Brown Bag Revisited

So do you remember when I showed you this amazing fabric way back in September for my Brown Bag Quilt.  We'll it has been sitting on my pile of  "to do's" for quite some time.  We'll no longer.  Yesterday I sat down and created a design.  It was a super fun challenge to design something that used up at least 90% of what was sent.  Talk about fabric limitations, but I really enjoyed it.  When I was happy with the design I immediately whipped out my mat and rulers, it had been in the "to do" pile long enough.  So here it is, all cut up, and ready to be pieced.  Stay tuned . . . :)

The green floral print that you don't see will be used for the backing :)

The Sun . . . Again

So do you remember Robin Hood Prince of Thieves??  Ya, clear back from 1991.  There is a part where Robin and Azeem are standing on a wall and Azeem turns to Robin and says "Is there no sun in the cursed country?!".  So that line has been running through my head all day.  I just need 10 minutes, that is all I am asking for.  But no, nothing but overcast grey as far as the eye can see.  Maybe tomorrow :)

P.S.  My husband and I watched this for the first time in years the other day after finding it at a garage sale.  It truly is an oldie but a goodie!!

Oh yes, Central Park

So I just have to add the binding and then I am done with my to finish before Christmas list.  This last project is actually a little "baking" due to come out at the end of January.  I am so excited about this new design!!! And oh yes, that is Kate Spain's newest line Central Park!!  It is amazing, I absolutely have fallen in love with these prints!!!  So here is a sneak peak to hold you over until January.  (Tee Hee Hee)

And since we are on the subject, do you remember this sneak peek from way back in October???  The tutorial for it will be coming out on the 28th!!  That is just 9 more days!!!  I can't wait :)
