All things matching...

As they should be.

So I thought I'd share a little Moda love that made our 4th of July even more memorable. 

Coordinating "scarppy" bottoms in Minick and Simpson's American Banner Rose woven cottons. I've been hoarding this fat quarter bundle long enough. Seriously heavenly and lightweight for the summer months.

The best way to celebrate? Go stitch something patriotic!
Happy 4th everyone!

You're a grand old flag

My daughter has been singing and humming that song for hours on end these last few weeks... 

It's driving me a little nuts.

On to important things...  

I have a new project to show you in time for you to make one for your 4th of July "table-scape" if you so chose. :) 

Easy peasy and festive stars and stripes from charms or scraps.

Available here and here.

Some little stuff

I've been entertaining myself with lots of little projects lately in addition to the larger stuff I'm working on.

The Heather Bailey pattern for pincushion/stuffed animals starting with the elephants:

Some old scraps elephants for a two year old birthday partygift.

Michael Miller Elephants for my little who.

I've got some more of these in the works.

I really really was terrible at making softies the first few times I tried.

So I quit trying.

Who knew that a pattern could help so much.

HAHAHAHA!

I rarely sew with patterns, but I learned my lesson on these...

Nostalgia hot pads.

Nostalgia Coasters.

Bar Harbor Coasters.

In the shop (except for the elephants).
