Naughty or Nice????

I was very naughty, but it's so nice! Hawthorne Threads just got in the new Valori Wells fabric line Kavavan.

How could I resist these elephants??? They're approx. 8" x 10"

This fabric "accidentally" jumped into my cart! I just love those lobsters.

I do have plans for the elephants, a queen sized quilt for one of my step-daughters. Do you think Santa will bring me presents or a lump of coal???

WIP Wednesday #5: Fabric Therapy

What a crazy week! My big, fancy machine broke last Wednesday night! Ugh! Now, I do have a back-up machine that is pretty nice, but the harp space and embroidery is limited.

Baby Lock Esante

So to soothe my nerves, since there is a 3 week backlog to get my Ellegante back, I decided that maybe a little fabric therapy was in order. I have been eying Valori Wells Wrenly since it came out. I just had to get some, so I bought a couple of charm packs.

I have a baby quilt I need to make for a friend due in March. I was thinking about pairing it with some of my hand-dyed fabric.

I thought that the green/blue color way would look good with the dyed fabric, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I like the reds and pinks with it. Okay, I feel better now!

I still got a fair bit accomplished this week, since my friend Jean came to my rescue and let me embroider 17 Christmas stocking cuffs and several other projects on her machine.

So the stats for the week:

In-process: (6)
Hip to be Square FMQ sampler (still at 14 out of 30 blocks quilted)
