i cleaned my house so i could mess it up again

 I have a friend visiting for the weekend. Boy, oh, boy, are we having FUN!
We have fabric messes that would make Victoria proud.
Fabric is flying.
Backs are being pieced.
We are inspiring the next generation of quilters. (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
There's still lots to do. Namely, basting 5 quilts. (For crying out loud!)
Super cute pincushions in use. (LOVE!)
Including this awesome one from Cindy. (LOVE!!!)
And I can't tell you how fun it is to see projects in real life rather than on screen.

Hope you are having a happy weekend, too!

    Have you ever used 505 Basting Spray to make your quilt sandwiches? I do love that stuff. So easy and doesn't gum up the needle.

  20. This is my constant battle -- clean, make a mess, and repeat! I just can't imagine what would happen if I didn't do the clean part -- it would be an explosion of mess!

  23. Have you guys tried spray basting? I watched a YouTube video on that and went out and bought my own spray can of 505 basting spray! As soon as I get the back pieced, I will try out the whole spray-basting thing (I usually hand baste a la Sharon Schamber).

  26. Duuude... we sure had fun, didn't we?! I was sad to leave but exploded with excitement when I got home. I have so many ideas swirling in my head from all our brainstorming and your fresh ideas. How do you say in your country, "Can't wait to do it again soon!" LOL!
