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....

We made 100 Heart Shaped Pillows!!!

Friends gathered @ whim-so-doodle in the studio of

fiberologie...

We cut, sewed, and stuffed these sweet heart pillows for Breast Cancer surgery survivors...

Lynn Long, Beth Heims and Wanda Johnson coordinated the event and the pillows will be donated to  Largo Medical Center's Breast Cancer Program.  

A BIG THANKS to all that helped us reach our goal of 100!!!!

If you are interested in participating we will be doing this event again in the fall....just let me know..Thanks.  Karrie
