AMY BUTLERS NEW "LOVE" FABRIC

There are several fabric designers that I truly gravitate to:   Kaaffe Fassett, Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, to name a few!  These are two fabrics I just purchased from Amy Butler's new line of "Love" fabric.  I just hope I can cut into it!  I have some Heather Bailey fabric I purchased in Minden, Nevada quite some months ago that I have not been able to bring myself to cut into.  I have a quilt pattern in mind for this fabric so be looking for it on my Etsy site!  Thanks for coming to my blog!

FEATURED ON MY ETSY SITE SOME VALENTINE SUGGESTIONS

SOME OF MY ETSY ITEMS

AHI TUNA

This picture is of  a half eaten plate of ahi tuna our son made us for dinner one night.  We had NEVER had this before and it was simply amazing!  To me, it actually tasted like very good filet of beef.  I guess he can cook as well as fly airplanes!  Bravo Erik!

SESAME CRUSTED AHI TUNA

HUNKER DOWN!

Boy, do I LOVE the rain!  We have had such a soaking, so good for all the growing things, like little skiiers and thirsty gardens.  Now the wind, that is a different story.  And boy, did we have both together.  Stormy days are wonderful!  I can get a lot of quilting done and when it is time to sit and handsew the bindings on, it is so nice and warm, unlike when it is summertime and you want that quilt off your lap!  Hope to have some new creations ready for Etsy real soon.  Don't stop the rain!

I had to take a break from my machine quilting.  Machine quilting a 90" X 90" quilt one half inches apart all over the quilt takes a lot out of you!  I strolled around the garden remembering what it looked like this past summer and what it will look like again.  And, when the summer is back, I will not remember how painful doing all that quilting is!
