patty young dandelion up close

This is a close up of the wonderful Patty Young fabric I won! Can't wait to use it...

And the winner is...


me! I won the January True Up (www.trueup.net) fabric giveaway and received five beautiful half-yard cuts of Patty Young's new Flora and Fauna line. Check out these lovely dandelion beauties. I really love Patty Young's designs, especially Mezzanine (my favorite), which I used for one of the first quilts I made (well, I made two simultaneously for my daughters and they are still just quilt tops...) So happy and grateful! I don't know what I'll use this fabric for. Maybe more wristlets? Any suggestions?

hiatus


Things have been so busy at work, so I haven't been as active here as I would have liked. I've also been away from my lovely sewing desk, alas! I did manage in the last month to make a puffy skirt from Joanna Grimalva's Edith Twirl Skirt pattern (http://www.fabritopia.com/edith-twirl-skirt-pdf-sewing-pattern-instructions.html). This one looks so cute in the photo, but I've been disappointed both times I've made it. It's a bit too puffy. But I do love the fabric my daughter chose! She has very hip tastes and loves to dress like a rocker. Go girl!
