More Starry Goodness

The borders are on the I Spy Star quilt and it's all basted up and ready to quilt. I love how the border brings out the rainbow arrangement of the stars!

Speaking of stars, I started a Star Quilt Flickr group to showcase all the twinkling beauties that are being made out there in the quiltiverse. If you are reading this and like to make star quilts, too, head on over to Flickr and add your photos to the group!

We have so much in common!

I was just checking out an old post on Anna Maria Horner's blog... she's one of my absolute favorite fabric, quilting and sewing idols... and I realized we have have the same ironing board cover and brand of iron. OMG! I just need to switch out my ironing board cover, and then I can rock as much as Anna Maria. YES!

For the record, I am also obsessed with her Good Folks, Garden Party and Drawing Room fabrics, and her Socialite dress (it pulls on and has pockets!) When I grow up, I hope I can be as awesome as she is!

Squish Squish

One of my favorite things is getting packages of fabric in the mail. But that wasn't why I ordered from Sew Mama Sew the other night. Maybe it was the fabulous sale on some of my favorite Denyse Schmidt fabrics... or maybe it was the wine I drank before sitting down at the computer just to "look" at some fabric for "inspiration"... In any case, it was certainly worth it, don't you think?

I love opening up a squishy package and seeing all the lovely colors and prints together. These may end up in a quilt all together... if I can spend a little less time looking at fabric and more time sewing!

Seeing Stars

I started playing with wonky stars after finding out my neighbor is expecting a baby. I'm excited for this little baby quilt, which will combine some of my favorite quilt elements into one: wonkiness, stars, rainbows, and scraps. Fun!

Snowball Stained Glass

I finished my Bright Snowballs quilt top, and hung it all aglow in front of the window...

Lovely, isn't it? I even used up a bunch of strings piecing the middle border!

I keep waffling on whether I should gift it or keep it, though...
