Less than a week ago I ordered Heather Bailey fat quarters from elinor peace bailey's store on ebay. It turns out that she is her mom-in-law. The service was awesome and anyone who can ship to Hawaii in 6 days is pretty awesome. I have 23 fat quarters in the Butter Rose colorway from Pop Garden. I needed yes needed to order them since my apartment is big and beige. I have white walls and white (laminated) bedroom furniture and very light sage carpeting. It is dull. It needed something. So I think that a queen size bed quilt is in order. It is a necessity since some nights are chilly!!!
I was looking for something kind of faded and "vintagey" but decided on happy and cheery instead. I am using a Turning Twenty layout and so far so good. I have now sewn the first two rows. I heart it when there are very few seams to match up. I want to make it a bit larger so now I need to get a few yards of one of the patterns as a border.
It was a full moon last night and the students were a horror today. Thankfully I do not teach alone! Pain is better when it is shared. Looking at the blocks is helping. I am forbidden from sewing tonight since I have to work on my nephew's Valentine's Day Gift. I am crocheting a monkey from Amigurumi! Super Happy Crochet CUTE by Elisabeth Doherty. This is my first Amigurumi so I hope it goes smoothly. I do not think that he will have it before Valentine's Day but oh well. I have already finished three crocheted strawberry purses for the girls. They are cute. Well, back to work.
