Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Blitzen Christmas line is here!

I just received my first Christmas fabric for 2012.  It’s called Blitzen by Basic Grey.  I just love it!  It has some red, white, mint green, pear green, aqua and of course grey.  I have a fat quarter pack and a couple of bolts of coordinated for borders and backs.

There are 40 fat quarters in the bundle and I think I can get 4 lap quilts from it.  Wednesday is my volunteer day so there’s not a lot of time for sewing, but maybe I can do a little cutting.  I’ve divided the fabric up into four piles, each with a pattern so the planning is complete.  Once I get going it shouldn’t take too long to get it all cut up.  Tomorrow is a free day so I could sew, sew, sew!! 

Here’s my cutting plan.

I shouldn’t really say it’s a free day because I have a huge project in the works.  This week is our monthly overflow garbage week and I always like to take advantage of that.  This month I am cleaning out the closet in our bedroom.  I’m pretty sure that hasn’t been done since we moved here almost 18 years ago!  What treasures I am finding in there.  I’ve gone through tons of clothes, shoes and purses and have gotten rid of lots of stuff.  I pretty much took everything out of the closet and did a thorough dusting and vacuuming.  It looks so nice now, but I have a lot of stuff to put back in.  I’m planning a trip to Target this afternoon to get some storage bins to contain some of it.  Hopefully I can finish this project today and spend tomorrow sewing guilt free!
