Something new and possibly just as fun!

My husband and I have been talking about printing t-shirts for a long time.  He's been in the process of pricing different screen printing equipment so we can get started with that, but in the mean time we've started playing with Freezer Paper Stencil and different kinds of inks.  Even though we've only been at it a couple days I think I could already be addicted!  Here's some pics!

Kitty Quilt so far

Here is the quilt with one border.  I'm going to add one more.

Fall is upon us :)

I love fall, I love the smell in the air, I especially love the foliage that we are blessed enough to see here in the North East.

School has started for my oldest, and that means a bit more time for my projects.  I know this started out as a blog about my journey on the Farmer's Wife quilt, but I have several other things I would like to chat about.  Hope those of you who may read my blog are ok with that!

The FWQ is stalled at the moment because of my current project, a kitty quilt that will be donated to the Mohawk & Hudson River Humane Society.  It's also being entered in Joann Fabric and Craft Stores Craft for A Cause contest. for a chance to win 1 of 5 $1,500 Joann Gift Cards, something I would love to win.  ( It would buy me my dream sewing machine)   The Kitty quilt is made up of nine 4" blocks (stolen from the FWQ and Blockbase), with sashing and corner stones.  Here are some pics of the progress so far...

 

I have all the blocks and sashing sewn together and I have one border on as well, I will post a picture of that when I take one.  I'll also be stitching the names and adoption dates of some cats into the sashing.
