It went from cold to warm and back to COLD here with snow last night...Spring in VA is just CRAZY!!!!
I have been busy doing a lot of things and feel like I have done nothing at all! Don't you hate when that happens?
I did finally make something with my very first Viewmaster block. This is the very very first one, the one in the tutorial came a few versions after this one, it is the original. I have had it just sitting and doing nothing so I decided to make a little pillow with it. I think it is super cute other than the fact that sometimes when I see it out of the corner of my eye it looks a wee bit like a boob...maybe that is just me.
If you do make the Viewmaster block ( or any other project you make using one of my tutorials) please post it into my Flickr Group, I LOVE seeing your projects!!!!!
I was also able to finish the Aurifil Designer BOM by Jeni at In Color Order. It is call the Boxer and is very cool! I used Kate Spain Serenade and will be for the entire quilt.
Since it was snowing again, the kids were off from school so I dragged them to Downtown to walk around and get some energy out.
They were so thrilled :o)
We have a real old time pharmacy! The nicest people work there!!!!
that still makes rose water :o)
We saw this beautiful red door
Went to some antique shops and Adam found his favorite
and I found mine
Stopped into Hyperion for a coffee for me and hot chocolate and a muffin for the kids
some quick snuggles
and back to hoping winter will be a distant memory very soon!

Really?
Has it REALLY been a WEEK since I posted last! YIKES! I have been so busy with stuff and life, it seems like it was only yesterday or maybe day before yesterday :o)
The girlie has her stitches out and everyone has recovered from their illnesses so back to sewing I went!!!!
I had received some wonderful things in my mail this past week that put a stop to anything else I was woking on.
This is one of those things! Thomas Knauer has a new fabric line Frippery coming out at the end of this month and it is amazing!!!! He was kind enough to sen me some samples to play with...this photo is not enhanced...these ARE the colors! This was at my neighbors house in the perfect afternoon light...all I can say is...YUM!
I had already started a project earlier in the day before I received these in my box so by the end of Friday this is what my house looked like. Seriously, NO ROOM LEFT!
I had even taken over the tv room and then the kids decided to play what the little man calls Goldfish...ON MY CUTTING BOARD!!!!!! YIKES!!!!
Anyway, I was able to get back to sewing and knew it had to be BRIGHT AND BOLD like Thomas's personality :o) I used the great tutorial from the always wonderful Jeni at In Color Order and put my own twist on the inner star! I was able to complete this in two days, I HAD to get this completed. I am really in complete love with this quilt top and the new fabric line.
