Pile O Fabric Skill Builder Block of the Month

I am participating in my very first BOM!  Its so much stinkin' fun!  How come I haven't done this earlier?!?  Anyways.. Here are the first two blocks!  We are learning how to free motion quilt them later in the month.  If you want to join this fun BOM and learn how to create come cute modern blocks... join us! 

Here are my fabrics...

This is the "SOUND WAVE" block...

And, this is "MAGNUM!"

Mug Rug

Loved these little scraps, wanted to practice my free motion quilting and needed a place to put my tea while I sewed without it leaving condensation all over the place.... Loving this lil mug rug!!!



Lil' Chunk of Heaven

Just wanted to show you all my cute little sewing space....My husband made this 6ft long table, fit for my machine!  It is so wonderful to have a long table!  :)

Amish Church Pew.... Upcycled!

I bought two of these "gems" locally for only $40 for both!  My Dad helped me pick them up and was a little concerned wondering what in the world I saw in these two benches!  LOL!


According to the woman I purchased them from, she purchased them from an antique store in Cambria, California and was told that they were Amish church pews from the late 1800s.  She kept them in their original condition (they were painted white before she bought them) for 15 years and decided it was finally time to let them go.
You have no idea how excited I was to find these!
