Hello Everyone,

I having the best of days designing with Best of Days fabric from Henry Glass & Co.

The instant I opened the box of Henry Glass fabrics, I saw a fall design in my future.

Stayed tuned so you can see who lives inside the little pumpkins. I'm having fun in my role as Brand Ambassador. I have two projects in the works.....one more to go.

Baby Houses & Shopping from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would take a break from showing you pictures from the retreat. Instead, I'll show you what I've been doing over the past week.

I took out my quilting toolbox and started building houses.

Little itty bitty houses. The house itself is only 3" x 3". I've added oversized setting triangles to make the houses float. They aren't floating houseboats.....just adorable little houses that are stinkin' cute!

I spend more time selecting the fabrics than it takes me to make a house. When I start foundation paper piecing, I always have ...
