Minny Muu has arrived!

When I first opened my etsy shop I really intended to sell my stash,

my quilt patterns and my book.

Then I started seeing some really great fabrics being released.

The temptation was just too much I guess and 

I started buying a bolt here and a bolt there.

Especially Japanese manufacturers because they were more difficult to

find at any local quilt shops.

Recently, Lecien released the new 2014 Minny Muu

fabric line.

I decided to buy the entire line of fabric.

I am completely smitten with it.

I loved the original Minny Muu and 

this line doesn't disappoint.

Similar color ranges, tiny flowers, animals and letters.

I have spent the entire weekend cutting fat quarters, fat eighths, 5" charms,

 2 1/2" squares and even set of 2 1/2" strips like a jelly roll.

Next task is designing a quilt or project to make with the line.

I am trying to decide if I should split it warm and cool colors or mix it all up.

I'll likely go with mixing it up.

I hope to post a finish soon!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day.

I'm a bit late posting today. 

Work was a bit intense.

We've had 2 birthdays in the last 4 days and so it's also been intense at home.

Typical days maybe? 

I haven't sewn in the last couple of days as my husband and I have decided to

"work" on the basement for 30 minutes a day.

We call the basement 'the last frontier' of organizing.

I really can't wait to finish the basement so I can get back to sewing!

Another Bunny

I haven't been the best blogger but I'm trying to change that.

I started this table runner at least 3-4 years ago.

I had it machine quilted and all it really needed was 

button and embroidery but I just couldn't find the time to finish it.

My Elly caught a glimpse of it while I was organizing my WIPs

and she demanded I finish it.

I'm very glad I did.

It's all ready for Easter this year.

Speaking of Easter, I found a really pretty wreath at Walmart that I couldn't pass up.

Isn't it pretty?

Which Way?

Last weekend I made a trip to my local quilt shop in Jeromesville, Ohio.

With the weather stinking lately I hadn't stopped in a few months.

I started to pick out fabric for a St. Patrick's Day green theme table runner.

I ended up with a lovely rainbow of floral fabrics and the

Which Way pattern by G.E. Designs.

I added several prints from my trip to Japan in January

to give it a more Spring twist and background Posie by Aneela Hoey.

Love this stack.

It's so happy.

This pattern was so easy and it only

took me about 2 hours to make the quilted top.

Binding took another hour.

I use the clover wonder clips for binding.

Now I want to make one for each season!

I liked the pattern so much I have some listed in my etsy shop.
