SOMETIMES I SEW FOR ME

Remember sometime back I showed this quilt top before it was quilted?
I scalloped the edges and the corners to match the quilting!
I bought these awesome silk pillows at T J Maxx....does anyone else love T J Maxx? The fringe is aqua, gold and black.
Remember the cream print was the one I scored on the flat fold table for $1.99 per yard? The quilting cost more than the fabric and batting for the entire quilt...it was worth it! Hope you are sewing something for yourselves!

I'd say the quilting was definitely worth it! The design is wonderful. I really like the pillows, too.

Good for you Sheri. It's lovely. Score on the pillows. Yes, I love TJ Maxx and Marshalls. You just never know what you'll find.

Your quilt is beautiful! I love the scalloped edges. Is there a trick to doing that, or is it really easy?) And I love hearing about good bargains, especially in the fabric department. I am looking online right now for the best prices on Simple Abundance. Can't wait to start something out of it! Oh, and TJ Maxx is an amazing store, especially if you show up at the right time. Like right after a new truckload came in!
