Fabric, Fabric & More Fabric

 

On Sunday afternoon I put in a request to Jennifer 

for some fun color blender fabrics to use in

upcoming projects.  On Tuesday morning

I found a nice fat package at my front door.

I was in total amazement that all this happened

so quickly.

Jot Dot ... my favorite blender fabric.

I wanted these specifically to use with the soft book panels.

When I cut the panels into blocks I like to border those

 blocks with fun colors to make them stand out.

Then today Fed-X made another drop off with this new

collection called Monster'ocity.

What's cool is the designer made the eyes 

glow-in-the-dark.

I'll be taking tomorrow off from the sewing room

so I'd like to wish everyone a grand and great Thanksgiving.

What's Finished & What's Started & What's New

 

Finished:  "A Trip to the Farm"

from Studio E Fabrics

There is leftover fabric from this line as well as a few others

so in between things I'll be making simple large block quilts.

Finished:  "Lettuce Makes Pea"

from Blank Quilting

Started:  Go-Go!

from Henry Glass Fabrics

Plus ... 

Just Received the new collection of 

soft book panels called

"Huggable & Loveable XIII"

from Studio E Fabrics

But first I have to start working with the

spring/Easter collections of fabric.  

Red, White & Derby

 

What Scott Donated

 

I reached out to Scott at Jaftex to see if he would be willing to 

donate some fabric to the guild holiday luncheon.

He said yes immediately and in 2 days I had a big and

heavy box sitting by my front door.

Dream Horses

In the box there were several collections of yardage.

I proceeded to cut those collection into bundles so 

more of the guild members had a chance of getting

some new fabric to work with.

14 bundles of fabric fun.

Coral Reef

Lettuce Make Peas

Timeless Linen Basics

Happy Hunting

Game On!

I'm going to wrap all the fabric bundles in holiday paper

to make this a little more festive.

Derby

 

I thought it was time Derby had a post dedicated

to him.  He is the sweetest and not to mention

the cutest westie in the world.

This is my favorite of all the  pictures of Derby.

I received a new collection of fabric today called

Go-Go ... I'll post pics soon.

Almost Finished Quilts

This was the last batch of fabric I received. When I opened the

package and saw it was kitty fabric I knew exactly what pattern

I wanted to use.

"Quilted Kitties"

from Henry Glass Fabrics

This is the kitty block pattern I used on both sides of the panel.

While this wasn't my favorite fabric I'm pretty

 happy with the way the quilt turned out.

...

This collection is called "Lettuce Make Pea"

from Blank Quilting

This collection is adorable.  I have several pieces

that didn't make it into this quilt so I'll be creating something else.

...

"Paw-sitively Awesome"

from Studio E Fabrics

Woof-woof this fabric line is for dog lovers!

The quilt patterns used are from a book I had.

Both are nice and I will use those pattern again in the future.

...

I have 3 more collections to work with.  

Next up will be 

"A Trip to the Farm" from Studio E Fabrics 

plus two collections that are Easter. 

Scrap Xmas Quilts + Another New Collection

 

The Santa panel I snagged off the free table at a guild meeting.

I've been wanting to make a stack of Xmas presents so I finally

did.  Still want to sew buttons on the boxes to make them

a little more fun.

Derby

Each year when I make the 100 stockings for the kids at

The Child's Haven I take the leftover fabric and cut

it into squares.  In an effort to use some of those squares

I decided to make scrap Xmas quilts for the ladies

at Derby's vets.  The office manager will hold a drawing

for anyone interested in having one.

I have 4 done and I'm going to try for a few more.

The staff there is great as well as all the vets.

"Quilted Kitties" arrived Fed-X today.  This particular line

will not be shipping to stores until January.  I'm going

to pull out the Missouri Star Quilting pattern for cat

blocks and place those blocks around the panel.

Between working with fabric, cleaning the house and getting stuff 

out for Xmas I'm pretty darn busy ... but in saying that 

I'm pretty darn happy!
