Oops!

I realized I forgot to share pictures of the Spider Web quilt after I finished quilting it.  This is definitely one of the brightest quilts I've ever made -- you know, being such a "brown" person. 

I always thought a Spider Web quilt would be difficult to piece, but Marit has made it painless.  To see her tutorial for a foundationless block, click here.   I made smaller blocks for this quilt, but I'll be making the 12" block next.  Can't stop at one, right?  This one will soon be on its way to Bumble Beans, Inc.'s BASICS Quilt Gather.

I haven't gotten very far with my Jelly Rolls.  I unrolled them and added them to my stash of strips, and they're still waiting for me.  I like to stack the strips individually and put them in clear shoebox-size storage containers.  It's easy to pull them out and "audition" them wiith other fabrics.  I'm sure you've noticed how some of the fabric designers will incorporate a color or two from an older fabric line into a new one.  I really love it when they do.  Combining the new and old prints makes the quilt more interesting.  

Hope you've had a good weekend!

Kim

The date of my last post causes me alarm. Where did all those days go? I'm pretty sure I need a vacation. I really love my job -- I just wish I didn't have to go there so often. :-)

A few weeks ago, Stephanie celebrated some really good news by having a Pattern Palooza.  Her patterns had been picked up by a wholesale company.  I won the entire collection of her patterns!  I had to snap a picture of the wrapping -- too pretty. 

And here are the patterns.  Some of the coolest bags I've ever seen!

You can pick up all of these patterns at Stephanie's Estsy shop here.  Some are even available in .pdf format in case you want to get started today! 

When I opened the package, the first thing I noticed (besides how pretty all the projects are) is the quality of the pattern covers.  The photographs are amazing.  Even the backs of the patterns are unique and appealing.  See?

I can't wait to make one (or all!) of these bags.  It's difficult to decide which one to make first, though.  Saturday Market?  Oak Park?  I'll share pictures of my progress as soon as I make a decision.  :-)

Thank you so much, Stephanie!  And congratulations to you on your well-deserved success!
