Stash Report- September 26, 2010

 Nothing like watching the New Orleans Saints play on Sunday while I snuggle under my new Saints lap quilt!  Just got it back from the longarmer and put the binding on. 

Cindy of CeCe Quilts did the longarm quilting.  She uses a custom pattern with "New Orleans Saints", fleur de lis, "NFL", a map of Louisiana and the ever controversial "Who Dat?"  Although the color is distorted in the pictures, she used a gold thread for the quilting which really stands out.

 I just love the backing.  It is a black and gold 108" wide batik.  I make a paper pieced heart as my signature label and sign & date  it with an extra fine black Sharpee.

And with the leftover fabric......I made a wall hanging for my front door.

This week's stash report had some additions.  Once I brought my Saints quilt to work for my co-workers to see several of them want one!  I told them it would be months before I could get to it and it would be expensive, but I rushed right out to my local quilt shop, Mes Amis, and bought the Saints, Fleur de lis and other black and gold fabric.
