FABRIC TUESDAY #22 Seriously!


Hello again! Welcome back to fabric Tuesday!  

Megan told you about her brush with the stars. She forgot to tell you the best story.  About 7 years back, our parents lived in southern California. Megan and I were taking a little Hollywood vacation. It was a funny funny night. We ate pizza on a sidewalk 10 feet from a homeless man as we watched an ambulance take someone out from a club. We were hoping it was a star.  Then we thought we would go check out the Ivy because celebrities are always there.  I was infront of Megan and suddenly turned around and freaked out. I was giggling, and crossing my legs so I wouldn't pee (give me a break, I had just had a baby.) Megan was dying because I couldn't compose myself to talk. Finally I uttered the words " It is Dawson Leery"  from Dawson's creek. And yes, I did actually say Dawson Leery, and  not his real name James Vanderbeek.  Megan hurried past me to get a look. It was really funny and awesome!

 Okay, back to some relevant info. This is the quilt I made with Aunt Bea's fabric pile from a few weeks ago.
PS AUNT BEA IS HAVING A HUGE SALE!


 I made it for my niece Hannah. (I hope the other kids don't expect one, because I have 35 nieces and nephews. (on this side alone!)  She loves green and blues. And I think she loved this quilt.
I did an all over stipple I was happy with. It is the largest quilt I have quilted on my own.  I am really happy with it.

The sad news is Aunt Bea's fabric shop is closing.  The good news is 

AUNT BEA'S FABRIC SHOP IS ALL 30% OFF!!! HURRY AND GET THE GOOD STUFF!

edited to add: Megan posted on Fresh Poppy Design, a sneak peek at her kitchen re-do and one of our new patterns, so make sure to take a peek!
