Fabric swap

Hi I'm Cathy and I'm a fabric junkie.
I have been going through my Holiday fabric and have stuff left over from last yr. So I thought anyone want to swap Holiday fabric? I don't have yrds and yrds but looking at my Halloween fabric I have several different ones that I have over used and it's time for new stuff. So if your interested let me know. I was thinking we could swap FQ's as many as you want. You send me 2 and I'll send you 2 something like that. Oh and I LOVE Halloween stuff hint hint.......

I'm pooped

This has been the busiest longest weekend. I haven't been feeling to hot lately, I know boo hoo me, and this has been the first couple of days I haven't felt like you know what. My husband was out on business all week and returned early Friday morning. We drove an hr to my son's UTI graduation(Universal Technical Institute just in case you were thinking urinary track infection). We stayed the rest of the day at my mom's which is always good for my blood pressure, NOT. We got home late only to get ready for a party the next day for to boy's graduation. My parents and a bunch of 20 something yr old kids came over on Sat to eat and swim and make a mess. Then today the 4 yr old had a party for her twin friends. I am pooped.
This is the kitty quilt for the yr old
gifts for the twins

Baby Kristi

We finally went to go see my one and only niece. My sister-in-law (who I now think is the greatest) made sure the new little peanut had on my favorite baby gift.

Ha ha ha ha

Ok so I have to admit I laughed out loud when I saw I had to comments on my last post. If my two poster are reading this you may just get a quilt :) I have enough fabric to give a quilt to most of this City. Oh maybe I should make a quilt to cover the city when it's cold (boy I crack myself up). I will say that my 2 posters did give me a great idea for the up coming Holidays, I see a Holiday blog give away in the future.
I did manage to finish the top to Caitlyn's kitty quilt. Now my big debate is whether to back it with this really really soft kitty fleece I bought LAST yr or a cotton back. So the next blankets / quilts are star wars theme. I'm mulling over the idea of make them out of fleece so the will be cuddly, maybe a quillow. My problem is I love the look of a true cotton quilt but when your making them for kids under 6 do you go with what you like or the soft warm stuff........

Talking to myself

Let see if anyone reads my blog :)

I am in the process of trying to destash my stash. I have a fabric addiction that brings the word addiction to whole new level. So now that I have dabbled in the quilting world everyone will most likely getting some sort of blanket for the holidays. This surely will lessen my mounds of fabric.


This is my latest blankie. Again not for anyone I know.....
