Good Morning everyone!

I am working on my second cup of coffee now and thought I would check in with everyone. I will have some patterns up here in a little while. If you see one you like let me know.

Today will require me to do a little work sewing. Please check out the website at http://dustbeegone.com/

These are great masks to wear and made in the USA by ME!!! My husband used his when he was insulating our house and just loved it. I think he still has them too! Have fun checking out the website and leave me your thoughts. They are well worth the money!

I am in the process of designing a Halloween wall hanging and my goal today is to complete two blocks for that. Once I have the blocks done I can start writing the directions. Don't worry these will be very easy to follow. I recently put a horse quilt together for my oldest daughter with the worst directions I have ever seen. I purchased it years ago and I won't say where or when or by whom but after struggling with the design I finally put it together. I feel sorry for any newbie to quilting who purchased that pattern. It's a lesson learned to me, keep things simple and have lots of pictures.

YOUR mission for today is to check out the Etsy shop and let me know your thoughts! If you see something you like or have questions on please let me know here. If you DON'T see something you would like, also let me know. I will see what can be done.

Have a super Saturday, the sun is shining here!

Welcome to Calico Junction!! This is a place for life to happen and also for quilting to happen!!

Grab a cup of coffee and come sit on the porch with me and we can talk quilts. I would love to see what you are working on and I will share my quilts with you as well. 

My goal this year is to actually complete the quilts that I have either just started or blocks and sections of quilts that have been sitting around forever. Some will be for sale, for charity and some just for me and my family!

I will have patterns to share and for you to purchase as I sort through my studios and also some fabric. Over the years I have accumulated lots of patterns that I will never use or try. I also have lots of magazine's that need to find a new home. I will be posting those here too and will happily send them to their new owners. 

To get things started I will share this quilt today. It's a log cabin design that I made for my daughter. She picked out the fabrics and she is in love with this. I have to admit that I really like the way this came out. I had my doubts at first because black and white aren't my normal color palette that I work from but once it was all done and on the bed!!! WOW!!!

So please share what you are working on. This is the first blog so there will be changes coming each time you check back until I get this exactly how I want it so please be patient.
