Edyta Sytar has many patterns (books) and fabric lines (Moda) that look "rustic". I also like flannels for that look Janie.

I need to come up with a quilt for the back of my couch.  I just repainted my living room and would like something a little rustic or outdoorsy.  any suggestions on pattern or fabric line.

Went to a great "Quilt Camp" just recently and got a queen top done along with a baby quilt and wall hanging quilted. It was so much fun, good food and friends...loved it.

Are any of you going to the quilt show at Sauder Farms in Archbold, OH? It is a really good show with over 400 quilts on display. It runs from Tuesday, April 30-Sunday, May 5. http://www.saudervillage.org/Creativity/quilt_show.asp

Janie and Victoria, those all sounds like fun projects.  I have been making progress in cleaning up the sewing room, but still have a long way to go!  I have found many quilts in progress that I need to work on.  I will probably be making 3 baby quilts soon, I hope to use some of the quilts I have already started for those!  For those of you who own a serger, I discovered a wonderful way to store the cones of serger thread!  I used an over the door shoe storage thing with the pouches.  I put all of the cones of the same color in each of the pouches, so when I am trying to find my thread it will be much easier now.

Hi Cheryl and everyone from Michigan. After a long hiatus from quilting, I finally got the opportunity to  start up the sewing machine again and I just finished my Disappearing 9 patch quilt, Fairy Dust. I love this pattern! I am starting on a quilt made from the Story Time Squares pattern. I haven't used this pattern before so I will have to see how it goes.

Hi Cheryl, I am working on creating a Valentine Wall hanging.  My husband built a quilt wall hanger for me and I enjoy putting up wall hangings to decorate for the holidays or the seasons.  So I have to get a Valentine quilt made to put up.  I have an idea, but would really love any  suggestions.  As far as organization in your quilting room, shelving shelving shelving.  I have a nightstand with 4 drawers beside my machine and I store all my machine stuff in it. (ie. marking pens, sewing machine feet, scissors, etc)  they are so handy there.  that is probably the best storage idea I implemented.  Just make it your own and have fun!!!

What is everyone working on?  As for me, I need to work on getting my sewing room cleaned up before I can start anything else!  Everything got thrown into that room when we cleaned up for Christmas : (  If anyone has any suggestions for how to organize fabric and quilting supplies, that would be wonderful!

Hello fello Michigander's...I feel really fortunate to live here in Michigan.  We have so many quilt shop's, I can think of 8 right off the top of my head within 60 minutes of my home.  I feel bad for the quilters who have been complaining about no quilt stores in their areas.  But I don't mind driving to each store either, living in Northern Michigan we have to travel often so it is no big deal to me anymore.  Michigan is a very quilter friendly place.

I am working on some purses for the next two weeks.  My son has organized an auction benefit for a friend that has terminal cancer.  I hope they go for a good price.  (Just got the message that she is gone, she went through cancer with such grace).  Well back to my machine, got lots of purses to make for our Robin.
