Works in Progress

When I ran across this Glamping by Moda fabric in my Cotton Shop store last month I knew that this was a fabric for me. As a mother of four daughters I really love the "girly" fabrics out there.  This was purchased in mind for my 3 year old.

It is a basic four patch pattern that is lap quilt size.  It may be a little to big to replace my 3 year olds, drag everywhere, blankie, but we can always hope it that it works :)

For the past 7 years I have been on the DT for Storytellers scrapbooking club.  Yesterday I received the email I had known was coming for a long time, they sold the company and their kits are finished.

It's a very sad day.  I've been getting their scrapbook kits for 9 years.  Their discussion boards have been a big part of my life for that long.   On different occasions, I have met multiple women from the discussion boards.  Together we have talked through so many excitements to trials in life, that they are almost like family.  I hope we can stay in touch, but truthfully I know that it won't be easy.  

I guess I have been feeling like the company owners Jeff and Leslie did, scrapbooking has had a time and place and that it is ending.  They sold the company and I turned my creativity to quilting.  Hopefully I will still scrapbook my childrens childhoods because we all know how I have so many scrapbooking supplies.  

Last night I had to create this page just to use some more of one of their kits.  The pages were so easy and so fun to put together.  Bye!

Fabric find

The last few weeks while shopping for fabric I have learned to love the different Riley Blake and Moda fabric lines. Yesterday, during that super busy day, I happened to run into The Cotton Shop here in Provo. They were sharpening both of my ginger scissors and since I had Hailey with me I needed to stop by. Hailey is going to start making a 4 square quilt soon and I love their fabric lines so that's where we went to choose it from. Here is the type of quilt she is going to make:

The fabric is from the Adornit Owls Coral line.   I had never seen Adornit fabric before, they are a scrapbook company that makes paper and fabric to match.  Hailey and I both loved the colors and designs.  Here is a quick shot of the fabric.

My sister is expecting her baby really soon.  I already have her gift, but when I saw this flannel by Riley Blake, I had to get more!  Riley Blake is one of my all time favorite fabric designers as I have said before but I was set on not getting more fabric.  Yet, this fabric was so darling I couldn't say no!!! When I was in the store Thursday the bolt was brand new, Friday at noon it was almost gone showing how fast this fabric was going!  Here is a sneak peek:

Looks like I got a lot to keep me busy!!!
