Nido is looking especially lovely these days – filled with great fabrics and quilts! If you live in the Burlington area, or are visiting for the annual Vermont Quilt Festival, I hope you’ll stop by to take a look this weekend! The artist reception is tonight, from 5:30 – 7:30, and the quilts will remain hanging through the weekend.
And for those who can’t make it, I hope to have a chance to list a few quilts in the shop next week.
Happy Friday!
If you’re anything like me, you may have tried to figure out a way to turn your hobby into a real job. I certainly put in enough time, but unfortunately the pay doesn’t reflect that! Ah, not complaining — just my lead up to say that when I came across a job opening with a great fabric manufacturer, I certainly wished that I lived in the area so that I could apply!
I thought I’d post the description here though, just in case one of you is lucky enough to live in the area and be looking for a job in this industry —

Of course, if you do apply, maybe don’t mention it to me – I’ll just be envious! 🙂
Thanks for all the great comments on my last quilt! It’s fun to hear from so many of you – I know it’s hard to take the time to leave comments on blog posts (I tend to read posts on my phone and even though I tag those I want to come back to comment on, I rarely find the time to do so), but I do enjoy hearing your thoughts!
Anyway, on to the winner… out of 400 comments, random.org selected #396! That’s Carla G who said, “What a fabulous quilt!! And the colors are awesome! Thanks for a chance to win! 
” I’ll email you shortly Carla!
And, just to add a bit of color to this otherwise drab post, here’s a little peek at my latest finish – a juicy and bright Echino patchwork baby quilt. Regardless of how many Echino patchwork quilts I’ve made in the past, I always love digging through my stash and pulling together fun colors and prints. The Echino here is paired with lots of Cotton Couture solids in corals, pinks and a bit of brown, along with a little neutral linen. I was quite happy to discover the perfect variegated thread, which adds a little something special. This one is also headed over to Nido for this weekend’s show!
