Sampaquita Quilts

I found this lady's quilt on flikr...and simply stared.   

It pops, the colors are so clean and movement of the design is lovely.  She appliqued the elements onto the quilt by machine after she quilted it and used thread the same color as the fabric.  The back of the quilt is a knock-out....

Go take a look, and don't miss the photostream she has on Flickr .   Of course I went  to her blog 
and on to her Etsy shop for more eye candy.

Hawthorne Threads

Ooooooooooo..... mgosh!  I have found it.  I didn't know it was there.  Here it is!!!
Found this link over on Filminthefridge and clicked it just because it was there.  Well, let me tell you all....you will love this site.  All our wonderful new stuff is there from Amy to Windham House and everyone in between, with those adorable Japanese fabrics to boot. There are patterns as well.

Click on a collection, then a fabric and you will see a larger graphic of the design, then some color bars underneath where you can select coordinates to go with your fabric.  The user interface is friendly and easy and the site design is eye candy.   Not only that.....
...............well you have to go an see.

Just Listed In My Shop....Look, Look....

What do you think....is this suedecloth bag just green or deep celery....how about basil?

I have just listed this and the Lucy Tote in my shop.  

I love suedecloth, but it is not new to me....But  Laura Gunn’s new fabric line “Lantern Bloom” knocks my sox off and really shows off this bag…or this bag shows of her fabric line. The lining is also from the line. Laura is an artist and this bag, inside and out, looks like a painting. The aqua background really makes the orange Chinese Lantern Flowers pop.
