Mail Call ~ Part Two!



This gorgeous fat quarter bundle also arrive yesterday in my mailbox!

I am sew blessed!

When ...


... posted this fun post about ...


I just had to join in the fun.

I've lost a few Wednesdays myself and never have found them.

However, my Saturdays and Sundays lately have been lovely
 and filled with fabric!

I have found that I can download these fabric swatches, too, 
into my EQ and am playing with the layout now ...


... or maybe ...



... or maybe ...


I am thinking maybe a snowball layout to showcase these pretty fabrics.
This would be a mini quilt using just these fat quarters.
Two of the fabrics in this layout are not a perfect match as they did not have 
the violets on the blue tonal background 
or the light blue splatter print for download.
It will make a pretty little quilt for my table or wall.

EDIT:

I think I got it ...



... this one!

This measures about 22" square,
uses all 8 fat quarters
and does not require more than 1/4 yard of any fabric.
The narrow outer border is actually a flange.


Hope to be sewing with these beauties soon!

Thanks, Ellen!


I am thinking that I have spent so much time petting and playing
with these fabrics that they qualify as another ...



... sew I am linking this up today.

For my other June NewFo starts ...

I started cutting this one ... 



and this one ... 



I have projects all neatly stacked and waiting by my machine for
"the pick of the day"
when I sit down to sew.

and just for kitty and new fabric fun for a future NewFo ...

This one will be a NewFO soon, too.

 My quilty kitties and I love the NewFO Challenge.

Thanks, Barbara, for being s lovely NewFO hostess!

Embracing my inner "NewFo"

2014 NewFO Challenge


 I have been seeing this linky party from

Barbara @ Cat Patches

all year and have been resisting.

I am supposed to be working on completing my UFOs this year, right?

Well, I have looked back at my track record so far this year and if I do the math,
I know it is going to add up to more NewFO's than anything else.

So I am embracing my true inner quilty muse here and getting in the spirit of this FUN challenge

Here are  my NewFO's for the month of March ...


My Quilty Kitties and I started sewing this project on the first day of March


We finished this one in time for the blog hop!




We got this one done, too.

Looks like I need a blog hop deadline looming over me to "get 'er done."

We are also started playing with these lovely new fabrics ...



March Spring Frolic Mystery Quilt WIP

... and dug through our stash to start this fun one ...

It is spring!

Happy Newfo Beginnings!

Hope to have these two in the "got 'em done" pile soon
