Fabric is a girls best friend.....


Forget diamonds, fabric is a girls best friend! OK so really I am just speaking for myself, and I do still like diamonds. I wanted to share some items I have around my home.....like this cute owl print. I purchased this for a gift for my sisters close friend Cindy. My sister has had a bunch of medical issues lately and just got out of the hospital. While in the hospital her friend came and spent most of the day, and even stayed with her a few nights because my mom could not. Cindy LOVES owls, so I decided I would make her some goodies for Christmas for being such a good friend to my sister. I am thinking of this Pattern HERE. I am toying with the idea of lining it with Muslin....We shall see I like to change my mind frequently.

Here are some recent pattern purchases. They are by Jess Goldman from Bananafana. They are the My Pennie Purse, and The Brooke Bag. Check out her blog she has some really great patterns for skirts, and quilts too.


Last but not least I wanted to share more of my quilt block for my first quilt. I have a lot more to do. I really enjoy making them...


I have had several more custom orders..YAY!! so I have been working on those. Along with Gifts I am giving this season, and craft fair goods. Oops, and gifts for my swap partners..I have 2 done. Needless to say i have been and will be a busy little bee the next few weeks. Hopefully I will buzz through all of the things I have to and want to get done. Wish me luck!

So thoughtful to make a gift for your sister's friend (I hope your sister is all better).
I love those blocks. They will make a great quilt.
