Journal Cover Tutorial

You have to see this post of a Journal Cover tutorial over
at Exuberant Color Blog. It is a treat to look through all
18 posts of the journals she has made- she is not kidding about
loving color! Check for Journals under the LABELS on her sidebar.

I think I am going to make a Bible cover with it-
It may or may not turn out. Bible covers are pretty flimsy.

I am home from church with a sick 4 year old. I think he
will be good as new tomorrow, but I'm missing the monthly
church B-B-Q and the much needed fellowship that comes with it.
It is well with my soul.

Love, Moorea

The winner is... NOVA

Please forgive me, I have not figured out how to use the random
counter on my blog yet...


So I cut all paper exactly the same size...


I write your names...


I fold it precisely, put them in a bowl and them mix around...

The winner is: NOVA! Please email me: mcrich@sbcglobal.net with
your snail mail address and I will get the fabric right out to
you Monday!

Sorry about the delay- my 4 year old stared throwing up around
10am and I forgot to do the drawing.

Love, Moorea

Name labels

I was finally able to find my favorite label maker online-
It is Namemaker.com - there are so many great labels to choose
from! They even have one that says "Quilted By," so sweet!
I really like being able to put these on little doll quilts that
are given away for charity projects, or on flannel rag quilts.

Love, Moorea

Good Morning!

Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.

~ Psalm 103:2, NLT

Scrapbag Give Away-

I have had so much fun going through my stash to tidy it up-
and pull out fabrics I know I am not going to be using with
any of the MANY quilting projects I have going.
So- I am passing them on! I hope you like the scrappyness of
the whole kit and caboodle- it is a real collection of just
about everything! Most pieces are fat quaters, but there are
a few larger, and some are smallish scraps. Winter is the
perfect time to cut and replenish crumbs/strips for scrap
quilts. If you have not seen Bonnie from Quiltville's Scrap
User System, see it HERE.

To enter- just leave a comment telling us the system you use
to keep track of fabrics that are smaller than fat quarters-
I guess crumbs/ strips.

Contest Ends in two weeks, October 31st! NOVA Won! email me
at mcrich@sbcglobal.net!

Love, Moorea

Escape!

Some days are better than others, and while it was a pretty good
day from all accounts, I just felt upside-down inside. I REALLY
needed to get out- so I escaped the madhouse this evening and
flew to the copy shop to make a bazillion copies of my Quilt
Record so I could sit and organize my record book. I have been
shoving photos of quilts in the binder and have not gotten
around to writing anything about them- and we all know that after
a few years and a few more quilts made & given goes by- we forget
all those little details that should be documented! I was able to
sit next door at Wendy's without interruption to record & stuff
page protectors to my heart's content! It was just what I needed
and I sure do feel better!

Please, please, please, print out a copy of the Quilt Record,
make copies and start recording your quilts! This Minnesota Quilters site is helpful.

You'll need:

Pretty Binder
Page protectors
Copies of Quilt Record
Photos of your quilts
Favorite pen
Double stick tape
