Ohio is beautiful, but I miss my sewing machine!

I'm in Ohio for 2 weeks and my sewing machine is home in Wisconsin. I have been working on some angel blocks for an internet swap and have to hand stitch them. I will post pictures as soon as I have finished the blocks.

Below are some really neat internet sites that I like to use. Sindy is the lady that is hosting the angel swap.

If you like to applique you should check out http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/ (one of my favorite sites.) Sindy has some wonderful designs and is very gracious in giving them away!

I have a very large stash on fabric as many others do also. I belong to Stash Busters (a yahoo group) that also hosts a web site (http://www.stashbuster.com/). Come along and have some fun while shopping you stash before visiting your local quilt shop.

If you are like me and have a rather large collection of scraps please check out Bonnie's site at http://quiltville.com/index.html. Bonnie has some great ideas on stash busting and usinge all of the bits and pieces left over from quilt making. She has a great 'scrap using' storage system and many quilt patterns that she gives away.
