SUNSHINE DAYDREAM

Ahhh....

with encouragement and help from son #2,

I rushed outside yesterday,

after a full day of mom duties,

and captured a delightful hour in the last rays

of our soon to be sparse sunshine!

(notice dog Fred enjoyed frolicing under the table!)

In that plastic tub is the last

of my way-too-many-yards

of Freddy Moran's line of fabric

that she did many years ago.

It was called "pure color" by Quilter's Only.

I finished making a bunch of baskets 

to try to make a dent in this part of my stash.

It felt sooooo good to be 

outside

in the sun

listening to the birds and squirrels

gratefully sewing

All this happiness compelled me to make a littlebit.

I pulled out some Terrie Mangat fabric!

It's a shrine to the art of trusting!

Trusting that the universe has our back.

Terrie Mangat is another quilting super hero of mine!

Here's some pics of my way-too-many-yards

of Terrie Mangat fabric!

OOHHH LA LA...Terrie's "fiesta" line...LOVE IT!

There's a lot to love about 

quilting...

like this new book...

I had a lot of fun sifting through my stash 

to make this lattice quilt 

in hopes of teaching it in the spring.

I leave you with a quote from 

Emily Cier in her book, Scrap Republic,

"Be eccentric. Be crazy. And most important, have fun! It's very liberating!"
