I haven’t run for days…lazy. So I might be adding some fluff to my middle section, especially with all this beer I love.
But I am productive. Three Quilting Bee Blocks and two pillows in two days. That’s my marathon.
I funked up Rachel’s String Block for the Cottage Quilting Bee. Sorry about that Rachel, the white is off, but I’m a newbie and fully hooked on this! Check out her tutorial. I think this will be my block for my Ten Make Two Month. Sorry in advance to those of you having to make two. You all can damn me now.
I decided instead of blending my little corner studio in the living room or the livudio as we call it, that I would make it stand out. I already had the red metal drawers and made myself a pillow for my booty and painted my chair black. I’m lovin’ all the red and purple popping up all over the place.

I believe I’ll go check out the swivel chairs at IKEA this week, maybe it can add some more fluff.
My Ten Makes Two Blocks for By Needle and Thread just pressed!
They look awesome in person.
Oh, but wait! I finished this for my friend’s birthday. She has the most awesome hand painted pillow with a Virgin of Guadalupe on it. I thought this would pair up well.
They are all beautiful, but I’m really loving your red & purple pillow!
Gorgeous, I love it all! I especially love that red and purple cushion, red and purple pair up so well together!
Oh I love that string block! I wanna try that now, but I wish I had YOUR scraps. 😀
I hear you on the fluff in the middle and beer – ughh! But it’s just so yummy! And I haven’t even been productive in the sewing…I did rearrange a few rooms today so I do feel like I accomplished something though.
Love the pillows – and all the blocks – gorgeous!
ˆlove, love, love the aqua quilt pieces! they are what I’ve been wanting to make for forever and didn’t know it! love that they aren’t in any formal order … sort of like the way I live my life.
Are you in the Portland area? I’d love to do a class with you … elsa
who needs exercise when you’ve got a pillow like that for your butt?
I’m hooked on those string blocks too. I wonder if anyone would mind if they have 2 months of making them? Hmm…….
So it’s the beer that’s causing the fluff in the middle? Dang! Not willing to give that up.
Love all those pillow covers – especially the virgin one. Those fabrics are fabulous!
I love these pillows! All of the colors really pop together. The pattern for the blue and green pillow is really unique. You should sell these!
Hi! I joined the value group on flickr and traced you back here. I love the purple/red pillow and the whole idea of making your corner studio an accent point. You’re off to a great start (love the red drawers). I’m looking forward to the quilt along.

But I love your pillows this could inspire me back in productivity;)
