Yikes!

I can't believe I will soon have FOUR quilt tops waiting to be quilted! That's what happens when everyone decides to get married and have babies at once :o) Good thing I enjoy this. Here is the lovely newest fabric drying on the line...look familiar, Big G?

Baby Quilt Fabric

Loving the fat quarters for the next project drying in the breeze...they will turn into a Sparks baby quilt...of awesomeness!

I'm A Sewing Fiend!

It's been quite the quilt party (of me) around here this weekend. I'm trying to do as much as possible on neglected / in progress projects before I get a summer job. Today I finished up the quilt top for a spring patchwork that I started about two years ago! It's inspired by this lovely, much larger one at craftopia. Made from a combo of new fabric, old clothes and scraps...yum. Light isn't great, I'll have to get more photos outside in the sunshine.

Plus I used a lovely thrifted sheet (anyone else remember Rainbow Brite?) to make a hobo lunchbag for my roommate.
