Quilting time also keeps me sane and civil, and I've been doing a bit here and there. I finished my Bee Block for July (hey, it's STILL July!). She asked for a star block with the red, white and blue solids that she sent. I enjoyed making this Morning Star block:
Then, Christina of A Few Scraps is calling for donated quilt blocks for the Black Rock Stitchery project at the Burning Man Festival in August. I don't really grasp the concept, but I was thrilled to throw together some orphan quilt block pieces to make some pretty random 12.5" blocks for her.
Random block:
Even more random (but look how I mitered the corner - boo ya!)
Totally random
So I'll be giving the postman some outgoing business, but check out what he has delivered for me lately:
My first completed Bee Block from the red, white and black fabrics I sent out with the little quilt sayings - I can't wait to see the blocks everyone comes up with and what I end up with when they are put together - definitely going to be a quilt for ME:
An awesome postcard from Joe Tulips to use as a sample for a project I want to do with the cub scouts this year (when it is not BEAUTIFYING my sewing room):
Oh, and a couple of fabrics that I accidentally bought one day during my lunch break when I forgot to bring lunch...(I've been bad, very bad)
But truly, I needed some more black and white and reds since I sent most of what I owned out with my August Bee fabrics
Everyone can always use a neutral
And I want to make a baby quilt with pieced airplane blocks, and this fabric is perfect to coordinate, right?
And I couldn't resist the name of this line - Surfing Monkeys. Ocean waves, heat waves and starfish - cute, cute, cute!
Green and yellow are colors that are pretty slim in my stash
And sometimes random stuff grabs your fancy.
I will say that everything was on sale...
OK, I admit it, I need an intervention...

Haha.....can't help you with the intervention....an addict can't intervene for another addict!!! hehe
Love your new additions though!
You have been bad. That's way more than a couple of fabrics! Good for you!
Love your random blocks and the star.
The post card is great, I can see why you have it in your sewing room.
Uhhh, Erin, unless there is a new quilt shop in Lexington, you had to drive a ways to get to somewhere to accidently buy some fabric -- but that's OK - you had a hard week! So, good for you!!!
