Oh dear. That time at the sewing maching night before last has opened an old desire. The longing to create some kind of a light summer coverlet for the bed. Something colorful, slightly off kilter, bold but not brazen - you get the idea. It's one of those things on my "52 by 53" list that fits into the pie in the sky category. But I want to make it happen, and to that end I went up to visit urban arts and crafts today in their new location.
This is always a fun place to visit because:
#1 it's north of the river and I get to see a part of town I normally don't visit
#2 they have paper and fabric and yarn - the triple threat
#3 perhaps most important of all - they have a store CAT
I might have purchased a bit more fabric so I can start on the project. I will wait to show you my selections as I move through the process a little bit. In the meantime just looking at the thread is enough to make me happy.
Great color scheme! Can't wait to see it!

I knew it! A QUILT...y...type of thing-y. Scrumptious colors. This will be wonderful to follow.

Love the thread colors a lot. This is going to be exciting to watch you through the process of creating this. Happy 4th of July weekend.

I can see a strip quilt without batting in strips of lucious tropical colors. My gran called these "summer" quilts.
We had a craft store here called The Cats Meow...bins of fabric with cats reclining, baskets with cats (yes, live cats) up on the register sleeping. Obviously, only cat lovers frequented this store. I was sad when it closed.
Anxious to see what you create using those yummy threads.
