Sneak peek.....

I just finished making my sweetie some chocolate chip cookies, thought I would surprise him with them when he comes home from work!
It has been a productive 4 day weekend!  Cinnamon Twist is now quilted and has the binding sewn on.  I can finish tacking the binding down tonight while watching "24".   I have to say that "24" and "American Idol" are the ONLY things I like about January!



And here is a sneak peek at the quilt I am getting ready to quilt next, On Eagle's Wings by Laundry Basket Quilts.  It is a paper foundation flying geese pineapple, and let me tell you, I nearly went crazy tearing all that backing off.  Instead of using paper, I thought I would try the stuff you can buy at JoAnn's.  It sews very nicely, easier than paper, but what a pain to tear off!  It does not tear off easily at all!  I am so thrilled to have it ready to quilt!

Great sneak peek. I've found myself getting frustrating trying to rip foundation pieces off. I've had the most success with typing paper, remember the old fashion kind that's kind of translucent.

What a stunning quilt this is going to be. I too don't like tearing off the paper. Someone told me phone book paper is really easy to tear off but I haven't tried it yet. I plan on using it for a string quilt......someday.

Looks lovely...and what a mess those papers make!

Your colors are awesome. The "pineapple" pattern has always appealed to my eye but I have an aversion to paper piecing. Always makes me feel dyslexic. This quilt will be a stunner.
