Summerville....

New fabric has arrived from Lucie Summers.....and I want to make something!

We got in some charm packs and Layer Cakes.....and fat 1/8's.....

I have been doing a little searching online to get some ideas for this new fabric.  Lucie is from the Uk and her designs look screen printed.  She reminds me a lot like Lotta Jansdotter.   These fabrics are from Moda.......Check out this quilt from Red Pepper Quilts...

I love the addition of solids and whites....it gives the quilt a contemporary feel.  We may have to use this new line for our next beginning quilt class.  Or should we make a large travel tote??? Stay tuned for what we make!!!!

Happy MAY....Happy Planting.....

I am loving this time of year here in florida.  The weather has been amazing!!! 
I do know that we will be hotter than hot soon.  

But everything is blooming nicely including my orchids!!  Who would ever think that I could grow these beautiful flowers!  They love Florida!

So...this wonderful orchid gave me the inspiration for a new CROWN.....the "queen of gardening".....I have been wanting to make a crown with burlap and moss.....I use peltex for my base and I sew the burlap onto the crown with a zig zag stitch.  I purchased my flowers from the dollar store, and seperated the petals and just hot glued to the base.  I will be teaching another crown class on June 13, from 1-4 @ whim-so-doodle.....hope to see you there.  


I have a feeling this crown is going to get even more embellishments!!
Keep on Gardening....
