The Carol Quilt has been tested and is now available for purchase on Craftsy or Etsy . Happy Friday! We are just wrapping up Spring Break at our house and it has been a long week. I love my children dearly but they are driving me crazy. This quilt is actually going to go to one of my son's kindergarten teachers. She is wonderful; I love how much she appreciates my son's personality and has helped him to learn and grow. I came up with the idea for the quilt after ordering some of Heather Ross' Tiger Lily fabric (I ordered mine here ) to use as a quilt backing. I love this print - the colors, the flowers, everything. It is so sweet. This color scheme was fun to work with but is a little out of my comfort zone. I love pink and orange, but am not big on yellow or green, but together I really like the color combo. The binding is one of my all time favorite prints - Chicopee simple plaid. I have gone through so much of i...
I have been doing a little sewing lately, but I would like to be doing a lot of sewing. There are so many fabrics, notions, books, etc. so I am thinking about adding a weekly (monthly, bi-weekly?) feature of things that I would love to add to my own personal stash. This will include products from my sponsors, but also products out there that I would just really love to have. To be honest, I think this idea kind of evolved from conversations I have had with my husband about what we would do if we won the Powerball. Clearly I would buy a lot of fabric ;) The #1 print I would love to add to my stash right now is . . . Buck Forest Twilight by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics. I loved this print in the original colorways and now it is available in navy. NAVY. Love it. Speaking of amazing blue fabrics . . . Grid Diamond Navy from Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander. Can you tell I am really loving blues? This is my favorite print from Carka...
I am back with another list of things that I would love to have if I had infinite time, space, and money. There are a few things from my awesome sponsors and a few things I have just seen around. What is on your wish list these days? 1. A sewing machine for my daughter. She is turning 8 next month and is interested in learning to sew, but I don't really want her learning on my machine. Do you have any recommendations? I am thinking about this Janome Hello Kitty machine . 2. A Nikon d500 . For the past few years I have been using my beloved Nikon d7000. It has served me well, but the d500 will take better photos in low light, it has a tilting touchscreen, and can automatically transfer photos to your phone. 3. Some yardage of this Vintage Picnic Extra Wide print in Navy . This would work with so many color combos, it is so cute, and it is 108" wide so you wouldn't have to piece together your backing fabric. ...
Congratulations to lucky Lou!
