Did I mention...

That I won a door prize at my guild's Modern Meetup at the quilt show last month? (yes, I'm that far behind on my blogging topics!)

I won a cute little coordinating bundle of FQ's from the Needle Shop, a pattern from Lee, and some Aurifil!

Also new to my stash is this pile of beautiful fabrics - most of them are already cut and being put together for my guild's challenge quilt. My assigned month is Summer - so I'm going with a sherbet color palate!

And finally at the quilt show (last month) I snagged a couple yards of one of my favorite Tula Pink prints - and some Aurifil!

Free Piecing

I really want to teach a modern miniatures class on free piecing.

Tula Pink Topiary in Sprout

You might not be able to tell, but this bit of free piecing was inspried by the color palate of this "bossy" fabric! I really love the colors and didn't think I had anything to match it. I was wrong! Now I wish I had enough of this fabric to back the mini -- but I only have little scraps left!
