so far this week…

I quilted something! I took your advice and started with the smallest quilt – this mini. In fact, I forgot to even add it to that long list of unfinished quilts, so I can’t even really check one off the list, but hey, it’s a start.

As a reward, I started a new one. I know. But I really wanted to sew something, and this pile was still sitting out so I went for it. It’s the perfect project – a little mindless sewing when I have a minute or two.

And a minute or two is all the time I seem to have, since all my other minutes are reserved for the two little ones!

Welcome Llama Fabrics! (+ giveaway!)

IMG_0328edited

I’m pleased to welcome another new sponsor, Llama Fabrics! This relatively new Etsy shop is run by Chio, a fabric lover and mom to two little ones. Chio opened her shop so that she’d be able to work from home and still spend time with her kids. I asked her how she picked the name and she says that she’s always loved llamas, and has a special memory of seeing them for the first time as a little girl on a family trip. (I have a soft spot for llamas too — one of my favorite quilt photo shoots was with a very friendly group of llamas!)

Llama Fabrics carries a great selection of new lines, many available as yardage or in convenient FQ, 1/2 yard, and full yard bundles. Fabric prices are among the best I’ve seen lately, and on top of that, they offer quick shipping – often shipping your order the very same day!

Clover Sunshine

Llama Fabrics just received the Clover Sunshine line from Alison Glass, and Chio is generously offering a fat quarter bundle of the entire line to one lucky commenter (this giveaway is open to all!). Please leave a comment here (one per person, please!) and I’ll select a winner late Sunday. I hope you’ll take some time to browse Llama Fabrics and think of them next time you’re doing some fabric shopping!

Update! Random.org selected comment #30, Jenny, who said “What a beautiful FQ bundle. One of my favorite color combo is Lilac/violet and mustard.” Congratulations Jenny! We hope you’ll love this bundle of Clover Sunshine!

A big thanks to you all for your great comments. Chio asked me to thank each and every one of your for leaving such wonderful comments and for taking the time to visit her new shop.

I made another…

I couldn’t resist! I thought that pretty warm autumn stack would be great as more flying geese, and of course I had to make sure I could recreate the original quilt!

(Add another to the unfinished list!)
