I hope I have this done by July 4th!

Remember the letter "S" in my April post?  That little experiment has grown out of control.  I told Bonnie that I blame it on her.  What this means is, yet again, she has caused me to test my creativity.  The "S" grew into "USA", and then it was surrounded by a red border, then one inch half-square triangles, then I had to decide on a blue border . . . deciding .. .

which blue, from my stash, to choose?

I think I like this dark blue best.



Yup! This one is perfect!

Stay tuned to see how this turns out.  I am having so much fun with my red, white, and blue scraps!  I am making some liberated stars to use as corner stones, and I had to use some left over doggie fabric, too! I am pretty excited about it so far!

Fabric from Luxembourg

My favorite daughter, who went to the Fabric Festival in Luxembourg this past February, mailed me some fab fabrics from that fair city.  She also sent me a chocolate bar.  She really knows what I like!

Love the owls! Can't wait to use it with the wild batik I picked up at the quilt shop in Crouch, ID, a couple weeks back.  I think it is called The Stitch N Snip, but I am bad with names.  The chocolate was yummy, and it is good to be the best Mama in the world!  I think my daughter is the best daughter in the world.  :)
