Emily Ann Quilts now on Quilter Blogs!

Proud to announce that this very blog will be featured on http://www.quilterblogs.com/
Happy Monday!

Love when this happens...

I love when I buy fabrics on separate occasions that accidentally go together.  The local JoAnn's Fabric store here is moving locations and they are liquidating all of their remaining stock.  I stopped by to see if any higher quality fabric was left that I could get on the cheap and found this cute chick pattern fabric.

Fast forward to last week, I wanted to try a new thread I had heard good things about from Connectingthreads.com  and while I was there picked up a couple solid fabrics. 

While getting started on a quilted table runner I looked over and saw these fabrics thrown into a pile.

What do you think? 

Sneak Peak!

Well, it's a dreary, drizzly and damp kind of day here in Nebraska so I thought I'd give you a sneak peak at the first Emily Ann Quilt that will be up for sale in the Etsy shop.  Enjoy!

Spring is here! but... wait... snow?

Spring has sprung here in Nebraska, but in good old Nebraska style there is now snow in the forecast for the next couple of days. So, look at my pretty flowers quick, because I have a feeling they won't be in such good shape after the next few days. P.S. A sneak peak of my first quilt that will be up for sale in the Emily Ann Quilts Etsy shop (not open yet) is coming soon!

Quilting late into the night ... zzzzzzzz

As usual I started a new quilting project tonight and stayed up late to finish. I'm working on perfecting a quilted handbag that will be for sale on the future EmilyAnnQuilts Etsy site. I love the way it turned out and once I tweak it a bit I will show you guys some pictures, but for now, it's time for bed. Goodnight!

LOVE this idea to make quilt labels... think this might be my new project to tackle with the new "Emily Ann Quilts" logo.

My sewing room

About 6 months ago we decided to move our two girls into the same room and get a bunk bed for them to share.  They had been begging to share a room for awhile.  That meant there was an extra little room in the house with no use.  My husband was gracious enough to 'donate' the room to my new hobby and now it's my own sewing room!  It has saved soooo much time not having to set up and take everything down each time I wanted to work on my quilts.

 LOVE this little guy to organize my rulers!

I inherited my Great Grandmothers sewing machine and cabinet.  These were items that were in the cabinet.

The final touch to my sewing room was this wall vinyl.  I made sure it was right in front of my work space in full view!
