Hello! So much time has passed since my last blogpost because I've been rather busy with my family making our move from Los Angeles, California to our new home in Williamsburg, Virginia. Whew! All I can say is amazing. An amazing road trip... an amazing new house in a community that knocks my socks off... and an amazing transformation is currently underway turning our "new" house into a home. Home. What a wonderful thing!
As always, fun new projects are in the works, but I really wanted to show you the beautiful makes my friends took the time to sew for my Quilt Market "Playground" booth back in May. All of these items were made using strike-off fabric, and often times I gave the designers just the teeniest bits of scraps to work with, which makes their creations all the more impressive. I hope you like what you see, because (I'm happy to say) Playground is hitting shops right now!
