lately.

well folks, i'm back from quilt market and officially rested up (i think!). talk about five fun filled days! if you ever get the chance to travel to Kansas City, i highly recommend it. the weather was perfect, the people were friendly, the food was great, and the Power and Light District rocks -- seriously! now that i've had a few days to get back into the swing of things, i can't wait to share what's been going on lately!

241 Tote Pattern from Noodlehead.

first things first, i need to choose two winners for the 241 Tote Pattern giveaway. the winners are: #6 Katie B. and #45 Jodi-usairdoll -- congrats, ladies! thanks again to Anna from Noodlehead for sponsoring this great pattern giveaway!

i just need to sew a few more linen hexagons onto this HST+hexagon mini quilt. i've really enjoyed the process of hand-piecing this little mini -- even if it is slow and time consuming! call me crazy, but i'm thinking i might tackle a Spring Carnival paper pieced project next. Katy just makes them look so stinking fabulous!

scraps, scraps, scraps!

scraps, scraps, scraps! my scrap tub has been bursting at the seams for a while now so this morning i decided to tackle the issue. rainbow scraps + mason jars = yummy. the only problem is this didn't even make a dent in the scrap stash, yikes! thanks to Michelle for the great scrap organization idea!

and finally, here are some more pictures from Quilt Market!

  7. I <3 your hexagons! I've never done half hexies but I think I should give them a go! That hipster deer is so awesome, I'd bet he's wearing a cardigan too!
