What's Up Wednesday: QuiltCon, Fabric and More Peaceful Giveaways

I received two emails that brought a smile to my face.  Both QuiltCon and Southwest Airlines reminded my trip to Austin is just around the corner - 28 days to be exact!  Are you going?  I am traveling with four OrlandoMQG officers and can't wait to meet other MQGers!



January's Charming Solids Club fabric arrived, and I am happy to add more Kate Spain fabric to my stash.   Honey Honey looks so cheery and spring like.

Cindy is hosting today's bloggy Peace pattern party.  She made a really fun color wheel version of the baby peace quilt.  Please go say hi for me and see her Peace Around the Color Wheel quilt.

Hello Neighbor

The first time I met Cindy was at our Gruber's retreat, and I was fortunate enough to find my sewing machine right next to hers!  Of course she probably wondered what she had gotten herself into as I spent the entire weekend piecing pinwheels for my Peace, Love & Happiness quilt, while she worked on several gorgeous (and complicated looking to me) projects.

Numerous pinwheels

I was more than a little intimidated by her skills, but not by her sweet and friendly personality ;-)   I was more than thrilled when she agreed to test my pattern for me and couldn't wait to see her quilt top.  She didn't disappoint!

Peace on the Rocks
