We are off to a new year over
at the bees knees.
I'm so excited to participate with such an amazing group of girls! July is my month to mail out fabric and a pattern for everyone to piece. I choose Camille's Swoon blocks and have mailed out fat quarters from Fly A Kite.
I have been saving this fat quarter bundle for a year. Woody purchased it for me as a "retirement gift". After over 13 years of homeschooling our children, our youngest entered the local high school.
There are a couple more reasons why this fabric is so dear to me ... the little boy and little girl remind me of our children and I have a very sentimental momma's heart! wink.
Also, I have been known to walk around our home (on many occasions) singing, "let's go fly a kite" from Mary Poppins. Like "you are my sunshine", this is an endearing family tune I would sing to our young children. So you can probably see just why I am so excited to have such a special quilt made using my special fabric, by such dear ladies! Thank you!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Those fabrics are the sweetest!! Looking forward to seeing you beautiful quilt!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for your swoon quilt. That's the next pattern I want to use but I'm having such a hard time deciding on the fabric. Too many choices!!
ReplyDeletePerfect choice for your Swoon. And I love Mary Poppins, too!
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics are so sweet. I know just how you feel about the little boy and girl in the fabric. I tend to do that as well. Oh gosh Mary Poppins is one of my favorites. The Swoon pattern is going to be so cute with these fabrics.

I have enjoyed this paper line for ever, and to see it in fabric warms my heart. Your quilt will be a wonderful tribute to your many years of homeschooling!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics...And love Mary Poppins...Each year I take my students outside on the playground to fly kites. I teach Students With Disabilities in grades 3-6. Congratulations on your dedication to Homeschooling.
