Happy Halloween!!

My first trick-or-treaters!!

MOVING SALE MONDAY!!

SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY!!

Thank you to those who made purchases!!

Send me an email at akyoung49@yahoo.com with the reference Moving Sale and tell me which items you would like to purchase - please include your full name and email address.  For Utah residents I do need to charge Utah sales tax of 6.7%.  If you are local, we can arrange a pick-up time.
I will send you a Paypal invoice - you do not need to have a Paypal account to pay the invoice, a credit card is fine.  Once the invoice is paid I will mark the item as sold.  Until the invoice is paid, the item will be available for others to buy.

When everything in a specific catagory is sold, I will write SOLD so you will know that item is no longer available that week.  Monday night I will close Moving Sale Monday until the next week.

International sales are welcome and with the savings you get, it will make the international postage have less of a sting!!

If you have any questions you can email me at akyoung49@yahoo.com

THANK YOU!!

Monthly Guild Challenge . . .

Tammy over at Two Tangled Threads is in my Sew Small Quilt Guild and she is the one heading up the monthly challenge to learn basic block techniques in tiny quilts.  She does a "small" version and a "smaller" version.

I didn't get last month's done because I waited until the last minute.  Not this month!!  The challenge was a 9-patch.  I decided to do a vanishing 9-patch and I got the flimsie done this evening ~

This is the "small" version and the top measures 17" x 17."  I used the new LOL collection by Me and My Sister Designs.  If I have time, I would like to give the "smaller" version a try - but just a 9-patch since the little medallions in this one are only the size of a nickel!!

There is Beauty All Around . . .

Have a wonderful autumn day!!

Too Much Fabric - It's Gotta Go!!

I have recently found out that I will be moving from my cute little home in the next couple of years.  Usually that is not a problem as I have moved so many times I can't count on all my fingers and toes.

But now that I have 800 bolts of fabric, 250 Jelly Rolls and over 400 Charm Packs down in my studio, not to mention all the bins of fabric, thread and patterns . . . YIKS!!

So, I am going to have a weekly moving sale here at Lavender Quilts!!

Internet Image

I am going to call it Moving Sale Monday!!  Each Monday I will post items for sale at really good prices.  Example - Moda Jelly Roll of the week will be $25.00 instead of the retail price of $39.00.  Even with the shipping ($5.99) the Jelly Roll will be still be more than $8.00 off the retail price.   Each item will have it's own shipping cost and I will combine shipping costs with multiple purchases.   I will only be charging you the actual shipping cost - nothing more, nothing less!!

I am thinking this will accomplish three things:

1.  I won't have as much to move when I have to leave this home;

2.  You will get REALLY good deals on Quilt Shop Quality fabrics;

3.  You will be able to build your stash - if that is in your game plan!!

Here is how it will work:

1.   I will consistently post on Mondays at 7:00 a.m. mountain time (standard or daylight savings time whichever is in effect at the time)

2.   I will post pictures of items for sale with the number available.

3.   You will send me an email at akyoung49@yahoo.com with the reference Moving Sale and tell me which items you would like to purchase.  For Utah residents I do need to charge Utah sales tax of 6.7%.

4.   I will check my email throughout the day and send you a Paypal invoice - you do not need to have a Paypal account to pay the invoice, a credit card is fine.

5.   When everything in a specific catagory is sold, I will write SOLD so you will know that item is no longer available that week.  Monday night I will close Moving Sale Monday until the next week.

6.  International sales are welcome and with the savings you get, it will make the international postage have less of a sting!!

7.   If you have any questions you can email me at akyoung49@yahoo.com

I hope this will be a fun adventure for all of us!! 
Please tell your friends!!

I Have Always Wanted . . .

to participate in a Round Robin but have never been in the right place at the right time.  So, when our Sew Small Guild started a Row Robin, I was in!!

With this Robin we supply our own fabric and I picked ~

who else??  Kaffe Fassett.  Now, as you can see this is VERY colorful and very in your face - Kaffe would be proud.  And very small - each of the 6 blocks in the row finish out at 3 inches!!

I think we get to choose the Row Robins we want to be part of if enough sign up, so I am hoping that here in "Dark and Dirty" land, someone in the Guild will enjoy branching out into the world of color!!

I'll take pictures each month so you can follow along!!  Should be a hoot!!  ;-0

A New Day is Dawning . . .

I tried to post this picture this morning but I have been having trouble accessing my blog. I finally figured out how to do it through the back door, so I wanted to share this sunrise picture with you!!

Its a Bigger Mystery Than I thought!!

I am making a lot of progress on my Mystery Quilt from 2003!!  I have all the blocks done now and I ended up with 30 blocks!!  Yiks!!  And these are 12" blocks!!

With sashing and a border, this will make, what, a triple king size quilt??  Ok, onward and upward!!
