Jacquie has come up with a good one and I'm IN. Check it out at her <a href="http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2010/07/quilters-butt-and-improv-challenge.html">blog</a>. <br /><br />This challenge is an easy one...I'm a huge addict of the runner's high. (Aka, the endorphins produced and released from exercise.) Running is a part of my life already, but this will motivate me to go further and push myself longer. <br /><br />Thanks, Jacquie!<br /><br /><a href="http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2010/07/quilters-butt-and-improv-challenge.html" title="Improv(E) Your Butt Button by Jacquie G, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4829448666_47e75cc324_m.jpg" width="173" height="240" alt="Improv(E) Your Butt Button" /></a>Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-73088683887390707592010-07-29T22:09:00.001-07:002010-07-29T22:11:08.538-07:00made me smile<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/TFJeyPFrecI/AAAAAAAAAXg/p9k5kivvjWI/s1600/IMG_0110.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I've been distracted by Life, but am in desperate need to spend some time creating and dreaming. Fortunately, I made the wise decision to join an online quilting bee in August. Doris, from <a href="http://threadsofconversation.blogspot.com/"target="_blank">Threads of Conversation</a>, has been kind enough to organize and lead our group. She's a kind woman and I'm grateful for her invite.<br /><br />The group is called <a href="http://oneblockover.blogspot.com/"target="_blank">One Block Over</a> and our first featured quilter is Michele of <a href="http://calicodaisy.blogspot.com/"target="_blank">Calico Daisy</a>. <br /><br />....it's a new start to a new year and loads of new projects.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-12220065513454105902009-08-18T08:49:00.000-07:002009-08-18T09:09:15.043-07:00size matters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SorQmJ4wKuI/AAAAAAAAAVM/zFQgoAwWZfs/s1600-h/IMG_4740.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SorQmJ4wKuI/AAAAAAAAAVM/zFQgoAwWZfs/s320/IMG_4740.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371334859500301026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SorQm7BJURI/AAAAAAAAAVU/J8uCwPJWv6k/s1600-h/IMG_4749.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SorQm7BJURI/AAAAAAAAAVU/J8uCwPJWv6k/s320/IMG_4749.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371334872688840978" /></a><br />He asked, "Why is it so small?"<br />My answer, "because I just wanted to try something new."<br />"But I can't snuggle with it..."<br />He wants to snuggle, I guess I'm a lucky girl.

They're so cute and easy that I'm thinking of changing the measurements and making a roll for my make-up brushes. I could use it when traveling.

My beach house quilt will rest on his crusty old-man armchair that he's destined to own. It will be used for our grandkids when they visit. It may even keep my legs warm when we watch the sun set. <br /><br />I'm 32, so I have years to complete it, but I just can't wait. I started it last night and am hoping to finish it soon. <br /><br />My inspiration came from <a href="http://kristenunraveled.blogspot.com/search/label/Quilting"target="_blank">this</a> quilt. I've admired it for quite some time. I visit the picture often, waiting for the right fabric. Lately I've been on a mermaid kick. <br /><br />The tutorial for curved piecing came from <a href="http://www.dioramarama.com/2009/02/tutorial_easy_pieced.html"target="_blank">this</a> site. It was my first time using freezer paper for quilting. It's awesome and easy. My only additional tip would be to allow the fabric and freezer paper to cool completely, prior to removing the freezer paper from the block. Also, when the tutorial says to use MORE glue......use MORE glue.<br /><br />Inhale....can't you just smell the salt air?Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-76576133280217768852009-07-16T08:33:00.000-07:002009-07-16T09:43:14.650-07:00california is awesome<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sl9Ol9AbBuI/AAAAAAAAAS0/QDunh9_P-9g/s1600-h/IMG_3469_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sl9Ol9AbBuI/AAAAAAAAAS0/QDunh9_P-9g/s320/IMG_3469_2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359088495532639970" /></a><br />While in Kauai I had a moment, just a moment, of homesickness. In that short moment I realized how lucky I am to have spent my entire life in California. Even better, my kids are going to grow up in California too and it's my job to make them appreciate every day of it. True, I've had those thoughts, while on trips in other places, considering moving to other states, but California's bright sun and mild winters are my comfort zone. <br /><br />Every year I promise to my girls that we will head to the beach as much as possible during their summer break. Then, we find ourselves running to and fro soccer practices, pool parties, movie theatres and never step on the sand quite as much as intended. This has been the year for us. I've taken every possible opportunity to make the drive to different beaches along Southern California, discovering new places that I've never been to. It has become an obsession for me. I will sink my toes in the sand of every beach along my part of California at some point in my life. I will know California and embrace my home state.<br /> <br />Summer of 2009 hasn't been a productive one for me, in terms of creating. My sewing machine is only getting use on occasion, but my skin is a golden tan and my hair is lighter. My boogie boards still have sand on them and I've been researching different surf classes for my girls and I.<br /><br />Enjoy Summer. Find local parks to walk in and plan camping trips. Become a tourist in your city. Pick up pamphlets and see your state through the eyes of someone else. Teach your children about their local lakes and beaches. Love your home.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-42127368431623155162009-07-07T18:42:00.000-07:002009-07-07T19:10:54.220-07:00kauai, part 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9fSGe7kI/AAAAAAAAASs/yktn4Xm3sRQ/s1600-h/IMG_4020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9fSGe7kI/AAAAAAAAASs/yktn4Xm3sRQ/s320/IMG_4020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355903095750454850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9e-qmqkI/AAAAAAAAASk/l5AtK93d4f0/s1600-h/IMG_4034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9e-qmqkI/AAAAAAAAASk/l5AtK93d4f0/s320/IMG_4034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355903090533247554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9evW-1QI/AAAAAAAAASc/DAIdTSziSQs/s1600-h/IMG_4049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9evW-1QI/AAAAAAAAASc/DAIdTSziSQs/s320/IMG_4049.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355903086424413442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9eZAmlYI/AAAAAAAAASU/fK1emdbm8vw/s1600-h/IMG_4053.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9eZAmlYI/AAAAAAAAASU/fK1emdbm8vw/s320/IMG_4053.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355903080424969602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9d7RiyVI/AAAAAAAAASM/UnrV-7eL6rw/s1600-h/IMG_4058.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SlP9d7RiyVI/AAAAAAAAASM/UnrV-7eL6rw/s320/IMG_4058.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355903072442960210" /></a><br />The fabric was wonderful.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-43255880803851048322009-07-04T09:35:00.002-07:002009-07-04T09:41:33.124-07:00happy 4th of july.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sk-FdFhJ89I/AAAAAAAAASE/z30AsZtwFF4/s1600-h/IMG_4292.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sk-FdFhJ89I/AAAAAAAAASE/z30AsZtwFF4/s320/IMG_4292.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354645216710751186" /></a><br />Wishing everyone<br />good food, <br />loud fireworks, <br />a margarita (or two), <br />and<br />some fun in the sun.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-28201927378857382712009-07-02T17:44:00.000-07:002009-07-06T19:20:23.827-07:00my partChen, <br /><br />You said you like, "pink, green, blue and yellow"....and, "anything from the sea".<br />Then, I went to Kauai to visit this little girl.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sk1V4qT2efI/AAAAAAAAARs/oLsMimNr8tM/s1600-h/IMG_3400.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Sk1V4qT2efI/AAAAAAAAARs/oLsMimNr8tM/s320/IMG_3400.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354029963931974130" /></a><br />Every time we saw a woman swimming she turned to me and said, "she's a mermaid."<br /><br /><br />I visited some fabric shops looking for "pink, green, blue and yellow", but kept thinking of "she's a mermaid". The perfect fabric was sitting at home, in California, in my stash. So, I picked up some fun flowers that reminded me of sea plants, but used my stash for the rest. The Amy Butler dots remind me of bubbles and the other Amy Butler made me think of coral. The other dots...more bubbles. <br /><br />I hope you like it.

First, I want to share the stores that I visited. <br /><br />My hubby, Jasen, deserves credit for his patience. He was my willing guide around the island, taking me from the Southside to the Northside and even visiting the same store TWICE. He took all my storefront photos, while I perused the inside of the stores. That's love.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvDdR55CmI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/OEtnHx6GgMg/s1600-h/IMG_3570.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvDdR55CmI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/OEtnHx6GgMg/s320/IMG_3570.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353587489849805410" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Vicky's Fabric Shop <br />(808) 822-1746 <br />4-1326 Kuhio Hwy <br />Kapaa, HI</span><br />Located on the right side of the road, if you're heading North. Don't blink....you might miss it. It passes by quickly. This was my first stop and where I found my bikini print. Vicky's Fabric Shop is great. The girls are friendly and Vicky, herself, will tell you of how she moved to Kauai years ago, from LA. I found great Hawaiian prints and some awesome Amy Butler and Alexander Henry. She also has quilts for sale, along with patterns for authentic Hawaiian quilts.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvFjlk_m7I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/HXOmtsMVv4k/s1600-h/IMG_3649.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvFjlk_m7I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/HXOmtsMVv4k/s320/IMG_3649.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353589797233335218" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Discount Fabric Warehouse <br />(808) 246-2739 <br />3-3215 Kuhio Hwy # 9 <br />Lihue, HI </span><br />The Discount Warehouse is a must-go. I spent the most time there and found some great stuff. I bought two Heather Ross prints and some great japanese fabrics. The ladies are wonderful and one, who I never got her name, was so helpful in discussing machine shopping. They have quite a huge variety of machines set up and my new friend gave my loads of advice. The prices are fantastic and when you consider sales tax is only 5% you may want to think about making a purchase and having it shipped home. I considered this.....for a moment.<br />The store was a little difficult to spot. We passed it twice. It's on the right side if you're travelling South. The shop in front is Two Frogs Hugging. It's a teak furniture store. It may be easier to look for that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvJRRIYrtI/AAAAAAAAARE/LyKSWNygtS4/s1600-h/IMG_3651.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkvJRRIYrtI/AAAAAAAAARE/LyKSWNygtS4/s320/IMG_3651.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353593880553500370" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Kapaia Stitchery <br />(808) 245-2281 <br />3-3551 Kuhio Hwy <br />Lihue, HI </span><br />How cute is this storefront? You won't miss it, so I won't bother to tell you which side of the street it's on. Beautiful quilts hang in the windows, the patterns for them can be purchased inside. At Kapaia Stitchery I found most my Hawaiian prints, Amy Butler, and some other fun prints. There were so many handmade items that I wanted to buy, but I refrained. My husband only has so much patience and it had started pouring "cats and dogs" while I was shopping.<br />I was inspired by one of their window displays... "The Postcard Quilt". I decided not to buy the pattern, so I could make something a little different from what they displayed. Mine will be smaller, more my sized. I did buy the bundles that were so perfectly matched up for "The Postcard Quilt".<br /><br />Fabric shopping in Kauai, just my style.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-88345022949637969792009-06-28T21:29:00.000-07:002009-07-01T21:34:53.964-07:00the blackberries are angry<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIh9gf21I/AAAAAAAAAQk/a9MlqjntNUk/s1600-h/IMG_4269.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIh9gf21I/AAAAAAAAAQk/a9MlqjntNUk/s320/IMG_4269.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352607905413585746" /></a><br /><br /><br />Southern California has welcomed Summer! The heat has been wicked, but we're fortunate to have a pool. I don't know how I'd get the yard work done without it on these hot days.<br /><br />While on vacation so much changed in the yard. The newlywed birdies that made a nest on the porch either moved or are on a vacation of their own. I hope they return. I was looking forward to watching their family grow.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIhfE9k-I/AAAAAAAAAQU/S6BY3KGkbhU/s1600-h/IMG_4253.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIhfE9k-I/AAAAAAAAAQU/S6BY3KGkbhU/s320/IMG_4253.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352607897245029346" /></a><br /><br />The grapes are only days away from being perfectly ripe. This will be our first year growing an edible harvest. Our area is known for great wineries, so we're in a prime location for growing grapes. No one told me they require patience, as it takes a few years for young plants to fruit well. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIhk6vpCI/AAAAAAAAAQc/MjNEch2UGLE/s1600-h/IMG_4259.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkhIhk6vpCI/AAAAAAAAAQc/MjNEch2UGLE/s320/IMG_4259.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352607898812785698" /></a><br /><br />Blackberries are troopers. They just grow and grow and grow. They have a dominant presence in the garden, as they can take over if allowed. I love trimming them.......because I eat them while I work. Not one blackberry has made it into the house. They've only been eaten in the garden. <br /><br />Because I love my blackberries so much my husband decided to make them an arbor from sticks he found at a park. (Mighty hunter) Hopefully, they'll enjoy being given more garden space. They were starting to get grouchy with me as I did a little trimming today. They left those horrible little splinters in my fingers (I forgot to wear my gloves) and I was left trying to pick out splinters with my teeth. Maybe the arbor will be a peace offering.Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-39970934881313381732009-06-26T13:04:00.000-07:002009-07-02T17:06:03.296-07:00home sweet home<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkUu-sryISI/AAAAAAAAAQM/Hjw6OTv76BA/s1600-h/IMG_4016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkUu-sryISI/AAAAAAAAAQM/Hjw6OTv76BA/s320/IMG_4016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351735386881270050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkUu-YKnjCI/AAAAAAAAAQE/p0SLDkvHJfI/s1600-h/IMG_4013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SkUu-YKnjCI/AAAAAAAAAQE/p0SLDkvHJfI/s320/IMG_4013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351735381373455394" /></a><br />It was hard leaving Kauai......I've heard it described as "God's playground" and "Nature's Disneyland". Both are true. I got some great photos......around 1000. It'll take some time to edit that amount of inventory.<br /><br />Until I can post more, I'll post a photo of my favorite purchase. I visited 3 fabric stores and found some great japanese prints, some Amy Butler, Heather Ross, and much, much more. My favorite purchase was of this japanese bikini print. I'm pretty sure one of the bikinis is inspired by my favorite print, <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/Shodty1bVNI/AAAAAAAAAN4/bV12QNvxpQQ/s1600-h/IMG_3216.JPG"target="_blank">Mocca,</a> by Alexander Henry. I bought one fq on my first visit, then went back and bought the last fq's in the store. They only had 3 more.......Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-53855094029582328542009-06-14T16:44:00.000-07:002009-06-15T09:46:49.211-07:00heather ross at joann's<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjWMgk52NAI/AAAAAAAAAP8/2uRgdMRcq28/s1600-h/IMG_3363.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjWMgk52NAI/AAAAAAAAAP8/2uRgdMRcq28/s320/IMG_3363.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347334623862338562" /></a><br />She's there. Check the quilting bundles.....I brought my coupons and "competitors" coupons. These were the only prints I found at my local JoAnn's, but I'm sure they differ by store. Let me know if you find any others.<br /><br />*be sure you look at the pre-cut BUNDLES. They're $9.99 (coupons!!!) and come with 3 HR FQ and 2 other prints*Autumnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671111840670051516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424664593468865746.post-46393914658692538692009-06-11T18:22:00.001-07:002009-07-02T17:05:16.700-07:00fussy quilt finished!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzGp6vieI/AAAAAAAAAP0/08rgJJpjNE0/s1600-h/IMG_3291.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzGp6vieI/AAAAAAAAAP0/08rgJJpjNE0/s320/IMG_3291.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346251159578315234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzGQHSJmI/AAAAAAAAAPs/bvrFdxNmaVM/s1600-h/IMG_3294.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzGQHSJmI/AAAAAAAAAPs/bvrFdxNmaVM/s320/IMG_3294.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346251152651593314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzFj9aCcI/AAAAAAAAAPk/Allxy_htEAI/s1600-h/IMG_3314.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzFj9aCcI/AAAAAAAAAPk/Allxy_htEAI/s320/IMG_3314.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346251140799007170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzFSdJc8I/AAAAAAAAAPc/M9nw2UyCrv4/s1600-h/IMG_3316.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6kePFguFzC8/SjGzFSdJc8I/AAAAAAAAAPc/M9nw2UyCrv4/s320/IMG_3316.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346251136100299714" /></a><br />All done!
