I love the idea of british queues, everything neatly lined up, and this case fabric patiently waiting in line to be turned into quilts.
This is what I've been up to...
1. My Red Letter Day quilt for Fons and Porter is in the mail...such a relief! This fabric is so fun, and special (it doesn't hurt that my sweet daughter designed it); go get some fast if you haven't already!
2. Lizzy was here for
two minutes two days, it was too short, but I'm so glad she was here to celebrate her birthday...our day of beauty was grand! While all the pets were so happy to see our girl, Pinecone would like an explanation as to where Lizzy is, she doesn't understand this coming and going thing.
3. I'm taking a little detour from my quilts in solids, and I'm going to play with some fabulous Moda prints for a bit. I'm so excited about creating a quilt with Moda's newest 3 Sisters fabric...I love those florals so much...there is something so romantic about those fabrics.
As soon as that quilt is done, I'm going to create a quilt with Moda's new Authentic line by Sweetwater, I'm just crazy about this fabric. Any fabric with with type on it catches my eye instantly!
Well I'm off to start on my 3 Sisters quilt, I can't wait to share it with you, and tell you about a special encounter I had with a famous quilter in regards to this quilt. You know I don't have best track record for dealing with famous people, but I handled myself well, you'd be proud!
Jacquie and Kathleen your anniversary packages have been shipped...hopefully you either have them already, or will have them soon.
Cheers!
Cherri
Nice post.

Love all your quilts and energy every time you post. I'm inspired to get EQ6 from a previous post... but I love Pinecone! She's like my daughter's cat, Dolly. They are such creatures of habit.
