holey bee sting!

now this is was seriously autumn quilt! i knew Melody Miller's new fabric line Ruby Star Rising 2 was going to gorgeous, but i never knew it would hurt so good! (and yes, this is me being cheeky... juiced up on caffeine first thing in the morning! LOL) although, i was given 3 half yards cuts from her new line, due to the additional expense of this lovely fabric and generous size of it... i only used 2 of them for this entire quilt with a little help from fab Kona solids, linen, and quilters linen
(and this little puppy's 60" X 60")!!










Melody also made this fantastic video to share with everyone based on Deborah, from Whipstitch, design for a bee skirt!!! Too friggin cute!




you can also see great examples of RSR2 here and here!!


have a fab Tuesday kids!!

i can feel it!

can you??? can you feel that summer ( for my children... and your's ) is almost over! YES! very soon... i'll be able to taste it too and that's when it will be time to party! i adore my children, but this is the part of the summer where, " i'm bored " has become as irritating as the "small world " song from Disneyland!!! LOL


and after that last quilt i finished ( i'll picture soon ), i think i found my mojo again!! double YES!! there are definitely two projects i just can't resist anymore, so i've been working ( and by working, of course that means screwing around ) with both of them as much as time will allow!


i have been itching... ITCHING, i tell you to use my Melody Miller Ruby Star Rising 2 fabrics... you can grab some here. I'm only using a half yard of two different prints for this quilt and solids. i really wanted a fall quilt and i just think this may be perfection when completed!






i had thought i'd be going a bit more { green } with it originally, but then the Autumn bug bit me and i went with plums...




i have also been going silently mad over all those ( Swoon Quilt ) blocks showing up around town... dang, they are just GOOD! Here's some of my fav's... you can click on the image to see more quilty goodness from the artists!! ;)

okay... so, after much consideration i pulled my fabrics for my quilt! i'm going "a la holiday"! here's to hoping it turns out as beautiful as these ladies!!
