Putting some new fabric to work


Trying a couple of patterns for a 9" block in "1930's" prints.




And then playing with a "convergence" method (a la Ricky Tims) using some sale fabric. This is a really fun process. I think it will be great with fabric with lots of movement.

My own "shop hop"


















































I visited 5 different fabric shops this past week, from Sister Bay, WI to Paris, IL. I've got some projects in mind for some of the fabrics.

I picked up the red and yellow fabric for a 1930's block...

and the bright floral foursome for a Ricky Tims convergence quilt.

Now to make time to get something started!

Cutest little quilt

The innkeeper at the bed and breakfast that we stayed in is a remarkable decorator/artist/quilter. This is just one example of her beautiful work.
