The Continuing HQ16 Story

I tracked down a set of canvas leaders this weekend and put them on today.  Now ... finally ... I can start quilting.  Tomorrow I'll load a practice piece and start playing.  =)

Remember the talking fabric from last week?  I'm so glad I shut up and let it talk.

Sorry for the short post today.  I have to go check the oven ... it's Wet Burrito Night.  Yummy!

Love,

Erin

Did you Know Fabric can TALK?!?!

Today I pulled out this collection of fat quarters by Tina Givens.  I got them from Whittle's Fabrics ... imagine that.  =)

There are 20 prints which is just perfect for a Turning Twenty quilt.  I was hoping it would turn out looking something like this quilt.  Isn't it beautiful!!!

But I couldn't make the first cut.  The fabrics kept saying "No, No!  Another pattern.  No, No!  Another pattern."  So I put down my rotary cutter and stepped away from the fabric.  After a short time browsing Flickr, I found this bit of inspiration:

Perfect and all the fabrics agreed!  I can't wait to lay it out, sew it together, so that I can show it to you.

Love,

Do you Believe in Fairies?

Abigail built this in the backyard this summer.  Brick exterior, slate roof, a flag pole and a bit of vine landscaping. 

 

Very cozy, don't you think??  If I was a fairy, I'd want to move right in.  =)

Love,
