Kate Spain swap

Michelle at Quilts from my crayon box hosted a Kate Spain Charm swap.  Now I have never been one to really follow fabric lines.  I started sewing with fabric from Jo-Ann's, and had never heard of lines of fabric, I just found stuff I liked.  I am still just finding fabrics I like, even if they aren't the same line.

I thought this would be a way for me to kind of see what some lines look like.  Wowsers did I fall in love with some fabrics!! I wish I could have bought more of some of them.  But I am enjoying playing with them.

What I am starting with are these little 9 patches.  I thought it would be a good way to kind of show case the fabrics.  I am using Kona Bone with them, I thought it would be a good neutral and NOT white!!

I only have about 20 9 patches done.  This will kind of be a leader/ender project as I work on other things.

Sewpocolypse 2014 day 3

I had a great time sewing the past three days. 

For a project I'm working on (that I can't share just yet) I had to trim some HST (half square triangles). I have about 1/3 of the top put together, but I ran out of red!! I will get more when it's thawed out a little. 

Mini nine patches!! Whoa buddy were those a lot of work!!

And I've been working on bits and pieces of the Celtic solstice mystery. 

I would sew a bunch then take a break and press a bunch :)

It's been awesome!!!

*EDITED TO ADD*

I just found out that I get another day!!!  Woohoo!!!!
