Has it really been that long?

It was never my intention to take such a long break from here.  I've been working on a big project, while still working at what Sinta calls my "big-girl job."  The days turned into weeks, the weeks into months, and people began e-mailing to ask, "Where are you?!!"  Thank you so much to all of you who have e-mailed or called.  If I haven't responded to your e-mail yet or haven't visited you to see what you've been up to, it won't be long, I promise.  Things are almost back to normal, or at least as normal as things can get.

I'm working on class sample blocks this weekend for the Quilt Symposium of Alabama next week.  If you're there, please stop by for a visit.  I'm dying to check out the quilt show.  

And when I get back, I'll give you an update on my progress with these.

And maybe my plans for this little fat eight bundle of Lucy's Crab Shack.  Such perfect beachy prints by Sweetwater.  I'm smitten with the tiny T-shirts.  

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Fat Quarter Shop's Scrap-Basket Sensations Quilt Club

Have you been to The Fat Quarter Shop's blog, The Jolly Jabber today?  I'm "visiting" over there today, so hop on over to see what's going on.  Kimberly has paired patterns from my book, Scrap-Basket Sensations, with unbelievably gorgeous Moda Jelly Rolls.  As a club member, you'll receive a complete kit every quarter that includes fabrics for the top, border and binding!  There's also a separate club for the backing fabric.  I know you'll love the Jelly Rolls Kimberly has chosen for each of the kits.  Here's the kit that will ship in August -- Picnic made with the Hometown collection by Sweetwater.  

And in November, you'll receive the kit for Flowers for Nana Girl made with Butterscotch and Roses by Fig Tree & Co.

Kimberly is generously giving away five copies of Scrap-Basket Sensations, so go on over now to find out how you can win a copy.  And just for the fun of it, I'll be giving away a signed copy of the book here -- just leave a comment here and tell me your favorite thing (or four or five) about The Fat Quarter Shop.  

See you at The Jolly Jabber!

Oh, My! Again

So did you visit Sinta?  If you did, you know that she made the first sample quilt for

Fat Quarter Shop's Scrap-Basket Sensations Quilt Club using the pattern for Picnic along with Hometown fabrics by Sweetwater.  What you may not know is that Kimberly enjoyed your sweet comments and has decided to give away five more copies of the book!

The drawing will be on June 1, so scoot on over if you haven't entered. 

I spent a little time in my playroom this weekend working with my bag of strings.

And trimming a few triangles.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
