Don’t you just love starting a new project? It feels like I haven’t started anything new in a long time, as even the most recent projects were in the hopper for a long time before they got done. So here I am, with three new stars.
One, a second commissioned baby quilt for my friend Danielle, the same one who wanted the blue & brown coin quilt:
Two, a quilt for my sister-in-law, who is long overdue to have one made for her. When I asked her what colors she wanted in her quilt, she simply said, “rainbow!” And rainbow, it shall be.
And three, a quick foray into holiday novelty fabrics. Normally not my cup of tea, but I have something special in mind for this charm pack of Spooktacular:
And finally, the most awesome news of all, I am taking a weekend all to myself and going to Amanda Jean’s retreat in Colorado! How frigging excited am I? Not only will it be great to meet Amanda Jean and learn some tips and tricks, as well as hang out with other quilt-minded folks, but I am simply beside myself with the prospect of three whole days to do my own thing. You know you’re a SAHM to twin two-year-olds when you’re this excited about a long plane ride to yourself.

Eeeek! That is so exciting! Wish I could go, too. That is a most wonderful weekend away.

A whole weekend away… that sounds heavenly! Maybe one of these days. Sigh.
On another note, I’ve visited my local quilt shop and looked into getting a sewing machine and starting some classes. The recommended (and of course sell) the Bernina 230 PE. Do you (or any of your quilting buddies) care to weigh in on that?
How cute are those owls and leaves??? Squeee!

Ooh, love the apples & owls! I keep putting those fabrics into my online shopping cart then removing then adding again. I can’t decide of I want it but I lie the direction you’re heading so I think I’ll go add it again!!
