Flea Market Fancy Freaks


I am so glad that Free Spirit is considering a reprint of Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy. I love this line! I have a few bits left but there are so many colors and prints that I wish I still had. I did catch on to this when it was out and had quite the stash at one point. Then I saw Valori Wells' pattern Yard Sale from her book "Simple Start Stunning Finish" and I knew that I had to make it! So here is my big Flea Market Fancy project! I really need to get a better picture of this one soon!

Nine Patch Quilt Along



I recently started my first quilt along with Amanda Jean of crazymomquilts. I love the inspiration quilt and making one nine patch a day seems easy enough. I have 29 done so far! Not quite one a day but pretty close! I love being able to pull from my scraps and finally use them! I have also been using fat quarters to keep up the variety but I am going to have to start using each fabric more than once. I kinda thought that I would have enough to avoid that, but no such luck!

Welcome to my first post!

Welcome to sew la di do! I can't believe how long I have thought about starting a blog and here it is. I actually am at a loss for words now that I have it set up! At least I found a picture of an adorable quilt that I recently finished to show off. It is Valori Well's Urban Flannels in a pattern that I made up, just a brick path pattern with a big piece of the beautiful rose print. Now I have to figure out what to post about tomorrow! : )
