    I love some of those lines from Just Wing. I didn't know it was out in yardage- I definitely want to pick some up. Happy Sunday Sewing!

    Oh, they are such pretty fabrics in some of my favourite colours- pink and turquoise! I can see why you couldn't resist them! And those buttons! They have a wonderful vintage feel to them.

    Love the fun little purchase. I used to work for a fabric store in California and it was the love of my life...I never made any money at that place...just turned it over into wonderful fabric!!

    Those fabrics and buttons are beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished pillow. I have a question. I noticed that a lot of your quilting is in fairly large stitches. I like the idea of hand-quilting, but haven't been able to master those teeny little stitches, so your method really appeals to me. Is that a new trend & what kind of thread do you use?
