Today I ... Received Goodies in the Mail

I love receiving mail ... it just makes day!

But I especially love getting goodies in the mail ... 

Feast your eyes on this lovely stack of fabric that I just received!

Be still my heart!!!

What you see before you is 48 A fat quarters from Anna Maria Horner's Conservatory collection. I have all three color ways, Cinema, Cottage, and Hydrangea. I ordered these fabrics from fabric.com and was very pleasantly surprised that they were on sale. I'm still looking for the background fabric, backing fabric, and binding fabric needed for this quilt project but I'm getting there. 

A while back I decided I wanted to make another Shimmer quilt. The first one I made was from all of the Tula Pink fabrics that I had on hand. My daughter is now the proud owner of my first Shimmer quilt. The Shimmer pattern is by Allison of the blog Cluck Cluck Sew, you can find her pattern HERE

I have used several of Allison's patterns and I am never disappointed, the patterns are well written and easy to follow.

I've decided that this will be my fall 2019 / winter 2020 quilt project.

Today I ... Am Updating ...

On the weekend I took this project off of the design wall.

For a couple of reasons,

1. I'm still working out the sashing and design layout

and

2. I'm looking for more red fabric fat quarters, both solids and prints, variety is the spice of life

Added to my EPP project

I made a couple of pillows from orphaned red cross blocks.

And worked on these adorable Christmas Elves

My sewing room is absolutely my happy place! I'm not much of an outdoors person I suppose, but I'm especially not an outdoors person when it is hot outside. 

As summer has just begun here in the states, I find that I am longing more and more for 

the crisp evenings of fall. Cooler weather and shorter days.

Even though it is shaping up to be a hot hot hot summer, I am determined to 

LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND ENJOY EVERY OUNCE OF IT

in or out of my sewing room! 

:)

Happy Summer Everyone!
