Chevrons and babies today...watermelons and babies last week...nope, not trying to drop any hints...no new babies in this house. Except this cute little fella who has kept me from accomplishing much of anything today. Meet Luke. His mom, my sister, is moving from Louisiana to Ohio and is out house hunting. Yay for a 4 hour drive! (we live in Indiana) Oma is watching Luke's older brothers, James and Andrew while I keep this peanut. Fortunately for me, Olivia just got home from school and she is a GREAT babysitter!! Hence, a couple minutes to pop in and say Hi!
We received a shipment of the newest colors of chevron plus some of the large size from Riley Blake this week and next week we'll get some from Timeless Treasures. If you haven't jumped on the chevron bandwagon yet, it's a wild ride!! ;)
New to the Riley Blake colors are Collegiate Chevrons. So far we have Purple and Gold for LSU and Crimson and White for Alabama. Stay tuned for more to come!
Well, must run, baby is calling! Whew, I am worn out! You forget what it takes when your own grow up. I'll try to remember to be thankful for my quiet time when they are all at school on Monday! ;)

The UPS man just left and take a look at what he brought me!
Is that some Amy I see in there you ask? Why, yes it is. And Martha? Yes! And Kaffe?!? Triple YES!!! So, my plans for the evening include listing lots of yummy fabric in the shop. Check often for new stuff because I'll be posting it every few minutes until it's all there! ;)
In the meantime, here's an actual photo of the Lime and Aqua collection, which is really lime and aqua and navy and grey! ;) Working on a new quilt from this little grouping...I will show it to you soon! It's looking promising!
Enjoy your evening, I will!

Just popping in for a sec to show you a fun collection I put together this afternoon. Working on ideas for samples to make for an upcoming quilt show and this is what I came up with. Maybe tomorrow when I have sunlight, i will take a real pic to show you. This collage was made from the computer swatch the fabric companies put on their websites. Sometimes the colors are a little truer with real photos. You can find this Fat Quarter collection here. Lime, aqua, grey, and navy...i like it! ;)

I have long been wanting to stock up on some Kaffe Fassett - y, Philip Jacobs - y type prints in the shop. They are so bright and exotic. Not at all the kind of thing I liked when I first started quilting. But, wow, they are gorgeous! I am definitely proof that our tastes change over time. I tend to like them best cut up in smaller pieces, so for me, they are perfect for quilting. You can check them out here.
And, the best part is...they are on SALE! Only $6.95/ yard!! What a deal!
So, in the spirit of trying new things, we are going to host our first ever giveaway!!! We are giving away a fat quarter of each fabric featured in the collage above.
If you would like a chance to win this collection of 9 fat quarters, you may enter two ways:
1) subscribe to this blog and leave a comment about how your fabric tastes have changed and/or
2) like us on Facebook and leave a comment about your favorite Fall activity
Winner will be announced on Mondday, October 15, 2012.
Happy Sewing and Good Luck,
Julie

Riley Blake has added a new line to their basics collections, Cotton Dots. They come in 3 sizes and lots of fun colors! Did I mention the colors coordinate with the chevrons?!? We have the gray and aqua small dots in stock in the shop.
Do you have a minute?? Click on over to the Riley Blake site here. Check out the colors and sizes. Then come back here and tell us in the comments section which ones you would like to see us carry in the shop.
These would be really cute in a project with polka dots and chevrons!
Happy Sewing,
