My birthday!! It's not until the 17th, but Hubby's gift to me was some extra cash (more than our usual monthly hobby allowance) to take advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales.... and boy, did I take advantage!
There are Amy Butler solids, plus some of my favorite "Lotus" print... some Joel Dewberry "Deer Valley" to make a couple things, some Heather Bailey "Freshcut" to border and bind a quilt... some of my favorite Kaffe Fassett clouds (just because!), some GORGEOUS prints from Sandi Henderson's new "Meadowsweet" line, and last but not least- every print in the "Shade Garden" collection by Michelle Engel Bencsko!
In other news... I FINISHED THE TREE SKIRT!!! If you're one of my Twitter friends you got to follow the angst involved with quilting the thing... but I finally got it done, and bound it while watching all 5 hours of Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 Colin Firth version).
I'm very happy with it :)
It's also beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hubby spent a great deal of time trying to get the perfect picture... these were my favs of the dozens that he took.
I'm off to clean my sewing room now... I have a friend coming over to sew tomorrow and the place is a disaster!!

I loved the picture of your tree skirt drapped over your dog. It made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are wonderful. Good idea to take advantage of the sales too.
I love your big red bow on the tree. My mom also puts ribbon on her trees running vertically down the tree instead of horizontally around the tree.
