L'Amour

The end of a long imprisonment.

Fabric jailed away for years waiting.

Waiting for the moment when it finally gets center stage.

And something happens in minutes! 

Okay, maybe hours. 

But it seems so much happier now.

One honeybun of L'Amour by Sandy Gervais for Moda. One wire wreath. Valentine rag wreath.

Love the texture and colors. And it even says love on it. 

In the shop. 

Hello Fall

HELLO fall! 

Even in Houston we've been enjoying some cooler (not exactly cool) temperatures and subsequently the great outdoors. 

But I have squeezed in a little stitching time. 

As everyone should.

Seriously lovely fabrics that NEED to be decorating someone's house this fall... 

Super skinny strip coasters.

Random echo straight line quilting.

A few gorgeous gourds. 

Autumnal awesomeness. 

Actually my house has been decorated for fall/halloween/thanksgiving for weeks. 

Might have jumped the gun a little on that one.

And my first rag wreath!

These could be a very addictive thing.

Like possibly more addictive than Candy Crush...

Possibly.

I hope you are enjoying the season too! 

Both are in the shop. 

Frosted Quilt Pattern

Have you seen these?

I stumbled across them while searching for snowflake quilts making sure the name wasn't already taken. 

Amazing, huh?

Now available here.

Sooo sleepy. Must sleep. Now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Blitzen.

The weather here has been rainy.

Well, that's an understatement. 

Houston has been experiencing some flooding and we've been stuck inside all week.

I'm happy to report that the sun finally made an appearance today and I have photos of my newest quilt! 

In Blitzen by BasicGrey for Moda.

I started thinking balls and ended up thinking wreaths and then needed snowflakes.

The design for this one was very organic.

Snowflake applique.

I chose the red binding and grey paisley large print for borders. 

I'm still wondering if I should have done red borders... these decisions always make me just want both. 

Houston is much too green today. 

Winter almost isn't fathomable. 

Whole quilt. 

See that little mushroom in the corner?

And all of the ones just above the quilt in the background? 

Houston has been attacked. 

There are more mushrooms than people right now!

It's in the shop. 

Moda's Deb Strain's Nature's Gift Runner

...like the "mother's sister's friend's baby thing.

haha, yes, I just made myself laugh.

I'm just that dorky.

Little Christmas wreaths applique and patchwork table topper.

I really liked the "formal" look of it but the hubs said he thought it was just "okay."

Since when does he get a "real" opinion????

Good thing it doesn't bother me. lol.

This gorgeous fabric line is Nature's Gift by Deb Strain for Moda.

Anyway, it's in the shop as well.
