Molasses

My posse and I hopped.


We shopped.


Only a few photos made it to print. :)


Orange was in there air.


I've got a little something, something planned.


You'll probably see it in 2012.
It will be......orange.


Retreat is coming up this fall.
Spider Web Block exchange.


I'm thinking this red will be the "star" part.
Blue will be the first strip of the "hexagon".
Don't worry.

It will be fabulous.
You'll see it completed in 2016.


Unfortunately, (or fortunately) I didn't find any Japanese fabric until I was far over budget.
These pieces were just the tip of the iceberg of what I wanted.


Added to my collection of Minny Muu.
You will see that collection in a quilt sandwich of some kind
.....in 2020.

Ikea was the last stop.
The last drop of my money.
I bought wedding presents to last me through the summer.
Young love in Mormonville.
It's a beautiful thing, but it's EVERY weekend.
Had to grab a couple 'mini' bolts of this vibrant stuff!

I think it will make perfect quilts for kids!
I should have those done in 2009.
But I will manage somehow to push it in to 2010.

I just work that way.
Slow.
Like Molasses.

  1. FUN STUFF!! I'll bet it was so hard to stay under budget. I'm lovin' that stack of orange prints. I don't know why you think you are slow, you seem productive to me. Let's see something with that orange way before the end of this year. k??

  3. I am SOOOO bummed that I missed it! And I am so jealous that you have so many friends that LOVE fabric like you do! When people come to my house and see my sewing machine they say, "I didn't know people did that anymore!" What is this world coming to? ;0) Oh, and I love those Ikea prints-- I SOOO want some!

  11. At least you do it. I'm fighting color-choice paralysis. I have a few little stacks of fat quarters that are smiling kindly at me. Love all those darling prints, especially the mushroom one. It was so good to see you Sunday. I will make sure to visit next time I'm up to see the fam!
