New Projects on My Mind





I was reading my yahoo group emails today and one from Cyberquilters referred to free patterns from UnitedNotions.  http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/fp   I went there and there were indeed many free patterns.  My eye was attracted to this one, and I think I may have to add it to my list.  I've already added the Barn quilt a long (   https://secure.flickr.com/groups/2183559@N21/    http://www.beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-back-of-my-farmers-wife-quilt.html   ).   


Isn't it adorable, it's the Quilty Barn Along from Bee in My Bonnet.  It's already been going on a few months, but I hope to catch up my other projects and then start one of these two.  I was in my local quilt shop a couple days ago and purchased these fabrics to get started.  



And these, because they were on the half price table and I thought they would be useful.  The one on the left is a Thimbleberries Christmas line fabric, but it doesn't look Christmasy to me, and I think it might make a good border, if not, it'll be fine in many scrappies.   I was thinking of giving up quilting, or at least slowing down considerably, but it seems hard to do when I am constantly seeing new things I want to try.  I guess there are worse problems in this world.

I have some of those stone and brick fabrics that I just keep saving...just in case. Maybe I should check out the quilt along, too.

I found that quilt along too, and would like to have a go once my City and Guilds course is done and dusted. I must check out that website as well.
