More Projects. I'm Insane.

Just HAD to go to Quiltz today with Cindy. Just HAD to.

Now I am the proud owner of this adorable fabric:


For some reason it reminds me of my great-grandmother Grover. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I saw it in the shop a few months ago and just loved it. The fact that it was still there today MEANT that I was supposed to have it. Right? I'm going to make it into an apron for myself. Cindy says I need to make it in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas when I cook up a storm...she's probably right. But in addition to all the OTHER handmade gifts I'm doing for Caralie and others this season, I've now also got this (as of today):


It's a charm pack of the new Me and My Sister Design's line Birdie. 42 squares of super cute fun. The colors remind me of an Easter basket: chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. I'm going to turn this thing into one of these:


A gathered skirt with jumbo rick-rack! (See a cute example here.) And I bought a fat quarter to go with it because I needed 6 more squares. So, with the left over fabric, I'm going to applique a flower or bird design on a white knit top to go with the skirt, Heather Bailey style. How cute is that?

WHEN am I going to do this you ask?

Uh, I don't know. What do you care? I'm living in my happy dream world at the moment and you can't bring me down!
