New Fabric and Quilt Exhibit

Here are the new fabrics I bought to make the quilt for Brian and Natalie. All the fabrics are part of Denise Schmidt's "Katie Jump Rope" collection except for the red polka dots. The picture of that swatch isn't the one I bought either, but I put it up so you can get the idea behind it. I like the retro feel of the fabric and I like that the colors are bright enough that its very modern looking at the same time. So, like I said, I just want to basically do blocks of each in a pattern and quilt something interesting over the top. I'll definitely keep you posted.



Jack and I went to the quilt exhibit at the Annex to the American Folk Art Museum to see the donated quilts that the museum just received. Here are pictures from two of my favorite quilts. You can go to http://www.folkartmuseum.org to see more! Jack and I had a lovely time AND the security guard insulted me while hitting on me!

we're back!

I don't know why I haven't posted anything- I've been sewing more than usual lately. I have lots of projects going, including a really super cute quilt for my cousin's little guy who is 3 years old & loves (LOVES) music. It's not your usual "kid" quilt, but I think he'll really like it.

Christmas is keeping me busy- I'm working on stockings, placemats, and a tree skirt. Also, I'm making the "Rabies Quilt" (from The Office) for my brother & sister in-law. I'm posting the picture from that episode so you know what I'm talking about. I think it'll give me something to shoot for! Plus I haven't taken pictures of my current projects yet. I'll do that soon- just wanted to actually post something before we hit the 2 month mark!

I was thinking of making my brother Mike the one w/the raccoon foaming at the mouth, and then Jeff's sister Jessica gets the bat. What do you think?
