I probably use the word “miscellaneous” a little too often. But I honestly couldn’t think of any other post title that fit my thoughts today any better. The fabric above is fabric I heart…Japanese fat quarters that I received from Kerri. I love them all, but the Matryoshka dolls have to be my favorites. Thank you Kerri!
And some of the new Willow prints from Alexander Henry….I heart them too…wish I could have bought them all!
Yesterday I decided to join in the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along after seeing so many of these great blocks all around blogland. I’m really glad I decided to do this quilt…after all, I had a jelly roll of Shangri-La that I’d been hoarding saving… and it will be much better used as a fun, family room quilt than just sitting in my sewing room! The cream tonal from Simple Abundance coordinates perfectly with the Shangri La, so I’m using that for my background fabric.
I’m still working on my favorite basket blocks ever…(halfway finished…can’t wait to set them together)!
And, I got my Blush Jelly and Jam back from the quilter–
And, I got my Blush Jelly and Jam back from the quilter–
I’ll be busy getting the binding finished today. This quilt is a shop quilt for a class I’ll be teaching in April! I have several projects almost finished and almost to the stage where I can post about them–hoping to get some good “sewing room” time in soon!
How about a giveaway too…the wonderful girls over at Designer Blogs would love to give a free blog button with html code to one of you…just leave a comment on this post to be entered…I’ll keep the drawing open until Friday, March 12th!
Oh, and I also wanted to mention Kari’s giveaway over at Fresh Cut Quilts I think you’ll want to go see what she has for a giveaway. See…this was a very miscellaneous kind of post! Have a wonderful day, and I hope you get to sew!
