I'm Back!!!

We just got back from a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!

It was fabulous!

And I am Happy to be home and to show you what's new the shop this week!

Love Birds by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake Designs

We have it in Blue, Green and Pink Colorways!

This collection could totally double as a Holiday collection! The colors are perfect!

We also got in some Cotton Metallics from Michael Miller Fabrics.

This Delovely Damask in Green Tea is sparkly! Yes, it has glitter on it!

It is amazing!

Another Cotton Metallic is the Delovely Damask in Onyx, pictured below. It doesn't have glitter on it, but it does have a sparkly sheen!

Rouge et Noir from Michael Miller Fabrics also arrived this week!

The Eiffel Towers and little crowns are to die for!

Bliss by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics is here!

Bonnie and Camille are a Mother & Daughter team who are from Rigby!

Such talent!

Here are the prints we brought in from this gorgeous line!

The middle picture is a cream polka dot, just like the aqua one.

We also have Jelly Rolls, Charm Packs and Layer Cakes for this collection!

Fabric Covered Cork Board

My little man starts preschool next week.

I know, I can hardly believe it too!

His preschool schedule is quite complex, and I just knew that I would forget something at some point, and he would be the only one to show up not dressed up like a clown on "Clown Day".

Let's face it, I don't always have my duck's in a row!

So I needed a great place to hang the schedule.

And when THIS collection arrived yesterday, I knew it would be perfect!

Pure by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics

I had one of these laying around, so I painted the wood trim cream.

Then I got out my trusty Spray Adhesive and covered the cork part with the fabric. And I stapled the fabric down around the edges to make sure it was secure.

Where the raw edge of the fabric met the wood trim, I hot glued some ribbon around it, just to finish it off! It also covered up the staples.

The locker room is still a work in progress.

I have lots of ideas for it, if I could only find the time!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Fabric Coming Out Of My Ears

I am not exaggerating.

I literally have fabric coming out of my ears!

Here is what's new this week!

Sunny Daze by Alice Kennedy

In Blue

and in Pink

We have Green & Red Stitched Swirls back in stock!

Alphabet Scramble in Black& White and Khaki

I love these!

Fandango by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics

Petit Village from Timeless Treasures

I know what you are all thinking....

Where am I going to put all this fabric?

Good question. I am still trying to figure that out!

Nantucket Summer Dress

I know this collection is called Nantucket "Summer",

but it has the perfect colors for an autumn dress!

A sweet little autumn dress, with a basket-weave trim, and a sweet little flower corsage on the front.

I LOVE IT!

I went for a bell sleeve, but couldn't quite get it to "bell".

Oh well.

I wanted a BIG bow in the back.

Success.

And of course, we had to finish the photo shoot with a song.

Nantucket Summer will be on SALE all week long in the shop!

Aren't they cute?

Time to stock up!

Newbies!

Here is what's new in the SHOP this week!

Whahoo!

I am so excited for school to start so I can have time for all the projects I have planned for these fabulous collections!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Piece of Cake!

I just finished (as in 2 minutes ago) my second quilt!

And I just couldn't wait to show it off!

It truly was a Piece of Cake! Each square is 10", so a Layer Cake would help you whip this quilt up in no time.

I used Laurie Wisbrun's Tufted Tweets Collection, and just cut my own 10" squares, since I didn't have a layer cake.

The pattern was found in this fabulous magazine!

The one on the cover was my inspiration.

I don't think you would need the magazine though to complete this project. It was really quite simple.

You just need:

1 Layer Cake (or 32 10" Squares)

64 White 10" Squares

about 6 yards of fabric for the backing

about 1/2 yard of fabric for the binding

♥ You cut 6 1/2" circles out of your print fabrics, and then save the outer edge.

♥ Appliqué the circles you cut out onto a white square, and then appliqué the outer edge of the print fabric that you saved onto another white square.

♥ Repeat for all of your squares and then piece them together.

It will turn out sew cute!

I made this particular quilt for my kids' playroom. It can get quite chilly in the basement!

So here it will sit, until one of my babies needs to snuggle during Sesame Street.

We also added quite a few new prints to the shop this week, check 'em out!

Origins-I have a skirt planned for myself with this collection!

Domestic Diva - Isn't it perfect for an apron!

Hooty Hoot Kangaroo- I LOVE IT!

Next week we hope to have in:

Fandango from Moda

Paradise from Art Gallery

Opal Owl from Free Spirit

I will let you know as soon as they arrive!
