A few new fabric lines...

 "Down to Earth" by Buggy Barn.  Check out their free pattern download at "redroosterfabrics.com"
I love the rich fall tones.






 The panel looks like it has been embroidered in Blackwork but it is ready to sew.


I hope it goes together as quickly as it looks!
 This is a new fun line from Windham Fabrics, 
"Ciao Bella".
 The Market tote pattern is also a free download.
 Moda's "Milk Cow Kitchen"


 And here, at last, is "Crabapple Hill Studio Meg Hawkey's "Aunt Ruthie's Farm Stand".  The panel is designed to be embellished with embroidery.  There is also a free download for this pattern at "redroosterfabrics.com".  I really need to get a few projects finished up so I can get started on some of these fun new ones!





a few new samples...

 Art to Heart has designed this wonderful banner in her new Christmas Book
 "Christmas Pure and Simple". 
 I think it will look awesome
 on my front door!
These cats are from Cottonwood Designs.  Jill Riley made the samples for me while I was off playing with my extended family in Leavenworth celebrating my mother's 80th birthday.  Thanks, Jill! 
The Fall Stitchery and the wool pumpkin pillow are new samples from Sara at "Blueberry Backroads".  The sample below is also one of Sara's designs.
 I have been working on all sorts and varieties of baby bibs, all from Vanilla House Designs.  Here is one of the "Dude" bibs
 And "Binky Baby" elephant.  Great way to keep track of baby's binky!




This is the puppy version.
 Mr. Businessman and










Another "Dude" bib.

 I have been playing with the new iron on, water soluble hexies from Hugs 'n Kisses.  I think this will be a pillow.

And here is another Mr. Businessman bib.  Tonight I am finishing some "Diva Bibs".

some new samples...

 This is the center of a jelly roll quilt "Hexagon Garden"  using 3 Sisters Fabrics and below is a table runner from "This and That" using the same fabric lines' pre-cut Hexagons.  Loving the pre-cuts!
 And here is a finished sample from "Red Button Company".  Just a little stitching and some buttons make it come alive.
 This is a new fabric line and pattern from "Elm Creek" by Jennifer Chiavianni. So sweet!
 Bloomin' Minds always comes up with some amusing wall hangings.  This is one of my favorites!
 This is from Art to Heart's "Table Please" book.  Carrie Strong made this table runner sample for me.  Happy!
 And here are some pictures of some new stitcheries by Wellington House Designs. 
 I absolutely LOVE them. 
 I want to be sitting in this chair. 
                              Maybe after Shop Hop...
 This is a sample of her black work.
 I have just begun stitching another of her designs called "Among the Pines".  Delightful!



Here is a picture of a small candle mat from "Fig Tree Quilts"  made with candies from the new
 Bunny Hill Christmas Fabric Line.
 And here is another sample from
 "The Red Button Company".  
"Snowman Garland" was made using some of the
beautiful new red and cream Christmas fabric line from Bird Brain Designs.
 I started working on "Snow Flurries" from Crabapple Hill a while ago and I finally got it finished.  Oops, I didn't get the picture turned but you can still see how really beautiful it is.  I used "In The Beginning Fabrics" and after it was traced, colored and stitched I added the beadwork.  It was SOOO much fun!
 Here are a few shots of some of the 
beaded snowflakes


There are kits for almost all of the projects I have posted here.  Stop in and pick out a new project!


 And last, but not least, is a new wool sample made by Marcia Mulder.  Thanks, Marcia! 
 It turned out so cute!
Now it is time to put the finishing touches on our Shop Hop preparation.  Sure hope you can make it.  Folktales finished block is on the previous post.  If you have the opportunity to participate in Shop Hop remember to drive carefully and have FUN!

fun new samples from Folktales...

 Here is Folktales Shop Hop Block for June 2014.  The top photo is a picture of the stitchery traced and colored with Crayola Color Crayons. 
 The bottom picture is a photo of the finished embroidered block.
 This is a new quilt I made for my future son-in-law.  He loves bowling.  And he loves snuggling up with a flannel quilt.  And he loves my beautiful daughter.  He is a brave and blessed man!  And I want to be his favorite mother-in-law!
 This is from the "Sew Jelly Roll Quilts and Gifts" book.  It takes one printed jelly roll, one solid jelly roll, and borders and backings.  It is queen size.  I decided to redecorate the guest room.  Now I have some painting to do.  Hmmm...







Another fun applique towel-this one for Halloween.  Sometimes it get's confusing around here...what season are we in?



new samples at Folktales

 Wellington House Designs has let us borrow a few of her samples.  These are photos of a larger quilt called "Northwoods Memories".  The pattern with all 12 stitcheries is $30.00.
 "Camper Sweet Camper" is a new towel applique pattern.  How Cute!
 This is another sample from Wellington House Designs.  "Baltimore Blackwork".  The pattern is $20.00
 "Christmas Wheels" from Bunny Hill is DONE!  Here is a close-up shot of some of the blocks.

 Okay, it only took me a year, but I finally got some of Bonnie Sullivan's flannel panel sewn into wallhangings.  And it was so easy...what took me so long?

A new flirty apron-just for fun!


 This is the newest fabric line from Jennifer Chiavianni.  So pretty!  and a quick and easy quilt to make.
