Hexy quilt-a-long
Well .. I have noticed and really liked some of the hexagon goings on out there, and I have joined a quilt along:
I am scared of committment : ) but I am going to give it my best. I have a couple of other works in progress - so hopefully I am not going to run away screaming.

My very first fabric swap
I participated in my very first fabric swap. It was co-ordinated by Jo at A bit of this and a bit of that.
The theme of the swap was montessori based. The plan was to focus on a specific county/region, and then send a traditional and a modern fabric from that region. Even though I am not involved in montessori, I thought = why not? I can give this a try. I wasn't sure what to expect, but let me tell you, I will so be doing this again!!
Here are some pictures of what was sent my way:
I am going to be keeping my eye out for more swaps!

Done ...
Not done blogging, although you would think that was the case based on how often I am here. I won't make excuses, cause it's not like there are a lot of folks out there following me, wondering where on earth I am ...
Anyway, that's not what this was suppossed to be about. I have finsihed the zig zag quilt. Actually, I finished it about two weeks ago, and it has been keeping me warm on the couch since then.
Here it is :
And here are some close ups:
You can see in the close ups that I still haven't trimmed all the threads .. and it is covered in dog/cat hair. Sorry about that : )
This quilt started as a gift for a baby ... and then my son claimed it (can't really say I blame him), and we have all been snuggling under it on the couch since then. I used a high loft batting, and minkee on the back. It is dreamy.
Now, I have to make another one for the baby ...
Off to work, have a great day!!

Heather Ross is selling fabric on spoonflower
I was reading through Heather Ross`s blog and she has fabric for sale on spoonflower. I know it`s expensive, but you can`t find it anywhere without paying an arm and a leg ... so I thought I would share just in case someone has some extra $$ lying around.
Denyse Schmidt should do this with her free market fancy line ... someone should tell her ...
