Christmas-y State of Mind

 So it's almost April.  

We still have snow on the ground!  

That's living the high life in Idaho.  

So I can't help but think Christmas-y thoughts. 

Reds. 

Greens. 

Quilts.

 Mmmm. 

Never made a lone star quilt before.  

And yes, you guessed it. 

Now, I want to make dozens of them. 

Super easy. 

(with a good teacher.  Thank you Stitchy poo!!)

 

Once it's all quilted and gorgeous I'll let you in on the big reveal!!

Love that Henna Garden!! 

do. Good Stitches ~ April

 This is a stashbuster block from the 2nd Material Obsessions book. 

It's all about templates.  

I like getting back to my grandma roots every once in a while.  

Have I told you how much 

I love my flickr group, do. good stitches???

Um, yeah, I love it. 

Rachel is getting close to starting 

a new group, if you're interested. 

Alexander Henry Giveaway Day! Over

Update: Congrats to Patty D from NC!! #156

Great comments. I didn't know that many people liked mushrooms.

I like them, but not out of a can.

Since Patty likes the pixies, we'll have another not so random winner....

Madame Samm #32! I know she loves Halloween fabric.

Alexander Henry Fabrics has a couple of new lines out,

and they couldn't be more opposite.

First, we have...

little pixie fairies with magic wands,

aka Pocket Pixie,

a great pastel dandelion print and

orange polka dot mushrooms.

and then....

some Hocus Pocus

Lots of black cats

& black bats

And of course, there are witches, ghosts, coffins,

vampires, pumpkins....everyone is there.

Today's giveaway is a fat quarter set of Hocus Pocus or Pocket Pixie.

Both sets and yardage are available on etsy.

To enter the drawing, leave a comment about mushrooms.

Random drawing later tonight.

cookie cookie cookie, that's good enough for me

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

recipe by the Picky Palette

~

des keeps sending me recipes to try...

actually, fattening recipes

you'd think we were in a weight loss competition

or something (we're not).

These are pretty darn good.

They're like a meal.

The sneaky boy liked them too.

And the neighbors ...

it's good to share ... less for me.

I always want to have nice tall, big cookies,

never thought of putting something in the middle of them.

It helps.

Here's what I'd like to try next.

Bakerella's 14 layer cake.

C'mon, who wants to join me? !!

We can take our time & anticipate...

It will take me a month to get that many pans (see the recipe).

Let me know if you want to.

Congrats to Miss lorimu #84!

Enjoy the Grand Finale.

ooooh,

lots to choose from today.Some Moda pre-releases
(limited number of charms, jelly rolls, layer cakes, bundles)

available now on etsy.

It's so fun to see & hold what's coming out in the future.

In the shop, we try to always show each of the prints included in the packs. At least there's a little peek of them. It's nice to see what is actually in there, and what duplicates there are. For example, here's Strawberry Fields...

We have:

• Countdown to Christmas ~ Sweetwater

• Jovial ~ Basicgrey This pack surprised me the most. It's so pretty in person. The colors are wonderful, and there are words printed in the background on most of the prints.

• Flurry ~ Kate Spain

• Ready Set Snow ~ Me and My Sister

• Fa La La La La ~ French General

• Grace ~ 3 Sisters A Christmas line, but there aren't any holiday specific prints, just pretty florals.

• Grand Finale ~ Sandy Gervais

• Strawberry Fields ~ Fig Tree Quilts

• Lil' Rascals ~ Chloe's Closet

A little Christmas and holiday cheer.

Today's giveaway is a charm pack of your choice.

Much Ado About Nothing

That was my weekend...

running here, running there.

The girls were in the play, Much Ado About Nothing.

Shakespeare with a 1940's motif.

Here's Hero (aka Lizzie) with her father, Leonato.

And after her marriage to Claudio.

So how does Justin Bieber

get into all of this?

He's the 'face' of Friar Francis

with Bella being his voice.

Now I could say something about how,

that's perfect because he sounds like a girl....

Do you think I can

relate this to sewing?

~
Yes, I can.

Lizzie made the director a Little Wallet

with our only

theatrical fabric,

the Emperor's New Clothes.

And speaking of the theatre...

we're off to see this, finally.
