Back in my sewing room…I have a quilt to bind this week…
One of my favorites…”Saltwater Taffy” made with Fresh Cottons (pattern and fabric by Joanna of Fig Tree & Company).
And I’m just finishing up another quilt with Fresh Cottons…this is “Clovers” (also by Joanna Figueroa).
I have the body of the quilt set together and just need to add borders and get it quilted! I have just loved sewing with Fresh Cottons…it’s one of my favorite Fig Tree lines ever (although I LOVE Breakfast at Tiffany’s too…can’t wait to sew with it again as well).
Oh…and one more surprise…you might remember I just celebrated my 2nd blogiversary on July 1st…and I celebrated my birthday this past weekend…so it’s time for a giveaway! I’ll be back soon with all the details! Have a wonderful day!

Lucky you, the star pillow is gorgeous! And so is Saltwater Taffy! If I hadn't so many projects already going on I would start my own SWT right now…the fabric feels so fresh, just irresistible.
