Fabric Tuesday!

Happy Fabric Tuesday everyone!

Did you all watch Oprah yesterday?

Let me fill you in.

She has a secret half sister!

{everyone staring blankly at the computer screen}

Okay okay, so none of us knew how many siblings Oprah did or didn't have.

But let me say, this lady found out a few years ago (2007) that she was Oprah's half sister, given up for adoption at birth.  Can you imagine that?!?

Want to know something else?

Heather and I went to see Oprah!!  We actually got tickets to be in her audience a little more than a year ago.  Heather flew into Chicago to meet me for less than 24 hours. leaving her 6 week old baby at home.  Totally worth it.  It was awesome.  She totally looked at us, she kept making eyes at me because I had a question for her...even though I never got to ask it, but that's a whole other story.

Heather and I also saw Bob Barker's head once on a guided tour of Hollywood.

I saw President Bush land on Air Force One.

I saw Joan Rivers in an airport terminal.

AND I saw Wayne, the big brother on the Wonder Years in the airport.  But not to be confused with the time I saw Joan Rivers.  Totally different.

Well if that wasn't a tangent...and for a very smooth transition...

Here's what I made my friend Sara aka SewSara for Christmas! :)

The girl LOVES red, cherries and bright and cheery fabric! I didn't give her specific instructions on it's usage (that's probably what she's thinking!).  I imagine it could be a wall hanging, or table topper...It's probably a 12 inch square in the middle where I appliqued the cherry.  I used scraps from my Spinning Coin Quilt to piece the border and used the same fabulous binding. I have one last little project where I used the rest of my fabric from the Fabric Shoppe that I'll share next week.

I straight line quilted it because it's all I know how to do it's really trendy and fit this piece perfectly!  Here is what Sara made for me.

Without more pointless blabbering...I give you:
