I Heart Cathedral Windows




All you non-quilters (that is typed with all kinds of snobbiness), are so confused right now. The quilt block with which these pillows are constructed is called Cathedral Window and it is my all time favorite block. I love the look of the folded fabric. I've got really big plans for it in the future, but this Christmas, I had to stick with simple and quick projects. Hence, lots of single block pillows for grandmas and sisters-in-laws. I made my mom and Jon's mom table runners with the same block, but don't have pictures of those. Here's a close up of the block.

Sew Spot



This was once a pretty pitiful looking old sewing table that my aunt found in the garage of her lake house. You'll have to take my word for it regarding its previous condition, because I forgot to get a before shot. My dad worked his carpentry magic on it. (I helped a little). And now, it is a beautiful piece that fits perfectly in my tiny hall and provides a place for me to display and store a bit of my quilting.

I have indeed been doing more quilting... well, I did before Christmas. I'll share the results with you soon.
