Jim goes to a lot of auctions and buys box lots. He may be bidding on only one item in the box, but gets to take it all home if he is the winning bidder. The upstairs overfloweth! So he's been working all week getting ready to have a garage sale today. He had a steady flow of customers all day and sold quite a bit.
We're picking JJ up at the train station tonight. He's having computer problems and needs to get it running ASAP since he uses it for work. I don't know how long he'll stay, but even a brief visit is good.
Yesterday I put together a top for UGRR. The yellow striped fabric made it look like more work than it actually was to make. I'm thinking a young girl might like the bright pink.
Today I sewed about a dozen more little log cabins for my broken star wall hanging from this post. I should be about halfway done with the blocks needed.

Happy quilt! Don't you just love it when a fabric adds more than you thought it would to a quilt! For that reason I use a lot of stripes.

I agree with Pam, very happy quilt...it looks great.
What a bright, cheerful quilt! The stripes really do make it look more intricate. What a clever idea! Good job!
What a very Happy quilt and I love those tiny log cabins.
Gee whiz, reading over your accomplishments over the past few days has me jealous. Your machine must be smokin'!
It's a lovely quilt - a little girl somewhere will love this. Good luck with the sale.
Nice quilt Jeanne. Love the colors.
very pretty and I love the log cabin pattern :)
Good luck at the garage sale....
Hey Jeanne! Love the bright, cheerful quilt - can definitely see it on a young girl's bed, adding colour to her room. And can't wait to see the Broken Star quilt finished - will look spectacular! Happy stitching! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
Hi Jeanne-nice work! and I can't wait to see the whole broken start quilt. Its going to be amazing.
Oh yes this is perfect for a little girl.
very happy happy quilt! love the colors
Love the colors.
Happy week.
That is a very happy quilt. I love it. My dad was a big auction lover. In fact the auctioneer used to just let him have things at a low bid rather than keep letting the bidding go further. Those were fun times going with him and coming home with who knows what.
That's as pretty as can be, Jeanne!
Hi Jeanne, Thanks for visiting my blog! What does UGRR stand for? Our quilt group makes quilts for the local Ronald MacDonald house, and they're much appreciated. I am sure some little girl will really love this pretty one.
Hi! I came on over here by way of MaryQuilts and wanted to delurk and say I love the picture of your cat!! Cats are just the best, aren't they!!
