Cutie and new Fabric

First I must start with a cute photo of my little Izzy....she was asleep on the recliner and Jon, my wonderful husband, covered her up!  SOOOOOO CUTE!!

Second, I went to an antique store in Caledonia, Missouri and they had vintage fabric! Can you believe it?  AND they sold it for $2.50/yard! I was soooo giddy....I'm sure the ladies got a kick out of me!  Here are some photos of the awesome fabric!

flowers

These are all hearts but it's a little hard to tell...click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see the hearts!

look at the cat fabric....you know me and my cats:)

Felt Food Fun

So my little buddy (aka my nephew Xavier) LOVES to "cook" right now!  At his Grandma's house they have a really cool play kitchen and lots of play food.  So his mommy got the idea to make some felt food.  We had such a good time making food for him (at least after both boys went down for a nap).  Here are some photos from our day!

Personalized lunch bags one for Xavier, one for Jordan

Cookies made by Rachel.....didn't she do awesome?  I think these turned out so cute! And they made us want sugar cookies the whole time!

Xavier "cooking"

grilled chicken breast sandwich...we didn't have the right color felt for turkey or ham so we made a healthier choice of grilled chicken breast!

Jordan loves to cook too!!  This carrot is the perfect fit for his little hand!

(by the way I might be totally biased...BUT I think I have the CUTEST nephews EVER!!)

so many options...

peanut butter and jelly!

look at those pickles....that's for you Uncle Jon since you LOVE pickles we

made sure he had some to play with!!

Grilled chicken breast, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles!

Looks like a yummy lunch!

Delicious!

Tomato, Carrot and Strawberries

Love this face!! Thanks X for being a great felt food model!

Hope you enjoy all the food boys....more will be coming!  Love ya'll both tons!!

oh my gosh!

Amy Butler's new fabric line is coming this fall!  I am SOOO excited!  Go here to see all the fabrics coming!  Here are some photos of my favorites (that will be available at SunFlower Quilts in September)!

Siggy Swap

I joined the Modern Siggy Swap that just started over at http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/.  I'm really excited to get everybody's blocks and see what fabrics people use!  I have a few honey buns in my stash and need to decide which one I'll use!  I have until July 1st to send my blocks....but I won't be putting it off until then (especially because this summer is going to be busy)!!

Hexagons and more hexagons...

Okay...so I have around 300 (I'm going to need over 1,000 to make a quilt) of these little 1" hexagons that I am totally addicted to making! Started making them, then found this fun group on Flickr hosted by Texas Freckles.  I want to start sewing them together but I have a dilemma....I can't decided on the pattern.  At first I was going to just randomly sew them together but I'm not sure I like how busy that was going to look.  So then I went searching around online and found this, this, oh and holy cow look at this one.  With soo many different patterns how am I going to choose.  I guess it will just come to me eventually while I continue to sew these little guys.
