Fat Quarter Shop Star Crossed

 

I have been admiring the beauty of

Fresh Cut by Basic Grey fabrics.

They have such a sweet vintage

feels to them.

 

I have been debating what to

use these beauties on.

 

Then the Fat Quarter Shop recently released a new pattern

 called Star Crossed based on an

antique quilt they loved.

 

I thought that the pattern

fit the beautiful fabrics.

 

 

I was going to make a pretty little

lap quilt to have in my

living room to cuddle up with

during the cold winter months.

 

But, I started putting the blocks

together and absolutely fell

in love with the scrappy

stars.

 

 

 

 

Now, I have plans now to make this into

a queen sized quilt. 

I would have loved to have it

all pieced together,

but life sometimes

has different plans.



 

I can't wait to have this

beauty all finished and

gracing my bed.




The Star Crossed pattern gives you the sizes to make a

Lap, Twin, Queen or King size.

 



You can purchase the pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop by clicking here.

Be sure to check out these blogger

today to see the other amazing projects

being made with the Star Crossed pattern.

Getting Closer

Not a whole lot of

sewing has been going on

at my home.

 

I have been crocheting the evenings away

on my Sophie.

 

 

I just finished Part 11.

I have 6 more parts to complete

on her.

 

We had about 10 inches of snow

on Mother's Day,

(Although you would never know it now)

so the grass has really greened up

around the house.


My Sophie looks quite a bit different
now than in this picture,
so does the grass.

 



 

I'll probably show her off next

after she is all finished up.

You can find the pattern for this

at Look At What I Made.

 

I have to get cutting on these

beautiful fabrics

 

 

 

Just LOVE Fresh Cut. 

I have big plans for these pretty little posies.

A New Adventure!!

I decided  a little over a week ago
to start on a new adventure.
A very exciting adventure.

Here is my little secret. 

 

 I am joining an amazing line-up
of  talented ladies. 
You can meet them all at

Meet Our Designers page.

 

I had to share the pic for the Designer page

 that my sweet daughter took.

We both were laughing so hard, 

that I was surprised I could use any of the pictures.

(I should have shown you the outtakes.)

 

 

I decided to join Therm-o-Web because
I have used their
products on such huge variety
of my quilting projects.

 

 I am always using
the HeatnBond Lite for
applique.

I am really looking forward to playing
with one of their newer products, iCraft Deco Foils.  They
add a little bling to your projects.

 Therm-O-Web
is having a giveaway.

They look like so much fun. 


Go stop by Therm-O-Web and put you name in!!
