newFABRIC!

Woo-Hoo! The new Dr. Suess fabric is here. Don't know what I will make with the patterns just yet.
I will have to hang it on the design wall and look at it for a few days! I am sure something will come to mind...

marketBAGS

The new Market Bags are in at Fancy Stitches Custom Embroidery so everybody in the family had to have one. They fold flat for easy storage and the handles are removable so you can throw the bag in the wash.
( If you are interested in ordering leave me a comment on the blog and I will send you product information and order form. The large Market Bag is 30.95 with up to 12 letters custom embroidered on your bag.)

Great for my TI trip next month!

Lucy finished her latest quilt titled Red, Black and White. The pattern was a challenge but she figured it out and the quilt is lovely.

DELIVERED

The Cross and Crown quilt is in Baton Rouge safe and sound.

Shela received her quilt Friday via UPS in one piece, thank goodness. As you can see it is already on her bed and she is thrilled with it.
3 1/2 months of work but it was well worth it.

quiltUPDATE

The Cross and Crown quilt is back from the longarm shop.
As you can see the Elegant Feathers pattern is lovely and really brings our quilt to life.
The embroidery from Cindy is perfect in color and design for our borders. Shela is thrilled.
This is Jody, our longarm princess from A Needle Runs Through It longarm shop in Maidens, Va. We trust Jody to do all of our longarm work and help with our quilting patterns decisions. Somehow she always knows just what to use to make our quilts beautiful!
Jody suggested a silk batting for the quilt since my Cousin lives down south in the heat and humidity of Louisiana. Silk will breathe and is lighter weight wise than cotton batting. I love the feel and loft of the silk and would highly recommend it.
Yes, I know you all want a picture showing the entire quilt. I have to wait for the army to show up to help hold it up, it is huge!
