First off, I got a reminder email from the lovely ladies at the Cedar Quilt Retreat that they would love to need the quilts I am teaching in January to hang at the annual Heritage Days Festival. It just might have slipped my mind that the original The Village Square is currently on a cross country Irish Chain Quilts trunk show. So ya, I need to make another one and it just bumped to the top of the list. After much debate (so many amazing fabrics make it hard to choose) I decided to go with Sweetwater's Feed Company line for Moda. I think it will give it an awesome Americana feel. Time to get cutting on this one ;)
And second, I quick little project using some Heather Bailey True Colors. I love how soft these prints are. I have a vision of what it will look like in my head, and I am just hoping it turns out as cute and adorable as I see it in my mind. I know, I am being a little cryptic, I will share more soon ;)
And finally, I was excited to get these two amazing Jelly Rolls of Modern Backgrounds Ink and Paper by Zen Chic for Moda in the mail. Fat Quarter Shop has a new pattern coming soon and I am super happy to get to make one for the big release!! And that Red is a Brushed Bella Solid Red. I have never used a Brushed Moda Fabric before and I have to say, I am in love!! It is so incredibly soft!!! I can't wait to start stitching with it ;)
Have a Super Happy Quilting Weekend!!!!
I love seeing the plans for a new project.... or three! Your Village Square quilt is one of my favorites. I will be curious to see how the new version come along!
ReplyDeleteThe ink and paper jelly rolls look wonderful with the red solid - I see a Mister DJ quilt in my future I think!

Feed Co will look great. I ordered the BOM because I liked it so well. What background fabric?
ReplyDeleteWOW do you sleep at all! I'm so looking forward to the new patterns, especially the one with Ink and Paper jelly rolls :))
ReplyDeleteI get what your saying, Melissa, I keep coming up with new projects, too. But it's so FUN! You seem to be a really fast worker, I am always figuring out as I go so it takes me longer, but it's still so FUN! Enjoy your projects ( I know you will...)
