{*~Prep Work~*}
- People can be weenies! People can also be rad! I’m focusing on the rad!
- Crafttt shoooowwww! This weekend!!! In the middle of no where! SO EXCITED! Saturday!
- Friday is going to be a little crazy, driving to Sacramento to drop Greta off at the dealer so she can have her firmware updated and I can go to pinkberry for the first time, then to Chico to pick up a bunch of stuff.
- Reallllllly obsessed with Amy Schimler guys…working on a custom baby quilt and I’ve reached for her fabrics nonstop. And Riley Blake. The two together are like pure heaven.
- It felt randomly fall-ish today. Or that might just be because it wasn’t a hundred and fuck outside today for once. ;)
- Fat Quarterly #2 is out and pretty gosh darn neat!
- I’m starting a big cartel shop in August with all my quilty-sewn stuff. More on that later.
- I have no idea why but I love this song…it reminds me of last winter. On that note, umm…NEW GUSTER ANYONE?! Excuse me while I DIE OF HAPPINESS!!!!
- FABRIC DIET. Starting August first! No new fabric..the entire month of August! But it’s my birthday 8/8, so please, feel free to mail me some…I have a feeling around the 10th I’ll be going through withdrawals. But realistically my fat quarter shelf is out.of.control.
- Mini classes! Who’s in? I’m thinking about teaching some via the interwebz. I’ve been taking a lot of pdf/flickr classes on art journal-ling and I think I could teach some good stuff…like the art of making mini quilts…making traditional blocks modern…choosing palettes of color for quilts…etc.

I am totally in if you are going to be doing mini classes!! Lord knows I need a lot of help with my colour palettes and yours are absolutely amazing!
Also, camera strap thingies?! WANT TO BUY!!!

Those camera straps are the cutest things ever- yes, you need to get a shop…then you won’t have to go on a fabric diet :-) and my birthday is the 13th!

Oooh mini classes! Sounds really fun.

I don’t think your fat quarter shelf is out of control at all!! It looks so neat I’d be afraid to touch anything on it though!!
[Reply]
I know what you mean – my fabric is out of control too (although maybe not quite as much as yours, haha). I’d be willing to take some of those scraps off your hands though ;) I’m making a string quilt variation based on a tutorial I wrote and blogged; swap?
I love your camera straps and can’t wait to see what else you’re working on!

Guster! Those guys graduated one year before me at Tufts. Some of my friends were groopies from the beginning. They used to be called Gus. And the had the best promo posters ever –way back then. I should buy their new stuff.

[Reply]
Heck yea, I want to take a mini class. I have been in love with your mini quilts for some time now.
Hundred and fuck. I know that tempature all to well. and it sucks ass. I can’t wait until fall.
[Reply]

Mini-classes sound like big fun! Let me know how you like Pinkberry! We drove around looking for one in OC and never went…it sounds sooo delicious! Have a super great craft show!!!
[Reply]
A shop AND mini-classes?!? Wheeeeeew! Sounds totally excellent. :)
[Reply]
Dude! If you do mini-classes, count me in!!! I need to get a hold of some of your mini-quilt juju you have going on!!!
[Reply]
I would definitely take a class from you about mini quilts. I’ve been meaning to make some..
I envy your fabric stash. If it’s too overwhelming and you want to unload a little bit, I’ll gladly take some :)

There is no such thing as too much fabric. I can not wait until one day when my fabric stash is as “out of control” as yours, I think I might have an addiction lol. And on a second note… Woot woot for August birthdays! I am on the 5th and I can not wait. So happy birthday to you. And on a third note… what on earth is that wonderful owl fabric? I dont think I have seen it before but he is such a great little figure.

I REALLY need to go on a fab diet too (and the real kind too but I won’t even go there right now. You and my hubby are only 2 days apart so no wonder I like you! Thank you soooo much for getting those Uptown scraps to me. I’m off to email you now!
