Quilting Stash

Coupons, coupons and more coupons. Between Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's there seems to be coupons just begging to buy material every week. Here are a few of the newest pieces I have picked up for Isabella's arrival.

butterflies and dragon flies for her Easter Peeps bag

Pattern by Virginia Knutson, Vee & Co

halloween kitties for her black halloween tote

cross stitch waiting to be done

Scooby Doo for her bumper pads in the crib

Mom is going to make them

cute, cute kitties - just because they were too cute to leave and will make a beautiful quilt one day

girly, girly pink batik hearts

and they go so well together

Now the hunt is on for more stash as I would like to make a quilt every year for Isabella until she turns 18. Good thing there are so many coupons to use.

Blooming Tuesday

We have had such a hot June and July is no different this year. Our temps are staying in the 90s with lots and lots of humidity. Not much fun to be working out in the garden right now so we look from the windows and enjoy our blooms.
