A glimpse of some up and coming projects I've got in the works.
First up will be a signature quilt for a friend adopting a girl from China. This is their second adoption from that country and are there Right Now. The quilt will not be done when they get back.
I am using two jelly rolls of Gooseberry by Lella Boutique
And lots of signature squares. Lots and lots. More than I anticipated. This is a good thing!
When I was in Pella, IA in August I stopped in their local quilt store, lovely place! And picked up the above pattern. I think it will be my next hand work project. I didn't buy any fabric because A. I have so much and B. I have a ton of blue and blue and white. Case in point:
These fabrics came out of my mother's stash. I've never known what to do with it, so I think I'll pair it with the Dutch embroidery.
And lastly I picked up this pattern and fabric at our new Joann Fabrics today. I was disapointed in my treatment: basically the lady at the cutting counter assumed I didn't know what I was doing - hate that. But I'm thinking maybe this top for Thanksgiving? I've got a whole pile of clothing patterns and fabric I'd like to get to.

I have found the staff at Joann stores less than 'stellar'. Between shorting me on fabric because "I know how to cut fabric" to not knowing wool from cotton, I have to take aspirin before I attempt a visit there. And we don't have any other choices in my town.
But love the top fabric.
