Modern Blocks (99 quilt blocks from your favorite designers)

Yay! I got my Modern Blocks book early. :)
This book is fabulous and I am really excited about getting started on some of the blocks inside.

Here are a few of my favorites. One of these will be made tomorrow.

My book now has teeth marks in it.

You can see a preview of ALL the blocks by going here.

I am hoping I'll be online more now that the weather is cooler. I apologize for not getting back to blog comments and being late on sending swaps. It's been hard getting back into my routine after summer for some reason.
Anyway starting tomorrow I'll try and catch up. I'm off cut out some templates out now. :)

Sharing Stitches {Book Review}

 I thought I would share a few pages from the book Sharing Stitches today. It was sent to me yesterday and I absolutely love it! There are loads of great projects inside (Danita's my favorite of course :)) and I can't wait to start on something.

 

I love the patchwork book cover a lot so I am thinking that may be the first one I attempt. 
as soon as I get some free time that is......

Material Obsession 2

I had pre-ordered Material Obsession 2 and wasn't planning on it arriving until October.
Luckily for me they released it early and it arrived this past Tuesday.
It's a really wonderful quilt book filled with fabulous quilt patterns and beautiful eye candy.


It was hard to choose but I think I picked the quilt I want to try first. I don't usually use quilt patterns because I am impatient and don't have a lot of sewing time but I am determined to try one before the end of the year. Maybe I'll realize quilt patterns are not as bad as I think.

Here is the one I am going to make.


It's called Coming Up Roses and has a 2/4 stars for difficulty level.

I was planning on working on it next week/weekend but unfortunately the fabric I was going to get is out of stock EVERYWHERE.

:(

I guess I'll wait a week or so and if it's not back in stock I'll have to find a new fabric line to use. My heart was really set on the High Society prints though.
