From Trash To Treasure!

As I mentioned in my last podcast, I found an old weathered quilt rack at a yard sale last weekend for $2.00!!! My husband helped me take it apart and then I sanded it and painted it and now I have a beautiful quilt rack! Here is the photo...the little blue and pink quilt was the first one I ever made with my grandmother when I was around 8 years old. I do wish I had a before and after photo but truthfully, the before photo wouldn't have been very pretty to look at!

Episode #4 Available

The 4th episode of Quilt Cabana Corner is up on Podbean and will be on Itunes shortly! It is a fun episode with some interesting new finds and a review of two books. The first is The Quilting Answer Book and the second is Accidental Landscapes!

Sunny Tuesday & Good News

It's been a busy week here with 4 cases of strep throat in the family (my 3 daughters plus myself)! However, good news came in the middle of all of that...one of my wallhangings is going in McCall's Quick Quilts magazine in July 2011 (guess they really plan ahead over there)! I'm really excited to see the quilt in print as it's a tribute to my grandmother's garden.

This week I'm working on a Hawaiian pineapple pillow that is hand applique'...not something I love doing but I bought the kit in Hawaii and I really want to see it through. I'm also figuring out what my next project will be...either a lighthouse quilt or the Hawaii photo quilt that I bought supplies for at the Maui Quilt Shop!

Have a wonderful day and happy quilting!
