Hi there! My goodness it's been a while for a regular post. Things have been so out of whack lately! Between trying to finish up my second fabric collection with Art Gallery, writing/stitching up new patterns, getting current patterns ready for print (yay, finally!), being car-less for a week, regular day-to-day activities and teaching, I'm feeling a bit stretched. Too many different directions! Oh well, hopefully I'll find some normalcy soon!
I started a new embroidery yesterday! I once again pulled from a Color Me Retro print, this time from Florette. It's already stitching up really quick!
Last weekend I drove up to visit and sew with Anna and Megan! I brought along these blocks that I started at Quilt Camp in December using solid scraps. I don't usually work with just solids, but I'm loving these. They are all Pure Elements, I especially love the background which is almost a linen color, Sandstone.
Some sneaky peeks of two new quilt patterns! I can't wait for these two to be done, I'm really liking how they are coming together!
I finally got myself organized and re-opened my Vintage Sheet Etsy Shop! The pretty sheets I found over the holidays have been added to the mix!
I managed to get totally obsessed with The Big Bang Theory over the holidays! I can't get enough of it. It's like Friends meets 3rd Rock from the Sun. I love it!
Sometimes when you're stuck at home, the only thing to do is to bake a batch of Smitten Kitchen Blueberry Muffins, and eat half the batch immediately after baking! So good!
George bunny!
