On my design wall

First, I want to tell you about a new fabric shop, Quilt Stash, Squared.  Their mission is “to get all the wonderful fabric sitting in quilters’ bins, boxes and closets and market them in an on-line shop”.  They are located in the Vancouver area, so have very reasonable shipping costs to Canada.  Plus they ship to the US and internationally.  Of course, when I heard about this shop, I had to browse through their selection, and of course I found some fabrics I loved.  Here’s what I got.  And by the way – quick delivery, nicely wrapped and great quality!

I completed my entry to the Quilts Arts reader challenge – Coffee or Tea?   This is what I said about my entry:

The only thing better than my morning cup of java, would be to meet a friend for coffee.  And of course, our coffee would be served on a mug rug!  I assembled the coffee cups with fusible web, then adhered them to the pieced background.  I made the steam with two layers of white tulle stitched to the background, surrounded with machine-stitched curlicues.

I’ll find out in about a week if my entry will be accepted for publication.

I’m working on a mug rug for a fun scrap bag challenge and swap through the VMQG, but I can’t post photos yet, because my recipient might recognize her fabric, and that would spoil the surprise.  Oh, and check out the VMQG member spotlight (I’m the member featured this month).

And, I’ve got a lot accomplished on the tree quilt.  More details here about my progress.
