Today I had a bit of time to play with fabric.
I spent it:
Washing fabric...not to be confused with doing laundry.
Piecing fabric... because I really want to finish this quilt.
Cutting fabric... because my boy asked. And because he also picked out the fabrics.
It was the perfect way to spend several hours. And speaking of a nice way to spend several hours, last night my husband and I watched the film Transsiberian (2008). Lots of mystery, suspense, drama, great acting - just thought I'd let you know if you're looking for something to add to your netflix queue for when the Olympics are done.
That is a good movie :)
That quilt is amazing! That's alot of cutting and sewing, but will be so worth it in the end :)

Looks like you had fun! I won't be able to get to the quilt show after all, as I can't take off work this week and we're headed to daughter #2 this weekend. Let me know if you go!

you are so right...washing fabric is not the same as doing laundry! Your washer is so colorful filled with all that goodness. Can't wait to see your Leslie quilt all put together! I just love that your boy has put in a request for more of mama's quilted goodness...that is so wonderful. Enjoy your week and your fabrics!

Can't wait to see your completed quilt. I love all the fabric loveliness in your washing machine. Definitely not the same as doing laundry. Such a fun way to spend time.

I can't wait to see your finished quilt! And I do get so excited about washing new fabrics--I even iron them, so no, it's definitely a different animal from laundry. (Laundry can be wrinkled!)
Looks like you had a good day.

How do you make a picture of laundry (okay -- fabric in a washer) look so good? I'm impressed. As always. Happy quilting.

Tis the year for projects.

What a lovely way to spend some time. We're home because of a snow storm but for the life of me I can't recall doing anything productive ;o)

That is quite a quilt. It will be beautiful when you're done.
I have seen Transsiberian; it left me thinking.

I'm jealous. I'm not doing fun laundry but the regular stinky kind right now.
