I just got off the phone with UPS and they told me that my fabric has cleared customs and I should have it either tomorrow or Friday.
Yippee skippee! Woo hoo! Eureka! Huzzah! and whatever other exclamation I can't think of at the moment to add to the mix!!! I can't wait to see it wrapped as bolts. I'm light-headed now. Can you imagine how I'll be when I see the REAL thing? Oh my!
I finished binding my school house quilt and even though the batiks are totally out of my box, I really love the way it turned out. Thank you, Alice for another wonderful quilting job. I believe the edge-to-edge design that she used is called "Evening Primrose".
And lastly, I've been cutting and sewing on our "Stopped Me in my Tracks" quilt-a-long in order to have a better idea of the yardage that we'll need to complete it.
Sew here are my plans.
Let's see how much I can accomplish between now and Friday morning and I'll post the yardage requirements sometime on Friday. That will give you the weekend to shop your stash and/or LQS (local quilt shop) to come up with your fabric. On Monday, I'll post the link to the PDF file with my instructions and diagrams as well as a step-by-step tutorial with photos in order to make the process even easier than it already is.
How's that? Are you still in?
You're gonna L-O-V-E it!!!
Happy stitching!

Your post makes me HAPPY HAPPY! Congrats on the quilt finish and the new fabric too. Looking forward to the QAL!
Hi Karen I just loved this yellow and white quilt so much, I almost done making it! I had just the right fabric in my cubboard, and using the picture I made my plan. And so at last sunday I started cutting and sewing (the spring weather is very bad in the Netherlangds nowadays, looks like it is winter again) I used 2 1/2"strips and it turned out so loveley. I am curious how you plan to make it!
I am already thinking of handquilting it, but how?
Kind greetings Connny
