Have you seen the new fabrics coming in May 2013 from Riley Blake Designs! My teenage daughter will love this line!  To see the entire line you can check it out at: HIPSTER

I've decided what my second Adrenal Cancer Quilt pattern will be!  I'm using the Atkinson Designs pattern "Four Square Farmhouse".  I have three blocks finished and so far it looks great!  This pattern is very fatquarter friendly and gives you options for sizes from baby to king size!  I'm making the Lap size that uses 20 fatquarters.  Pictures coming soon!

My new project!  I'm making two quilts to be auctioned or raffled (TBD) with all proceeds going to Adrenal Cancer Research at the University of Michigan.  I'm so excited to be part of this project!  Please contact me if you would like to make and donate a quilt to be included in the auction.  I am teamed up with Anna Rabe from www.OverComeACC.com.  I'm using the fabric line "Pieces of Hope" from Riley Blake fabrics, and when I thanked them for having such wonderful fabric, and told them what I was doing, they sent me a fatquarter bundle of Pieces of Hope! That's where the second quilt came into play!  Thank you again Riley Blake!! You are the best!  Here is a picture of the quilt top of quilt #1. This a pattern by Crazy Old Ladies.

Merry Christmas.  I'm working on the new quilt kit by Moda called Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille.  I purchased this kit from the www.fatquartershop.com one of my favorite online fabric stores.

I just saw this 241 bag  (Link) and it's very cute with vintage typewriters as the fabric!!!

241 Tote from Noodlehead! OMG!

I saw this Noodlehead bag on another blog and fell in love with it!  I just had to have this pattern and make this bag! It went together so easily, and the directions are in full color and very easy to follow!! I bought my fabric from http://www.hawthornethreads.com/ and really enjoyed sewing this one together.  My husband is a man of few words and hardly ever a compliment.  He saw this bag sitting on my sewing table and asked, "did you buy this one or make this one"? so I will take that as a compliment because it looked that good!!

Mondo Bag!

Wow! what a bag! this is my second Mondo bag! I love making these bags!!! they are fast and easy to make.  Using the quiltsmart pattern this bag goes together so easy.
