Sewing like mad and nice things :-)

Oh crumbs. Is it getting big or what. I can't seem to stop. I had a good idea though. What do you think of this? The Crumbs on one side and the Crumbly Cabins on t'other. A reversible quilt.



Crumbs from my Table

Those blues have been glaring at me from their box so I'm going to stop making crumbs and start cutting. I've joined Tonya's Lazy Gal Summer Class to get me going and give me some inspiration. After all I can't sew crumbs forever LOL.

The postman arrived about half an hour ago.

From Nicolette

Wonder what's inside that box wrapped up in tissue paper.

Oh Wow - gorgeous beautiful dyed fabrics. Nicolette - thank you so so much. They are beautiful and I know exactly what I going to use those blues for.

From Nicolette 2

Wait! There's more under that tissue paper. Oh double wow!

Nicolette's Blocks

Nicolette, my dear dear friend, they are truly beautiful. Thank you so very very much.

I've got to get packing. I can't sit here all day chatting so I'll see you this time next week, or may be earlier. Who can tell *VBG*
