{sewing = super fun!}

Ohhhhh I'm back in the craft studio this week sewing up a storm!!

First, ohhhh myyyyy gooodnessssssss!!!

Guess what I got out of my mailbox this morning???

Amanda's new line, Apple of my Eye!!

Aren't those colors the best?????

just gorgeous!!!

I will be whipping little fun projects out of this stack soon!!! Can't wait to show off! teeheee!!

in the meantime…

I've gotta show off some true fun!!

So in our Modern Quilt Guild, we did a scrap swap. What that means is that we bring a little baggie filled with scraps and we secretly swap them, then in two months we bring back what we made for that person with their scraps.

So, I brought some Amy Butler scraps…and my friend Pam made me this…

A gorgeous tote bag! I LOVE it!!!

And check out what she put inside!!

An Angel!!! (the hair clip is mine! I've been really using this bag!!)

So, I got Dierdre's scraps and a cute little card with a list of fun stuff her scraps could become…

Her scraps picked this:

a notebook cover!! Love it!!! I embroidered the word "joy" on the front…that's what these colors made me feel!

I love the bookmark!!

the flaps are so cool!!

and the back!!

So fun!!! I hope we do this again!

And remember these fabrics?

Here's how they turned out!

love aprons!!

so fun!! I hope Barbara loves it! Watch that mailbox, Barbara!!

I also made another little cutie apron, but I'm just going to give you a sneaky peek and tell you to make sure you are signed up for Julie's newsletter over at the Intrepid Thread!!
