New Addiction: The Fat Quarter Shop

So as most of you know...I have an addiction.

That addiction is fabric. In fact, I used to laugh when people said that they loved just to feel fabric. I would think "That's CRAZY!" But now...I completely get it!

I was reading a blog the other day and they were having a giveaway from The Fat Quarter Shop. Well, I started to browse and much to my surprise they had a lot of fabric that I liked. Still some of it was a bit out my price range, but who doesn't like to dream. Anyway, some of my favorite pieces are:

The Orange Mr. Monopoly fabric

(which comes in many different colors! Yay!)

The Brambleberry Ridge Turquoise Knots and Loops 

(So pretty)

30's playtime Betty's Pink Cherries

(I have seen this is on a blog where the lady made hankies out of it. Again, super cute!)

Hope you enjoyed feeding the addiction. What are some of your favorite pieces??

Mom's Quilt

I just wanted to share a quilt that I have finished. I made it for my mother. She really likes Sun Bonnet Sue so I decided that the perfect gift would be a quilt with Sun Bonnet Sue on it. I made it out of yellows and oranges and then had it quilted by a lady in Boise. On the back is a vintage sheet that found at a thrift store in my mother's home town. I hope you enjoy it as much as my mother and I do.

This is my favorite Sun Bonnet Sue! I choose to make all the characters have different skin tones. My mom really like that!

 This is a picture of the binding. I decided to use a decorative stitch.

This is what the back of the quilt looks like

 I used a vintage sheet for the backing.
