it's been awhile...

since i've
posted to
this little blog
 

of mine
mostly because i've
not had a minute to myself
for very good reasons
my sarah girlie
had a booth at the
national down syndrome convention
with her quilts
truly a dream come true
for both of us
last night i finally
had an evening
to turn on the music
and get creative
i had just the perfect
thing to work on
a miniature
it will be going
in the front window
next month
which is really
in two days
time sure does fly
when you're having fun

designs...

 
...and the sweetness
 of her heart

 like few do
how i adore you
 your newest
makes my
purpliest passion
so happy
the tranquil colors of
 sea glass
are so inspiring

birds & berries...

today was
one of
those days...
.
 
...that my mind and body
were craving
the motion of sitting
 at the machine
with the motor humming
it's a peaceful
and relaxing position
started a new
 project today
another schnibble
the newest
by lauren + jessi jung
a mother/daughter team
i seem to be partial to those
types of duos

one awesome year...

today
we
celebrated...
.

...one full year of
 jellen's
going from one
 tiny little design studio
with a small stash of
purple fabric
to
one not as tiny little house
with a larger stash of
purple fabric
how nice of moda
to send us
 amelia
on our
anniversary

red, brown, blue and green...

i don't really 
know
how to start ...
.
this post
but here goes
last week i left
jellen's house of fabric
for the very first time
to attend a meeting
at ohio state university
on the store blog
i wanted to carry a bag
not my usual black leather
rather a hand crafted creative one
as a show and tell of sorts
i chose one that i had
ordered off an etsy website
on a post i wrote
and so i wanted her to see
the one i carried
now why is this picture
in front of a fire truck
well at the close of the meeting
the alarms went off
likely the result of construction
in the basement
as the men got off the truck
i thanked them for all they do
the man walking out beside me
was impressed he said
he never heard someone
thank firefighters before
well i said
i have a thing for the men in blue
so he told me to turn around
and snapped my picture
so now i have a photo
of that great bag
for sandy to see
and another memory
of me with a big red

a passion for paisley...

i'm often asked
to pick a
favorite fabric...
.
i would never
be able to choose
just one
yet all the best
would likely be
a paisley
i just love them
the randomness
the swirls
the overlapping
and touching colors
the dots
this one from blush
by basicgrey
would be high on my list
i guess that's why it is the backing
on the lastest quilt

i salute you...

the brave
the mighty
the wounded

all who have served to protect
our freedom
without your sacrifices
we would not be the nation
to stitch in your honor
as a small way of saying
thank you

over the years

really enjoy...

a little green

favorite holidays

nearly failed...

geometry again
after
all these years...
.
thanks to polly & laurie
otherwise known as
i loved
the minute i saw it
orange, black and a spooky green
yet it was the purple
that got me of course
i thought i would give a try to
treats not tricks
a festive apron they designed
until i looked closer
seriously
84 triangles
times two
there were a few times i wished
to rename the pattern
putting tricks before treats
so i bribed myself with some
chocolate
and kept at it
paying closer attention to the angles
until mission accomplished
so many comments lately
i decided to make up some kits
available in the store
while supplies last
you may even spot me wearing it
out and about

charmed living topper...

a few weeks ago
i had the pleasure...
.
... of driving
out to madison ohio
while looking about
in the charming store
i discovered an adorable
table topper
a customer informed me
it was a pattern designed
by the store owner's daughter
sure enough
beth told me all about
rebecca and her patterns
this weekend
i stitched my own version
of charmed living topper
complete with a few mistakes
i really should read the directions
still i love how it looks
by deb strain for moda
just the perfect size
and colors for my favorite
time of the year
