Snippets Honey Bun

My last post included a photo of a Snippets Honey Bun which I've recently cut into tiny little pieces. I really didn't want to cut it, but I was sure it wouldn't turn into a quilt by itself! I added some white background fabric, and here's the beginning of my new quilt.Don't you love these fabrics? The blocks will be rearranged as more are added. I'll post more pictures later as it grows.

Hope you've had a good weekend

The Most Beautiful Mail I Ever Received

Look what was in the mail when I got home! It's a postcard from Ingrid. She painted it, sewed it, wrote a note on the back, and mailed it! Is that cool or what? She's such a sweetheart. By the way, she has a newly-designed blog. You can visit her here.

I've been staring at the cutest little bundle of happy fabric for days now, trying to decide what to do with it. It's a Snippets Honey Bun by American Jane. I thought if I stared at it long enough, something would come to me. But it didn't. Until I unrolled it. Unrolling a Honey Bun is a little like cutting into a new piece of fabric. It's almost painful for a second or two. But when I laid out the strips next to each other, I knew exactly what to do with it. You'll have to come back later to see how it works out -- it's all in my head right now!
Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day!
