saturday.

Happy Saturday!  I hope you are having a nice weekend!  Our weather has taken a very pleasant turn.  Woody and I had our coffee on the porch this morning while listening to birds singing in our trees and watching a couple bunnies scampering about in our yard.  We have a full propane cylinder and will be grilling our lunch today!  Yay! 

I have two more barn blocks completed.  These are my favorite so far.  I am leaving the additional sashing off the last 8 blocks we will make, so I have the option in layout, since I am incorporating blue barns into the mix.

I took advantage of a dry warm day, and got two more of my chairs painted. 

I still have a bookcase to prime and paint and then my sewing room furniture make overs are done.  Yay!

While perusing the magazine isle at Walmart, I came upon this!

The link to my Moda Bake Shop tutorial made it into publication!  Oh my goodness! I was so excited, I considered grabbing the elderly man, next to me, who was reading a hunting magazine, and saying, "look, isn't this so neat?"  However, I decided against it.  wink.  Instead I took pictures with my phone and emailed it to my family and a dear friend.  

Since quilt market is over, I can now share one of my secret projects.  Yay!  I pieced this amazing quilt, designed by Kimberly Jolly, using Greatest Hits by Windham Fabrics.  The pattern is called Gallery of Stars and will be available as a kit in September.  

 

Here are a couple of the pictures I took before mailing out for quilting.  It was such a fun pattern to sew!!
