Fabric, Cooking.......Fun

I got all the fabrics from my local shop "Happy Sewing Room". It's a short BOM lasting six months begining January. The new blocks will be given on the 15th each month! My dear friend Millie is joing me and I am very excited to see what fabric colors she will pick.
We downloaded the Tetris Party on the Nintendo Wii and it's a great family game, we played all weekend!
I am washing my fabrics today, hopefully I will work on step one tomorrow. I also worked on my secret project last weekend. I am making a wedding quilt for my baby sister in Bulgaria. I have it almost half pieced! It's a very exciting project, I picked a very happy and bold fabrics ;), but no .....I can't show it!
Happy Sewing!

Sixth Picture Meme - I've Been Tagged
I was tagged by my friend Millie from Millie's Quilting for a Sixth Picture Meme. I had to go to my Pictures folder, then go to the sixth folder and show the sixth picture in it and tell the story behind it. Here it is:
It's a picture of my DH and my brother-in-law Ryan in front of the house they lived in Arizona. Ryan is in the Army so they have to move a lot. They are living in Hawaii right now. My husband and his father drove from PA to Arizona their car and then my sister-in-law and the kids flew there to join Ryan. They are such a lovely family and I miss my nephews!
I made this "Ribbon Star Table Runner" few years ago for my mother-in-law and then I decided to make one for me too. I used original pattern from Happy Sewing Room. I have mine quilted and its missing only the binding. I hope showing it will motivate me to finish it soon :)
Now it's my turn to tag six people to play along. Tag your it:
Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.
Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.
Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.
Have fun with the game!
As a bonus I decided to show you the Sixth picture of My Quilts folder:
Now it's my turn to tag six people to play along. Tag your it:
- Barb of Ocean Waves Quilts
- Julie of I wonder what will happen if...
- Veronica of Rather be Quilting
- Judy of Patchwork Times
- Kathy of Quiltldy
- Heather of Heatherfinnell
Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.

What a Surprise from Millie!
I got a package in the mail yesterday. It was a big box full of goodies from my friend Millie. She deleted her blog by mistake and I felt so bad for her, after all the time and love she put into it. I am so excited she decided to blog again!
I opened the box and I found this pretty bag!!! I love the colors and the pink tissues :-)
I love these pastel colors, there are so feminine!
I can't say enough Thank You Millie!

I am joining "Quiltathon '09"
I decided to join the Quiltathon weekend. It is snowing here in PA. It is a perfect day to spend sewing. I made breakfast, lunch will be leftover chicken soup. I am ready to go, made special Bulgarian coffee in my little espresso maker and drinking coffee in the mug - I got for Christmas from my brother in law Bret. I am working on blocks for the border for my blue and yellow quilt.
Happy Sewing everyone!

Pineapple Welcome Quilt
I was looking at some of my UFO's and I found out that I am missing the letter "L" in the "Pineapple Welcome Quilt". I picked it up from "Caroline's Cottage Cottons"IN, design by Cyndy Lash.
I guess finishing it will require making a new "L" :-)
This quilt was a challenge to me color wise. I did get the kit, but then I did not like some of the colors, so I replaced them. I don't have a big collection of batiks, which is why I got the kit, but I am working on it ;-)
In Memory of my father!

Rest in peace Dad!
Po4ivai v mir tatko! Obi4ame te!
