While visiting Cyndi at the
Busy Thimble (aka Paradise) over the weekend, she snapped this picture of me with
my first two rows of Blockhead blocks. I am doing it in the potholder method (naturally!)
and finally decided to just stitch them together in the order of publication.
I bought half yard cuts of the
entire line of Betsy Chutchian’s “Rachel Remembered”. I love every single one
of the 40 fabrics in this line. I think it is my favorite Betsy Chutchian so
far. I nabbed this image from Cyndi’s Blog, but do check out this post (here)
to see the close ups. This line is delicious!
And then, Cyndi handed me a
beautiful package, cleverly wrapped in a tissue dress pattern. Imagine my delight when I found this beautiful
pin cushion inside. Pam Buda had graciously sent one to Cyndi and one to me.
How lucky are we?! Pam is another one of my favorite designers. We met at our
state show in Augusta last year and she is just as sweet as her quilts and her
fabrics. Check out Pam’s blog, Heartspun Quilts (here) for some luscious eye candy.
Have a great day!
The fabric line you purchased looks oh so tempting. How good it is that you have a shop that will carry a whole line of the repro fabrics.
ReplyDeleteBlockhead looking great so far.....omg fabric jealousy that range looks amazing.....
ReplyDeleteoooh gorgeous fabric everywhere at cyndi's...and glad you could get more as i know you were running low....ROFL!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you've bought some fabrics about "Rachel Remembered" ! I bought myself a layer cake and I can say the fabrics are awesome !
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful as usual like the pincushion !
It looks amazing already! I love Betsey's fabrics as well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks! Kudos to you for keeping up with the program. My Rachel Remembered fabrics arrived last week. I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, sounds like a super fun day, Wendy! I know you'll be making beautiful things from those fabrics for years to come. :D
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you in my favorite quilt shop!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt-in-the-making looks wonderful! I am never brave enough to sew things together until all the blocks are done. It robs me of the joy of endlessly shifting things around to get them "just right". LOL
I agree that Rachel Remembered is a gorgeous line of fabric.
That Pam is such a sweetheart. isn't she?
I loved your post today. It was wonderful seeing you with your terrific blocks and all of thst delicious fabric behind you. You are lucky to have a shop so near by that carries all of the beautiful repro lines. I can see it would be very tempting to live so close. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to some fabric goodness.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Betsy Chutchian's previous line Hope's Journey and bought a FQ bundle. I was going to use it to do the Blockheads BOM (your partial quilt is delightful BTW). I ended up doing my current applique project instead. I still love the line. It is so pretty. I'm determined to try the hot pad method one of these days. I think I would find it so satisfying. I love the toile-like fabrics in Rachel Remembered - so lovely.
ReplyDeleteImagine my surprise as I was scrolling down my blog feed and I recognized you immediately so I had to stop and read your wonderful post. Great job on the Blockhead blocks and I am so thankful you bought 20 yards of fabric. I've been bad, thanks to Memorial Day sales, so I'm heading the wrong way with my challenge. I don't dare look at the Rachel Remember fabric line.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo of you!! your blocks are beautiful and I like the idea of you sewing them together in order of publishing. Isn't it great when you love a whole range so much you just have to have it. That range does look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteyour blocks look great Wendy~ and it really is a great photo of your wonderful smile. I hope to visit Cindi's shop one day. It looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat pin cushion!
btw - your link goes to Cindi's blog instead of Pam's. I found hers on your sidebar and what a pretty blog.
Wonderful photo of you with your blocks. Rachel Remembered is a beautiful fabric line--thanks for the link. Love the patriotic pin cushion, too!
ReplyDeleteI've never done that, bought a piece of every single fabric in a great line. Good for you! Love the photo of you with your blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great! How lovely to be able access the whole range! I haven't see any of that one over here in NZ.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Those blocks are looking awesome!! I"m going to have to get mine STARTED!! VBG
ReplyDeleteLove those new fabrics. What are you going to make?
And that adorable pin cushion is the BEST!!
It looks fantastic Wendy! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the two rows in the photo. Looks like a lovely shop, too. The fabric line is very pretty. Nothing like new fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Chooky - experiencing fabric envy! How wonderful to have that whole range, something that I couldn't afford here in Australia where fabric is soooo expensive.
ReplyDeleteOh your quilt is shaping up to be something wonderful. I bet the back is awesome too. Looks like a luscious line indeed. I will look for it at my LQS.
ReplyDeleteFabulous progress on the blockheads quilt! you go, girl!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and love what I have read. How can I follow you? I could not find you on IG nor could I find that you have people sign up for email notifications.
ReplyDeleteYour blockhead blocks look wonderful! So does your smile :0) I would LOVE to go to Cyndi's shop. All those marvelous repros in one shop - I think I'd have heart palpitations!
