I am actually blaming Georgia for my recent obsession with all things American Jane... A little while ago Georgia sent me the sweetest parcel, which contained a charm pack of Recess, Wee Play and Snippets. I wasn't quilting when all 3 were released and although a good number of my Flickr favourites contained the prints, I hadn't found any online. I could not believe my luck when I opened my parcel - thank you so much Georgia for sharing these with me!
So to cut a long, obsessive story short... I ended up sneaking in 2 jelly rolls (as well as an extra Wee Play charm pack because the lovely lady happened to mention that they still had 1 charm pack in stock - seemed a little rude not to buy it!) a couple of months ago - 1 Wee Play and 1 Look and Learn with the intention of making these into a hexagon quilt for Gus. I was a little worried that 2 jelly rolls might not be enough for a twin sized quilt, so with the wedding finally complete, I began a little online search for Wee Play fabric. I could not believe my luck when I stumbled across a FQ bundle still at the RRP online. I decided that if it was still there in the morning I would order it. So I did.
I've just finished making a disappearing nine patch quilt with the two charm packs for my cousins wee little guy Theo. I have to confess that parting with that quilt will be rather difficult. It is gorgeous. Even if I do say so myself. It's with the LAQ at the moment, so as soon as it's back I'll share a pic! I've got one quilt to finish before the end of the week for a friend before I can begin playing with these prints again. I can not wait.
Happy sewing!
i am jealous...american jane is one of my absolute favorites
ReplyDeleteFun! I just found almost the entire line of Peas and Carrots at a store and bought it... all I could find and plan to mix it with Snippets.
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics, so colourful and happy. These will look lovely in quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back on your blog, I did begin to wonder what was going on in your world although I did know your wedding must have been taking up a lot of your time. All of you photos are lovely, you all look very happy.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Really great find! Wee Play is just perfect for little boys I think. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love a find like that! I am loving the line too and I am working on a hexagon quilt too with it!!
