5 this week.

Evidence of this week's sewing!  I cut into some AMH Field Study prints to test out a new bag idea.

I'm also working on a wintery quilt this week!  Lots of blues (including Lux metallics!), grays, and whites make for some pretty trimmings!  

I'm dreaming up my next quilt too, this time for fall!  I really want to make a Modern Maples quilt from Pretty in Patchwork: Holidays (you can see a photo of the quilt in the preview on amazon or in the Lark Crafts Sneak Peek).  Amanda is kind of a genius, and this quilt is just so pretty!

I put together a new blogger bundle at Pink Castle Fabrics yesterday with this quilt in mind!  It's called Uptown Autumn (since it has a lot of prints from Jay McCarroll's new line Center City, in the Uptown colorway).  And this week, you can buy it (or any other precuts or bundles) for 20% off with the code PRECUT20.

Now I'm just waiting for my book to arrive before I can get started!

In other news, Denyse Schmidt shared a link to my Chicopee feathers on her facebook page yesterday!  See it there on the left?  How cool is that?  I was pretty excited!

Also, thank you all for the comment love on my 10 tips for better blog photos post!  That post took a ton of time to write so I appreciate all of your sweet comments on it.  I hope it got you thinking about ways to improve your photos!

That's about it for today!  Hope you're all having a nice Thursday :)

8 Blogger Bundles!

So yesterday you heard all about my visit to Pink Castle Fabrics.  Today I'm sharing the blogger bundles I put together while I was there!

The first one is called Fabric Fiesta, and it's sitting on my cutting table just begging to be turned into a picnic quilt!  Maybe with some natural linen mixed in?

I took a few of the Maya prints by Leah Duncan and pulled in some basics to coordinate.  I love that dotty stripe print so much!

Next is Holly's Road Trip, which is a pretty perfect name don't you think?  The naming was all Brenda!

This one happened by accident while we were cutting the fabrics I had picked out to bring home.  The bolts were stacked up next to each other and I just couldn't resist.

The beginnings of a bundle for sure.  More wonky stars perhaps?  If only I had more time to sew!


Making these was so much fun, thanks Brenda for the opportunity!  Head over to Pink Castle Fabrics to pick up one for yourself if you're interested!
