Hello! So I'm paying ten bucks a month for this blog I might as well post right? Speaking of which, does anyone know how to switch from typepad to blogger? and not lose all of your posts?

I've been sewing up a storm lately and have been loving it.

First, fabric belts and wristlets for some stores. Here they are hanging from my new shelf in my sewing room.

Here are some close ups

And I've been playing around with some new quilt designs. This has four columns of different colors with alternating bright green: pink and green, yellow and green, blue and green and brown and green. Flanked by white fabric (Kona cotton). Love it. Might go on Etsy.

 

These blocks are called snowballs.

I made four of them, and placed more solid white cotton around them, for a wall quilt:

I like using solid white as it really highlights the other colors. However, I may use other solid colors for these sets of snowballs:

Sock Monkeys.

And brown, orange and green snowballs with that Alexander Henry bird fabric in the center:

and my favorite, blue and green snowballs with an Amy Butler Midwest Modern print in the center (speaking of Amy Butler, stay tuned for an announcement of a certain sewing being in an Amy Butler publication!)
