Kid In A Candy Store

My friend Kathleen went to the International Quilt Festival in Houston and kindly stopped by Marcia Derce's booth to pick me up some fabric. I had previously bought some hand dyeds from her that I just love. Now she has a commercial line of fabric out that is just wonderful and is true to her hand made ones. It is truly fabulous - I am just giddy and have been drooling over it and re-arranging the colors/patterns into different combos. I don't know what I'm going to make, but it's going to be great.

Redwork Christmas Row Robin

I participated in a 'Christmas Row Robin' with some members of my quilt guild. We just had a party to reveal our rows and this is what I got! The top row is the one I made and I sent around the fabrics and the snowmen pattern to the others in the robin. I love how it turned out...now I just need to put it together and quilt it!

I've had the redwork pattern from Buttermilk Basin sitting around in my pile of patterns and I'm glad I used the pieces for this - or I may never have gotten it finished! All the finished robins will be displayed at our Guild's quilt show in March.
