something New

Thank you guys for all your support on my dogwood quilting.  I'm happy to say that there are 2 new finished quilts tumbling around in the drier right now to share with you next week.  Woohoo!  I know I wouldn't be trying the half of what I do if it weren't for the fun of sharing it here at Stitched in Color.  So grateful for your company!



Today I've pulled fabrics for something new - a wallet I desperately need!  I've been embarrassed by my cheesy wallet (which I bought partially to punish myself for losing my wallet twice in a row) long enough.  And it is wearing out too, so this make is a must.  I hope to get this project from Zakka Style by Rashida Coleman-Hale zipped up in time for QuiltCon!



These are the fabrics I'm looking at for the inside, some favorite scraps and a sprinkling of text (it's Books and Letters).   Hmm... it might still be a little too busy.  The layered fabrics are the inside pockets of the wallet which will peak out just the slightest bit.  Maybe it's the sriped background that's too much.  What do you think?



I'm also tidying up today, stashing away these green fabrics I ordered a few weeks ago when I shared about buying "helpful fabrics".  From left they are: Lizzy House Pilgrim Stripe in seafoam green, Lizzy House Jewels in green, Jewels in emerald green, Lizzy House Pearl Bracelet in Green, Lecien Medium Dots in green and Lecien Stripe in green. 



And here are my low volume stashings:  Ghastlie Clover, Central Park Cobblestone, Lizzy House Jewels in Light Pink, Jewels in  Pale Blue plus that blue Hello Pilgrim butterfly print, just because.   Can you tell I believe in Lizzy House jewels?  Yep, I do.  Feeling totally lucky to be taking a workshop with her about quilt design at QuiltCon!   Eep!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
