It's Been Awhile

You may have noticed that I didn't post anything this week. Sorry folks. Been kinda busy. We have 3 of the 5 quilts back from Kari the machine quilter and Leigh Ann and I are sewing on the binding - as you read this. The last 2 will be here on Monday. Everything is falling into place and (fingers crossed and salt thrown over shoulder) I hope to be ready to go to Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning.

Polly and I have had big news this week and we can't wait to spill it. But...... it won't be for a few weeks yet. Sorry, again. Keep watchin' this blog.........

Let's see what I CAN tell you. Amy Bradley has a new blog! We are adding it to the blogroll on the left. Stop by and say "Hey".

Also, I got a gift in the mail today!!!! Pam, of PamKittyMorning fame, is debuting a new purse pattern at Pittsburgh and she made me one. It is out of our new collection, Wiscasset. Isn't it great!!!! When I opened it (and went Ga-Ga over it) I noticed something. It made noise. Inside is a "PamKittyMorning" label and a tiny little cherry jingle bell. And yes, the tiny little cherry jingle bell has a teeny painted smiling face on it. That is Soooooo PamKittyMorning. Thanks Pam!This is the quilt I am binding right now. We are calling it Haberdashery. So, on this Mother's Day eve, I am finishing a quilt that screams "Father's Day." I will post the pattern pictures next week - so keep this one in mind for the men in your life.
I will leave you with this - a link for any Detroit Tiger Fan out there. The rest of you??? Just ignore me and my baseball mania. Ta Ta.

What a cute purse! So classic. And, the new quilt...my Dad would love one of those. Take care & have fun at Market for me. Sorry, I'm a Mariners fan, win or lose.

Wasn't that a great catch?! Can't wait to get down to the ball field. Oh...by the way, the quilt is great too! That new fabric line looks like one of your best yet. Have fun at market, Laurie!

Hey Laurie. My kids are big Tigers fans and I've been hearing about the catch. I'm so happy it was Granderson. What a great guy! Have a great week and lots of fun at Market.

I never get tired of seeing that catch! What a great series, too. We swept them. Granderson had another terrific catch in today's game. BTW, the quilt and bag are wonderful.

I'm dying over PKM's purse in your new fabric. What a great combo - Pam's purse + your fabric.

And don't be fooled by Pam's darling little dingle-cherries. It's actually a tracking devise.

I love the quilt too!

The PKM bag is so cute. The cherry jingle bell is great. Pam always finds the cutest things.

Gorgeous fabrics - love the quilt.

That is a darling purse! Love the fabric too...today I purchased a honey bun of Flag Day Farm, a charm pack and several pieces of yardage to make a log cabin quilt. It really looks so beautiful! Can't wait to hear your news...Pam in Chico
