New Quilting Purchases!


I made an order from Fat Quarter Shop and received it yesterday. Yeah, I haven't bought any new fabric like this in a long time. I assure you that it was a heavily thought out process. Nothing was ordered without great thought as to what it would be used for. The kids are all excited about me making them a cupcake out of fabric from the above pictured book. The layout of the book is very cute and feminine. The projects inside are great for someone that might be holding a bridal shower, or a baby shower, or a birthday party for a dear friend.
I did order one splurge item. On the left is a grab bag of 30's fabric with a cute pattern. It also came with the tri-recs tools needed. Too bad I already have one set. I have noticed that people on quilt blogs like to do give aways, so maybe that is what I will do. If you would like to have your own set of tri-recs, leave a comment below and dependant upon the response, I will pick the friendliest quilter!


I love the fabric in these packs! I ordered almost everything from Michael Miller's Pod Posey line. Very bright and fun without being childish. I also really loved Lakehouse's pretty and feminine fabrics.

The fabric on the left is going to make some fabulous curtains and dresses for my girls and the pattern on the right is a full kit for the pattern shown. Too much fun and not enough time!

3rd times the charm!



I tried three different versions of the hourglass to go with the fabric in the 9-patches. First I tried a light green, then red, and then I finally gave in and went to a fabric store and bought the final winner. I think that it will work, even though my hope was to use up what I have.

It comes from a Marcus Brothers line, I really like their fabric, especially the blues and browns.

So now i just have to finish sewing all of the hourglass blocks, make a few more 9-patches and I will be ready to put them together! I am glad too, I have been making these blocks for days and I need a different project!
