On Saturday, I finally received by Sewing Summit schedule!! I have been wanting to go to Sewing Summit ever since their first year, but this has been the only year that we've planned for it.

In addition to gearing up for Sewing Summit, I've done a bit of fabric shopping...
This is Tule by Leah Duncan for Art Gallery Fabrics. I must say, I am in love with this line. I wouldn't be surprised if I bought another bundle of it. I love each of these prints and I have no idea what I'm going to sew up with them! Maybe a Swoon quilt?
I have also embarked on a new addiction...
I'm gearing up to start goal #4: Start a Project Life, and I am so excited!! I love all these little things! Studio Calico did this awesome sale earlier this month that resulted in me signing up for Project Life kit subscription and I cannot wait for my next kit!
I'm also planning a couple of new quilts. I've mentioned previously that I've been collecting autumn-y fabrics for a Modern Maples quilt (found in the book Pretty in Patchwork Holidays). I am almost done collecting fabric, and I have a pretty good idea for what I want to use as the background. I'm hoping that I can get the rest of the fabric I need before Sewing Summit!
I've also been staring at this stack of fabric:
This is Boo Crew by Sweetwater and it needs to be a Halloween quilt. I'm not big on Halloween... It's sort of a passive holiday for me, but since I won this fabric... I might as well make a designated Halloween quilt! I'm thinking of something simple and I'm feeling highly influenced by this quilt.

Mmm, I just ordered a bunch of Tule too and am trying to decide what to do with it. So many great large scale prints. Your Project Life supplies look fun!
ReplyDeleteSooo I just found your blog and I'm wondering, do you sell your quilts??
ReplyDeleteHello Heidi! I do sell my quilts, but it is mostly on a made to order basis. Would you like to email me what you have in mind for a quilt? I'd certainly love to sew something up for you! Have a great day!
