full (moon) weekend

 

Wasn't the moon just awesome this weekend???  I didn't actually get any pics of it, but it was so bright, the image is burned into my mind.

This weekend, we took the pop up down to Buena Vista and camped on the Ark River.  Lenny kayaked with some friends, and I got a few new blocks prepared for my workshop in a couple of weeks.

My L-man

 

Here's the gang at the put in, and on the river.

It was kind of eerie seeing the river without ice or snow this early, but the powers that be decided to do an early release of water from the dams since they're expecting the water levels to be high this year due to the level of snow pack in the mountains.  This is going to be an awesome year for kayaking in the Rockies!

And would you look at this fab furniture at the take out?  It's all tiles, and the floor lamp even has bulbs in it!  Pretty cool!

 

And would you look at this??  Lauree made this doll quilt top out of the asterisk in the funky peppermint table runner pattern!

 

Isn't it awesome??  I'm in love with her gray background and linen combo!!

I hope you all had a fab weekend, and make sure to check back on Wednesday for the Saral Project tutorial and giveaway!!

wrap it up bag pattern!!

 

Whew!  It's here, it's here!!

 

After numerous requests, I put my head down and finished the wrap it up bag pattern and it's now in my etsy! 

And because of the process, mama's got a new bag!

 

 

The outside fabric is modern meadow and the snap strap is a button fabric by Suzuko Koseki.  The inside fabric is orange swirly buds from an old Heather Bailey line.

Mama loves her new bag, and now you can make one just like it!  Horay!

 

I heart you!!

 

Each and every one of you!!! 

Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to comment and share your lives with me!  I enjoy reading each and every one of them and although I don't always respond, just know that you've touched my heart. 

 

 

And here's just a sneek peek of my latest WIP.  This is the first time for me to make a quilt from someone else's design.  And I'm totally smitten.  The pattern is curlicue by Chasing Cottons.  Isn't it the bomb???

 

Ok, ok.  I know what you all reeeeally came here for today, and so here it is, the winner of the fq's from The Fabric Quarter and the skillet handle pattern is:

 #80!-  Rachel-  Who said, "Thanks for such a great giveaway! The fabrics are beautiful. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Congratulations Rachel!  I'll be contacting you via email to get your address (unless of course, you read this and beat me to it!!)
