Out and In

I didn't end up going to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show after all this year.  Last year Molly dropped everything to go with me, and this year I had the opportunity to do something for her, so I chose to do that instead.  And everything just seemed to work out for the best, as these things often do.  It helped me get a little more done at home, organize fabric and projects, and catch up on some bee blocks.  These blocks are all going out this week:

36 patches in Hope Valley



Wonky Stars -- large and small -- in Modern Meadow

Improv block in Love + Kona Cotton Solids


Modified nine patches -- scrappy

It feels great to get all caught up!  It gives me time to admire some of the fabric that has come in this month:

Tufted Tweets fat quarters (purchased from fabricshoppe on Etsy)

Dream On charm squares (from aSundayGirl on 
Etsy)

FMF (from 2ndAveStudio on Etsy)

OOP Amy Butler fat quarters + a few extras (from Shareesalchemy on Etsy)
Thanks to Terri for her link and Flickr mail: "jump on this."
I did!

With wishes, true and kind -- Joan

  4. Love your bee blocks. Those wonky stars are quite awesome! Nice to be caught up. I am two months behind in my Bee. I can't believe you actually found some Flea Market Fancy fabrics - I'm so jealous! I never ended up getting one piece of that collection.
