Sunday #17 Heather Bailey

I am a big Heather Bailey fan.  I have a lot of her fabrics from different lines in my stash.  Sew Lux Fabrics received some FQ bundles of her latest release, Up Parasol last week.  You know I got some happy mail!  Yay! Here are some pics:

I love the colors!  The bird prints are fabulous!  I love the flower prints, too.  

Some more happy mail brought me these:

 Nest fabric by Tula Pink.

And...

Some Freshcut by Heather Bailey!

Tomorrow, a sale at the Heather Bailey store starts with her classics being marked down anywhere from 15-40%.  Oh, you know this girl will be doing some shopping!

Linking up now with Quilts from the Attic.  What's in your stash?

Sunday Stash #15 - I am weak

Off the top of my head, there are a few fabric designers that top my list of must have:  Alison Glass, Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey, Kate Spain and Tula Pink.  Amy Butler is right up there, too.  So, of course, if a new line of fabric designed by one of the above comes out, this girl is right there with her credit card.  Because I am weak.  And a Fabricaholic.  I am okay with that.

Pretty Potent by Anna Maria Horner was released recently and you know what my latest stash is, don't you?  Quilt Home recently had a sale on AMH, a good one, but it is over now.  : (  Here is my latest stash:

Chamomile and Aloe Vera - Balm for the soul

Family Unit (LOVE!) and Echinacea

Eucalyptus and Thistle (Hmmm, the one Thistle looks a tad Halloweenish to me.  But I don't like thistles.  Been stung by them before.)

Primrose and Banner Days

I will admit that some of the prints are just okay, while there are others I just love.  After my Kate Spain Daydream adventure, I will be making a king size with the above and these two.

Steel and Black Essex Linen.  With this pattern.

(Pattern can be purchased here at 20% off for PDF:  Pink Chalk.)

This will be for our king size bed.  The pattern is simple and should come together fast. This goes towards my goal of a quilt for every bed in the house.  Seriously!  How can I claim to be a quilter and not have every bed in the house covered?!?  In reading this (which I copied directly from Quilt Home's site) I think this is appropriate for a quilt:  COLLECTION: Pretty Potent. In the Pretty Potent collection, Anna Maria drew inspiration specifically from plants and flowers that are often used for healing. While they possess properties to heal our physical bodies, the very beauty of the plants themselves seems intended to be a balm for the soul. Potent and pretty.

What's in your stash?  Linking up now with Molli Sparkles.

Super Bowl Sunday Stash #3

The Super Bowl of fabric destashing (and stashing!) is on Instagram #thegreatfabricdestash.  I am not sure if I love or hate the brain child that came up with this.   Just kidding, but seriously!

One of my all time fabric lines is Pop Garden/Bijoux by Heather Bailey.  I have quite the stash already.  I've made 5 quilts (one was doll sized), two crib mattress covers and chair pads from that line.  As you can see on my blog photo, my white kitty likes it, too.

When I saw this stash listed on #thegreatfabricdestash, it had to be mine!

The print right there in the center, oh yes!!  I have looked and looked but couldn't find.  And now I have it!  Bwaaahhaaaaaa!  (Um, fabric addict, maybe?)

In this stack that I got from Sara are a couple by Bonnie and Camille, Kate Spain (Verna) and the ones from Heather Bailey.  I already have a good sized stash of Heather Bailey.  I won't part with it.  Right now, I have no plans for it either.  I do take it out of the shelf and pet it from time to time.  (See above.)

Here is a pic of a quilt I made for my daughter on request about 2 1/2 years ago.  I made it before I had heard that curved piecing might be out of my league.  The quilting is my own done freehand on a Janome Horizon and a Project Runway Brother. 

No, not a Super Bowl fan.  I will watch the commercials, though.  I will be hand sewing binding on another quilt I finished while the game is on.

Happy Groundhog Day!  I've heard we'll have 6 more weeks of winter sewing here. Linking up to Molli Sparkles!

TGIF! The 13th?!?

I am so glad there is something called "Finish it up Friday" hosted by Crazy Mom Quilts!  It motivates me to get things done!

I don't know about you, but this past week has been absolute craziness!  I have been drinking too much coffee, trying to accomplish too many things at the same time, wrapping presents, shipping presents, wrapping more presents...work, oh yeah, that too.  Work has been insane as well.   Not to mention one of our doggies has had knee surgery (poor baby!) and has to be kept in a doggie kennel, carried outside to do her business, medicated 3 times a day.  Been falling in bed at 9ish dog tired (hah!). 

Enough of that!  Odds are at this time of year, most everyone is busy, busy, busy and don't need to spend time reading about my boring busy-ness.

So... pictures below of what I finished:

Doll Quilt and Pillow for my Granddaughter.  Stitched in the ditch with flannel backing and satin binding.

Hourglass pattern made with some of my Heather Bailey charm stash.

Hop Skip Jump BOM #7  (Caught up!)

One of the blocks for the Coastal Carolina Modern Quilt Guild Bee.  Made with the HSJ Block #7 pattern.

 



Pictures of the Winter's Stars quilt all washed and ready to go!  (It's been shipped and should arrive at it's destination today!)

 

Linking up now to Crazy Mom Quilts and to TGIFF!
