Not so long ago I was sent a selection of fabric swatches.....
how exciting!!!
This is Cosmic Burst by Mark Cesarik....for Freespirit.....
This line is full of saturated color and movement! I can just imagine these fabrics in a New York Beauty or even strategically cut for English Paper Piecing!
Mark's Cosmic Burst will be available in April! Woot!
A couple of weeks ago I finished a class at Sew To Speak....I love all the folks I am so fortunate to sew with...and this class was no exception. They made me soooo happy when they all decided to hand quilt their quilts.
Just check these out!
I **heart** Jennifer's log cabin variation.....she is an amazing quilter!
Then we have Jenny! With an adorable bow tie quilt....Jenny has been bitten by the quilting bug!!! Yay!
I love the stitching around the squares....so sweet!
Felisha is a new quilter! Never quilted before and had in mind a quilt for her daughter....
a wonky log cabin with lots of white to keep it fresh!

Felisha used lots of vintage fabrics, including vintage sheets! I just love it!
Rita used some wonderful Penguin and Fish fabric as a jumping off point.....and then placed her blocks on point to create a fun little girl quilt!
The colors in this quilt are fantastic...and the violet polka dot setting triangles are perfect!
And Peggy did this fun Star and Diamond quilt in fabulous vibrant colors!
Peggy used red cordorouy for the borders! So yummy!
Then hand quilted with a wonderful bold red....
I am hoping things will settle a bit in my life and I can actually accomplish a few things....I thought I had a block {Rose and Star} all finished and ready to show....but **sniff, sniff** when I pulled it out this morning I realized I don't have it finished at all. Oy!
As Spring is springing here in Ohio....
I am ready for the blooms about to pop up for a show....
My sweet friend April gave me a couple of blossoms that will keep me thinking of Spring all year long...
And - this little birdie told me that the re-released line of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt will be in the shoppe {Sew To Speak} very soon.....YAY!
Isn't this the best? Thank you so much Susan {Patchwork N Play} - you have helped me more than you know :)
Happy Sunday!
