I Like Thursday # 71 ~ Keeping My Face to the Sun

 


Good Morning and Happy Thursday!

I am joining the fun with my friends at

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color

where once a week we choose to find and share happiness.

It is very gray and rainy and cold enough that snow is in the forecast here in my quilty corner.

It is a small piece of weather.

I always like to turn my face to sunny thoughts and and my happy place.

That is why I am posting this photo today.

This is a fabric panel.

It is from a new fabric collection,

The yardage and panels are just reaching the shops 
and the precuts are soon to follow.


I love sunflowers and the colors in this collection.

The designer, Robin Pickens, has a lovely Video Here
showing the complete collection and several patterns. 

I really enjoyed all the sunny fabrics and quilts and would like to make them all.

I shopped the internet and found the yardage and panels at a good price at



I am not affiliated with this shop.
I have purchased from them before and have been pleased with their service.
You will find this fabric arriving in many shops which feature Moda Fabrics.

 I will be posting photos of my new fabric soon after it arrives! 


I do already have this gorgeous calendar by the same designer. 
I saw this 2021 calendar online at Amazon and snapped it up.


The artwork is bright and beautiful.
This is a favorite quote of mine.


Here is the back of the calendar showing the monthly pages for 2021.
I a looking forward to hanging this calendar to brighten my sewing corner 
even on cloudy days. 


There is also a daily desk calendar and I have two of these on order,
one for me and one for a gift.


 I have been happily working on small quilt with this pretty fabric 
which I posted last Thursday.


It is a fun and easy pattern.


Here is one of the blocks.
More photos soon.


Since I often make sourdough bread on Thursdays
so we have fresh bread for the weekend,
I also have  bread dough from my sourdough starter 
on the dough hook 
in my bright orange kitchenaid mixer. 


Now that the weather has turned cooler,
Nutmeg and I have been snuggling under the quilts a lot.
Nutmeg likes to "tent" under the top quilt and cuddle.

May you and yours have a happy and quilty Thursday.
Be well and Be Safe.

Ooh - pretty fabrics. Love the sunflowers. A good machine that can handle sourdough! I bet it was yummy. (Baking always makes a rainy day brighter.)

Such a cheerful orange mixer ... love it! I too like sunflowers and will be on the lookout for the fabric line. So pretty and the saying is a great way to look at life, isn't it?
