New Fabrics, July 2009

I bought some fabric. It was cheerful; I had ideas for what to use it for and I just couldn’t resist.

I loved the pink stripe and pink flowers on the left.  They are cheerful. I, first, bought a half yard of each to go with the blue. As I was chatting with the cutting lady, I decided that they would both make fabulous tote bags, so I bought enough for tote bags. The others are fat quarters that I thought were cheerful. The funny part was that the cutting lady kept all the bolts aside so she could get some of the same fabric.

I need to get busy on tote bags as I now have the fabric to make four of them!

Cookies in the Tarts?

quilted cookies

SherriD has been encouraging me to include some cookies in the Tarts. I have a bunch of good reasons why I can’t or won’t. Mostly, I haven’t been successful at drawing them so viewers know they are a cookie. Of course, SherriD, resourceful quiltmaker that she is, found this quilt. I am sticking to my guns, but you can weigh in with your opinion below.
