Something exciting coming up soon!

I have some exciting news.   I will soon be offering some quilt kits on this website.  I also have something special in the works, but I can't share yet.  Here's a hint.  It's like having your very own piecing instructor come to your house and give you personalized instructions on how to construct a quilt top while teaching you essential skills for quiltmaking.  Be watching for an official announcement soon.

In the meantime I have a few things to share with you.   Have you ever heard of Quilters Hollow?  They are a terrific fabric store that I have been dealing with lately.  Here is the link to their Facebook page: Quilters Hollow .  They are also getting a brand new website on March 11th.  I will be sure to post a link to that as soon as it opens.

Here is what I've been working on this weekend.  I had to make 18- 12.5" squares out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics for a block swap.  They are definitely bright and colorful.  I think I've decided that I like the Kaffe Fassett fabric, but I want to partner it with something more subtle- like Kona cotton or Moda Blenders.    Here's the picture. You might want to grab some sunglasses before you look at it.



I've also been working on a cute little chevron quilt made of scraps.  I didn't piece the top, but I'm having a blast quilting it.  Here's a picture.



The quilting designs are borrowed from Kathy at Tamarack Shack.  She does phenomenal work. 

I hope everybody is warm and dry.  May your ice and snow melt soon and love warm your heart.
