Fresh Cottons.

A little "Fresh Cottons" to share with you today.

(Fig Tree Quilts for Moda)

This one's actually pretty big - 60" x 72". 

I love stacked coin quilts because they remind me of the DNA gel images in the lab.

I went with the largest scale print in the line for the backing and the green binding.

I also opted for borders on this one.

My little who was SERIOUSLY envious of that red dot fabric. 

She wanted me to make a dress out of it. 

NOW!

If I were a nice mom, I would have made her a dress with it.

Obviously, I'm not that nice. ;)

I'll grab more for her when I go back to the store if she reminds me, but my bet is that she'll forget all about it.

This one is in the shop. 

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has had a fabulous Easter weekend.

I'm sure you spent yours doing similar things... 

- coloring eggs (cleaning up dye messes)

- hunting for eggs (trying to remember how many eggs were hidden so there isn't a nasty mess somewhere in the future)

- getting dressed up for an extra special day at church (trying to contain out of control children for hours in a quiet room with plenty of judgmental eyes)

- spending time with family (slaving away in the kitchen while everyone complains that they are too hungry)

- etc.

So, I had these great Easter sewing plans. 

Luckily I finished something. 

Definitely have a bunch of half finished stuff lying about still though. :(

Maybe by next year? 

Let's just say, "I doubt it." and leave it at that. 

News of "things" to come soon - just not yet.

So anyway, back to the successful part of the story.

(I'm giving myself a B- this year for not finishing the quilt-y things I started.)

The only thing I couldn't live without... matching outfits for the kiddos.

I know. 

I probably would have survived somehow, but it wouldn't have been pretty.

And another thing.

Boy clothing... takes a LOT of effort. I wouldn't say that any particular thing was "hard" just so dang many steps and pieces. 

It would take a brave moment to decide to do it again.

More pictures on my other blog.

And the kids are actually looking at the camera in those pictures. 

Well, some of them.

I take what I can get.
