I Sew Love Quilting

To Quilt Market to Quilt Market to buy everything I see

Not really, but I'm sure I will want to and this is my first trip to Quilt Market too. I have seen a few previews on some of the blogs I read, but I know there will be soooo much to see and remember. I will have to get my "Mission" from my boss and I know there will be somethings that I will miss. Come back soon to find out what I saw at Market.

Mothers Day Retreat

Do you live in the greater Seattle area? Need a relaxing getaway for Mothers Day or a gift for your mother?

Quilting & Sewing Retreat
May 6 - 8, 2011
* Special Guest - Laurie Shifrin *
Treat yourself, your mom or a loved one, to a relaxing, fun filled weekend of open sewing and quilting in the pristine setting of Beaver Valley in the Cascade Mountains. Spend the afternoon exploring tranquil ponds, bubbling creeks, and flower gardens. Or, enjoy a bit of shopping in the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth just minutes away. There’s something for everyone including all the time you need to get a few sewing projects done. Laurie has designed a block just for the retreat, that is beautiful.

• Door prizes, special goodies throughout the weekend

Tee Shirt Quilt

 
This is a commission quilt that I made for a music and drama graduate in 2010. It was fun to make.

My Fabric Monday

Have you ever used Spoonflower to design your own fabric? I tried it and here is the link, My Fabric ,if you would like to see it. This is my first attempt and I have not ordered a swatch yet to approve, so it can go up for sale, I will do that today and let you know how it turned out. I wonder if I can design a new fabric each week? If you would like to find out? Check in each week and see if I was successful or try it out for youself and tell me about it so I can see your creations.

Are you a fan of Joel Dewberry Fabrics?

If you are, you should see his new line "Aviary 2". There is just something about the Granite color way (vintage yellow, grey and black) that I like, except it does not match any color decor in my house and they are not colors that look good on me, so what should I make? A baby blanket to give as a gift, tote bag to carry when wearing black, hmmm. I will have to think for a while. See the fabrics here
