Patterny Goodness

I got my fabric from Fresh-Squeezed (of "I have to say..."! It's Joel Dewberry's new "Modern Meadow". I was really excited when I saw this line, because...

Sofia wants a blue quilt. I suggested a nice turquoise blue. She said, "No, I want it like the colors on that sign." The LOWES sign. Great - my quilting dream come true. Royal blue and red. Could she come up with an uglier color scheme? I was thrilled that she was ok with the deep blues in this line.

The browns? We'll see. Wouldn't they make a nice baby boy quilt? Too flowery?


Randi threw in these charm squares! {Thanks!} I immediately cut them up for my 9-patch. You thought I forgot all about that quilt, didn't you?


I purchased this basket of clothes at Clash of the Titans...oh, I mean, while my family was watching Clash of the Titans. The littles made it through the first ten minutes, and then we retreated to Goodwill (before we all got kicked out of the theater).

Can you tell how I do my thrift store shopping? I walk down the eisle, looking for nice prints, preferrably in cotton. I pull it out...and hope it's in a size that fits someone.

Hmmm. This picture makes me want to make basket liners.


I'm almost done with the pillow, but the quilt I have to finish...


It's basted and rolled up in my room.
