Fun Mail Arrives!

The wheels are spinning with the new (to me) addition of Aunt Grace Friends Around the World!

FUN MAIL IS THE BEST!!!

Readers may remember some of the Dear Jane blocks done

in a few of these fabrics. 

{You'll find a few more are at G13, 100th Post & 5 Triangles}.

I had the hardest time finding the whole

set since they've been out of print for a while.

I have been searching for some of the pieces for a very long time...

including 2 trips to see Judie & Bob Rothermel's shop 

at the International Quilt Festival.

I have such a soft spot for Judie's fabrics. 

She's still my favorite designer

{and I'm beginning to think she always will be}.

Hmmm. Now I'm thinking about Jane again. 

Maybe this winter I'll pick it back up again.

Happy Sewing,

Heather

A Little Bit o' Christmas

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been 

getting the house ready for Christmas.

The garland is up, new wreaths adorn the front doors,

the big tree & kids tree are both up...

The kids even did their own decorating this year 

{lights and all!}. 

*Proud mama moment*

They did a fantastic job and didn't argue once.

_______________________________________

We're having a bit of work done on the house...

Our schedule seems a little off

-and to complicate things-

I managed to injure myself pretty well this week...

so sewing will be at bare minimum the next few weeks

while I'm on the mend amid the chaos of construction.

HaPpY NeWs:

I found new (to me) vintage glass ornaments online

and am having a blast opening some fun mail. 

My tiny collection from last year has grown 

enough to make the move to the big tree, leaving the 

garland in need of some new finds, too!

The ornament hunt will 

should keep me out of trouble.

;o)

All my best,

Heather

Cats & Mice

Another Kaffe block to add to the design board. 

It's a fun one!

Homeward Bound

Blue block {fwqal #48} called Homeward Bound is up on the design board. 

The song by the same name is still running through my mind. 

You can't go wrong with a little Simon & Garfunkel.

piece.

Hovering Birds Complete

Happy Halloween!

One block quickly pieced before heading out the door on a busy day. 

It feels great to add another Kaffe block to the mix.

For those of you following the FWQAL, it's 'Hovering Birds'.

Happy Sewing {and trick-or-treating},

Heather
