A couple weeks ago my Moda rep visited with a preview of new fabrics. One line really stood out for me in particular, making both my mom and I drool with excitement. What can I say? sometimes fabric "speaks" to me!
So....I got an awesome email from Moda with links that I can share with everyone. Here is a link to "Origins," which I loved so much that the ENTIRE line will be in store this August!
Origins by Basic Grey for Moda
Happy drooling!

Surivor..........or Sewing
I had high hopes of getting a lot done tonight in last minute prep for the Shop hop this weekend. I planned to finish blocks 3-6 to display 1/2 of the new Block of the Month this weekend. I also wanted to finish my Caulipuss wall hanging. But, when 8 o'clock rolled around I was done for....or so I thought!
I popped a big bowl of popcorn, poured a bigger glass of wine, and settled into the couch for some fantastic vegging in front of the T.V. So, here I am, thinking I'm done sewing for the night cuz it's time for Survivor, when the phone rings.
It's G, my husband C's cousin. And when G calls, it's usually so he and C can discuss and solve all of the world's crisis in the world's longest phone conversation. (They're worse than a couple of women!) So, after sitting long enough in front of the paused, Tivo-ed, Survivor to finish my popcorn, I gave up and hit the sewing machines again. And before the world's latest crisis was completely resolved, I managed to finish a few things up!
First, my Caulipuss wallhanging. Finally, my own Garden Patch Cat for the quilt shop!
So, I moved on to some more Piece, Love, & Applique. Blocks 4 and 6 are done!
And then there's Block 5, which happens to need red fabric for a big basket of flowers. Red fabric that I don't have at home, so for now it's a big block of background.
I am officially 1/2 done with my Piece, Love & Applique quilt (minus the missing red fabric). Here's a picture of the top half.

BOM Blocks 1 and 2-Piece, Love Applique
Well, it turns out this BOM is very quick to put togther, and with only a couple of evenings after work I have churned out Blocks 1 and 2! Here are some pics for you to enjoy:
Here is "block" 1. With this project, they're more like sections than blocks.
Here you see two shots, one before and one after I've button-hole stitched the fusible applique. I went with my favorite method, fusible applique and machine button-hole stitch.
Here is section 2, the first try.
I didn't like how light the green of the leaves turned out, so I switched fabrics. Here is my final block, before the buttonhole finish:
So, I'm off to finish the button hold and section 2 will be done! Perhaps you'll find a picture of sections 1 and 2 attached to each other later tonite!
