Stitching Uncle Sam

I've always thought that red, white and blue were a very cheerful and happy color combination.  I thought I'd start on my Patriotic Door Hanging Pillows a little bit early.  Uncle Sam is my first:

I'm going to sit here for a bit and stitch before I head over to Mom's for some coffee.

Purple Pillow with Violets

Another hanging pillow stitched and ready to sew together:

I'll take a sewing day next week and get my latest projects all assembled!  Stop by tomorrow see Uncle Sam!

Crazy Quilt Fabric Packs

NEW TO KITTY And ME DESIGNS!

I am now offering fabric packs for crazy quilting, art quilts and other crafts that require small pieces of fabric.

These fabrics are from sample books of drapery and upholstery fabrics.  They are the perfect size for crazy quilting and many are color coordinated which will make choosing fabrics for a crazy quilt block very easy!

I will fill a Medium Flat Rate USPS Priority Mail Box to the top with a variety of these beautiful sample books.  Here are examples of one box:

Here is an example of another box:

To cut down on weight and bulk, we've removed the cardboard toppers that bind these books.

Most of the fabrics will have some sort of paper backing:

I use these fabrics on my own crazy quilt projects and I have found that in most cases, the paper comes off quite easily:

In a few cases, the paper is difficult to remove completely so you may have to work with some of the paper on back (I'm not afraid to do this when I have to) or, you'll have to cut off the parts with the paper and use what's left.  On many of the fabrics, there's just a strip of paper at the top or bottom leaving plenty of good useable fabric.

Each box weighs approx. 6 1/2 - 7 1/2 pounds.  That's a lot of fabric for crazy quilting and a huge variety to work with!

I've tried to pack each box with a variety of colors and types of fabrics.  There may be prints, solids, stripes, florals, checks, geometrics, sheers, textures, you name it!  No 2 boxes will be the same.

I can't guarantee that all types will be in each box but there's so much fun fabric to work with that I'm sure you'll want to order a 2nd box!  Also, I cannot "custom pack" boxes.  I've tried to include a variety of things in each box but it all depends on what I get in stock.

The price for each box is $22.50 and that includes the shipping fee!  Payments are made via PayPal.

Order Crazy Quilt Fabric Packs here.

As with my website and Etsy shop, all sales are final.  Please, USA residents only!

Velvet Violets

My 4 ceiling fans are clean and I did a little baking yesterday too.  I didn't get a lot of stitching time in but I did add the velvet violets to this crazy quilt piece:

I have some stitching now before I run to WalMart for prescriptions so I'll have another update on this tomorrow.

This is another of mom's hanging pillows:

Isn't this sweet?  A perfect Mothers Day Gift!
