Apple Of My Eye is here!

Hi Everyone,

The Quilted Fish's Apple Of My Eye is here... Thanks for making us pretties again Amanda!

Happy Monday! Let's talk color...

Hi Everyone,

As soon as I get up from this chair it is going to be a busy day. Maybe I will sit here a while longer :) Apple Of My Eye is coming today and so are a few new basics from Art Gallery... I am having so much fun filling out the colors in my basics. I am trying to pick colors that are a little out of my normal range.



I call this Hot Chocolate

 It is exciting and new to have golds and chocolates and not my usual blues and greens (well, not all the time anyway). I decided to go look at the Pantone Color Trends for this year to see what will be upcoming in the fashion world as far as color goes... I am always so amazed with 20/20 hindsight ...when I look at the trends for Spring/Summer they are all the colors that are selling well in the shop right now.

Happy Friday... and the Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

Seems like you all love Bella as much as I do. For the Giveaway today I thought I would introduce you to my friend Janet. Janet has been following me and encouraging me almost from the start on my little blog... You will like her blog, as well, her pictures are so beautiful and she lives some place exotic.. The Yukon... totally cool... So here is what you can win:

A Joy charm pack and 1/2 yds of two pretty solids that match. So head on over to Janet's blog and enter to win. Christmas might come early to your house. Even though she didn't ask you to follow her I bet she would like it if you did :)

Have you heard about the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along? I have to admit I hadn't until Sally posted about it yesterday. Head on over to her blog to see how to make this:

Then you might want to go check out all of the other blocks... much fun happening there.

Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild tomorrow... so if I don't see ya... have a lovely weekend!

Bella is mucho bella!

Hi Everyone,

What a crazy week... eep! Please forgive me if I owe you an email!

A couple months ago I ordered Lotta Jansdotter's new collection called Bella even though I could only see about two of the prints in the picture my rep sent me... Echo lovers rejoice! You are gonna love this one.. here is a little sneaker...

Oh the joy of it all!!!

Here is another little tidbit.. I met with my Free Spirit rep today and Denyse Schmidt has a new collection coming in August...

And oh joy of joys!!!! Apple Of My Eye will be here Monday... you don't want to miss that one.

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone,

I got to sew for a minute this weekend... Paper piecing is not my forte (I gotta take the time to figure out how to do an accent on that... I will put it on the list ) My brain does not do backwards well... at least I only had to pull three seams on this thing.

This is the March Block for Cindy at the Stash Bee... I love how it came out... but I won't be making a quikt out of it anytime soon.

I will be a little quiet again this week,. Most of you know (if you have been around for a while) that I homeschool my daughter. She still takes the state standardized tests every spring, though, and this week is that week. So we are going to be away each morning from 8 to after noon. Then I have to get all of my work done :)

The girls and I have been working on a secret project. I might announce what it is in the newsletter this month. I can't wait ... we are pretty excited about it.

Talk soon!
