(of Robots fame) and make something using some of his “Oh Boy!” collection.
I decided to go with something quick that would show-off individual prints
so I made a quick disappearing 9-patch. Love that pattern.
The kits will be available through them by next week.
A lovely holiday weekend (Martin Luther King/Civil Rights Day) here in the States. Today I spent the day finishing unpacking our craft room. Yes! I was so sick of boxes a while back and so ready to start sewing again after the move, that I made the space functional, but still had about 4 boxes (mostly of kid’s art supplies) left to go through. Today I finally did it. No more boxes!! Close to organization!! Maybe even close to photo worthy soon! 🙂 Also, I’ve been sucked into the book, The Hunger Games. It was close to a miracle that I forced myself to put the book down and get some work done.

January 19, 2010 at 9:46 amGreat quilt! And regarding the book – that's why I've switched to mainly books on my ipod. That way I don't have to put it down, even to make dinner!

January 19, 2010 at 9:57 amCute quilt. How lucky you are to get to make quilts for a quilt shop. After you finish that awesome book, take a breath, and then dive into Catching Fire because it rocks too.

January 19, 2010 at 7:53 pmYou'll be sucked into finishing "Catching Fire" too, when you decide to read it. Both books are intense and thought provoking. I really enjoyed both books.

January 19, 2010 at 9:08 pmOh I just ended up ignoring everything and everyone until I finished reading Hunger Games. I'm pretty sure I didn't even stop for lunch. 🙂

January 20, 2010 at 5:56 pmI love this! With a little guy I would like to make him something boyish – that's not ugly. These are cute – and he loves orange. I really want to do a disappearing nine patch too.
