of comfort and control.

 Zoey steps outside to use the grass facilities.  Within minutes, Milito asserts his control..ha!

 In the other room I am sewing.  On the design wall are the blocks from Guild.  I made one set for Guild and one set for me..I love to machine applique.  I love to do different things with quilting.  Just the blocks are made and appliqued.  I am trying out the lattice for color.  I think I had better do more in the morning instead of tonight. Just sharing:)

Sit and Sew

Had a wonderful sit and sew at my house today.  When we finished laughing and sewing...some sad old someone told me he had been neglected!

A clean quilt, a box and guess who??

    

My Milito!!!!

Cheer me up Pumpkin...before I go to bed!!!

Pumpkin, Thank you for all your support and understanding!

My solids of forever

I have been collecting fabric all my life, since I was 13. My sister has too, but she is better able to de-clutter. So, she gave me her solids to donate to the Guild, but instead, I donated them to myself. I have had these solid fabrics for 25 years, untouched, having collected them from Mae's Discount Fabrics' Wearhouse in Miami. I have had Pumpkin for 13 years so she knows:) She is so proud of me for starting some quilts using solids. She is sitting on quilt number 3. The others are basted and when they are quilted, I will share them with you. Diane
