Brooke Sellmann of Silly Mama Quilts

Had an opportunity to help with my VBF, Brooke at sillymamaquilts.com this spring doing a little assistance with her piece for Alison Glass.  Love Alison's fabrics!  I have both Alison's Lucky Penny and Field Day lines.

Here it is at Spring Market.  Great job Brooke!

Here is a wall hanging I made using Alison's Lucky Penny line.  I used linen for the background.  I love this wall hanging.  

Mark Your Calendar

Get Ready for a Blog Hop

Get ready for a Blog Hop starting July 23rd, featuring Gina Martin's Folk Art Holiday by Moda.  It is not too early to start thinking about Christmas projects.  Be sure to stop by and see what ideas we have to jump start your holiday sewing.  

Farmer's Wife

Some time back I started the Farmer's Wife blocks in my Fig Tree fabrics.  I got these 12 done then just sort of lost interest.  I hate to waste them, so I put this little wall hanging together with them and it hangs in my studio.

Shape of Spring Placemats

I purchased this fabric from The Intrepid Thread called Shape of Spring.  I thought it would make perfect placemats and a table runner.

Cut it Up

I really did not like this line (Simmerlove) once I purchased it.  I had half yards of ten pieces in the line.  It sat in the closet for a year at least.  I attended a Ricky Tims Seminar in January and decided to try his Convergence pattern.  I really like this.  I am now trying another similar idea with it.  Great idea on how to use something your not crazy about and turn it into something you love.

Baby Love

I purchased a pattern from Cotton Way a couple weeks ago, and cut some fabrics of several different fabric lines of Moda by Bonnie & Camille.  The first row is done, but I went ahead and cut the rest of the blocks pieces to audition them.  I think this lay out looks pretty good.  What do you think?
