    Downtime

    Jun 25, 2015

    Summer is in full swing over here at our house:
    Lol....keepin' it real.  We've been at beaches and parks every single day since school got out...but some days you just need to veg in your pajamas till 1 pm and let the kids have some screen time.  

    I've been working on a quilt for a my soon-to-arrive niece.  I added some neutral prints to the bright blocks at the top of this post...it's going to be bright!

    Speaking of bright...I'm going to cut into this lovely fabric today.  This was hands down one of my favorite lines at Quilt Market this year...Tucker Prairie by One Canoe Two for Moda.  These colors! I don't think yardage comes out until October?  Sigh...I guess I can be patient.

      Allison, I'm with you - waiting for new fabrics to come out is grueling. But always worth the wait when that package finally arrives. These colors are so perfect for a baby quilt - and I just got a baby shower invitation in the mail today. You've inspired me!

      All fabulous and inspiring! Those simple blocks look great in such saturated colors, and the new fabric jelly roll is rich too.

      Is the pattern for the quilt on the sofa with the boys in your shop? It looks pretty easy & I'm a newbie to quilting.

      That would be perfect for a bargello! I've been inspired to get back in the swing of things!

      Looks like a nice relaxing summer. I'm ready for full swing relaxation now that we're back from vacation, and I WISH I was spending it with some 1 Canoe 2 fabric. I've been a huge fan of theirs for years now and am so thrilled that they've joined the Moda family. :)

      Becky - that quilt is actually a free tutorial on my blog under the "tutorials" section...it's the star blocks. :)

      Glad to see I'm not the only mom in my pajamas at 1 PM! :-) Your baby quilt blocks are coming along nicely and that jelly roll is scrumptious!

      Hi Allison, I read your "5 Things to Know About Allison," on Ft. Worth Fabric Studio's blog. I love your quilts and have been reading your blog for a long time. You are the only other blogger who quilts, that I've met so far that loves reading anything financial. Love "The Wall Street Journal."

      Have a happy holiday weekend.
      Best,
      Anne Beier
