Remember Black Friday?

Thanksgiving seems so long ago , but Black Friday the day after when everybody goes crazy for the sales I stay home.
This year while I was hiding at home  Black Friday found me.  I got an email from Martingale about their Black Friday sale.  The prices were just too good to miss so I ordered a few of the books I had been wanting.
Now with the Holidays almost behind me I finally found some time to sit and look through them.

Spotlight on Neutrals by Pat Wys has been on my want list since it came out.  I have a king sized bed and I don't like making a lot of king sized quilts so I thought I would make one out of neutrals and then I could just drape my smaller quilts over the end of the bed to display them.  Or I could make one of those bed runners.

I like Scrap-Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett because most of the patterns will work with my Go Cutter.  Which will make for a lot of quick quilts.

I am very fond of Nativity scenes and there is a beautiful one in Adoration Quilts. When I get brave enough I am going to attempt it. 

 Look it isn't even 2012 yet and I am already behind.

What sewing do you have planned for 2012?

Happy stitching,

Nancy

Another Amazon Visit!

My friendly UPS man came today with more books.

Tonya Ricucci's first book Word Play Quilts arrived.  I have been looking forward to getting this book because I really like her quilts.  If you aren't familiar with Tonya's work you should check out her blog Lazy Gal Quilting.  Lots of great work there.

 And of course to get free shipping at Amazon you have to spend $25.00 - so I also got Stack the Deck Revisited by Karla Alexander.  Looked interesting.  Sometime I buy books just to dream and never get around to making any quilts in them.  Is there anyone else out there like me?

Somebody Stop Me!

OK, I have finally decided I need help.  My friends already tell me I get way too many packages from Amazon.  I think Amazon has my credit card number on speed dial. 

I just love books and can't seem to control myself.  My latest purchase came today.

All of these books are wonderful and I have already found several things I want to make.

If only there were more hours in the day!

I haven't been able to post in a while because my old computer finally just gave up and died.

I bought a new one yesterday.  

I decided to get a new iMac and am so glad I did.  

I really like it.

There are lots of things I have to learn.   

It's very different from  PC.
