Pointless Quilter

Now that the boutique is over I can spend some time catching up on some of my Block of the Months and sew-a-longs. Here are the Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery Blocks fro September and October.  (Library and Post Office) And also from Fat Quarter Shop the September and October Snapshot blocks. And the Shabby Fabrics Pillow of the Monthly Club for October. And some  blocks from the Farm Girl Vintage Sew A Long.  I've finished the top and plan on pinning it this weekend. I'm going on a friendship group retreat in a couple weeks and I plan to machine quilt the whole time.  I will have 4 quilt tops and 2 table runners to quilt and bind. Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville announced her colors for this years' mystery quilt called Allietare this year - it will have the colors of Italy, a place she visited this past year.  She is always inspired by her travels.  I think I'll start pulling colors tonight. Thanks for looking.

September is my month that I set aside to make boutique items for our local guilds annual fund raiser, a holiday boutique.  I feel its my responsibility to keep our guild alive (I love great speakers and workshops and our guild is good at that).  Our guild helps our community and learn.  So I try to make as much stuff as I can.  Here are a few more items. I've made Christmas and Halloween little gift bags, and thought people would give little gifts at Valentines too. More cord cozies.  Won these 5" squares at one of the guilds little quilt drawing.  Thought I'd put them to use for the boutique.   It's a small baby quilt. What little kid wouldn't want an Olaf (of Frozen) quilt? And for the boys, a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle quilt. An adult size lap quilt for Halloween. Some fun Minkee baby hats. I got all my consignment quilts ready to go tonight.  I'm putting a lot of them out to sell.  If one sells...
