Murphy Bed Arrived

Pin It

Husband is the number one person to find things on the internet and here's the latest, a Murphy Bed for my sewing room. 


It is so HEAVY and I don't know how we did it, but we did ! 





 Never say NEVER ! 

The last VERY HEAVY Lift ! 
Lifted it on to a chair on one side and then lifted the other side in. We were moving from side to side quick.




DONE AND LOVE IT

Our Group Quilt Project

Pin It

So many of us at my small quilt group get this magazine that we decided on one of the patterns from
Missouri Star Quilt Co. BLOCK Magazine - HERE 

Book 4 page 20
Each of us was given the back ground fabric 2 - 10" x 10" and we each added any Batik fabric, any color,  2 - 10" x 10"

This is for a Quilt Basket give away at guild (which I'm not a member of?)  42 finished quilt blocks, ready for the winner to put together.

Sandwiched together, sew outside edges - cut apart


 Cut again and then turned

And sewn together

I've not done other's quilt patterns in a long time. This one????
I know it's all about the charm 10" squares, but...
I could do rotary cutting in not much time and be done ! 
But, it's always a good workout for the mind, RIGHT?
