I have been pacing the floor waiting for Whimsy to arrive!
Phone calls & e-mails were sent to those who might take pity
on me. Including to Joanna!
I know I only have a itty bitty small perspective of what it's like for
a lot of the designers and shop owners out there.
Moda does do a great job of keeping us fabriholics supplied...
but they aren't kidding when they say "hot off the press".
This morning this little package was hand delivered to me!
Tonight it will be sliced and diced- big exhale! I can relax now...
and if you are wondering why this little package is so important...
for the Fig Tree Club! The class is on March 6th. Nope, can't tell what the project is... only that
it's very sweet. A week certainly is plenty of time... but since I work, that tends to interfere with
my allotted sewing time, ya know what I mean?
Now I did have a back up plan...
I happened to have a bundle of Whimsy I have been playing with. I "obtained" it last Market, from a wonderful someone who supplies my habit!
I thought I would dive into my bundle left overs to start the new FTC project if all else failed...
but all is well now!
So, here is what I have been playing with...
My yoyo's are made, 4-patches are done, and I only have 20
yoyo's left to hand sew onto the background fabric!
Then all I will need to do is the houses! Next stop will be in
Yoyoville! (By Bunny Hill) It really has gone by fast. The yoyos are addicting.
I only said "are we there yet" a couple of times!
I just love the way it's coming together with the Whimsy group!
19 friends stopped by to chat:
You're driving me YO YO crazy...but that's a good kind of crazy..LOL
What a fun collection. Seems like alot of quilters are cooking up ideas to use Whimsy for.
Oh, I can't wait to see the new fig tree club project!!! And your Whimsy YoYoVille is going to be wonderful!!! I'm about ready to cut into my Whimsy bundle and start a new project....but think I might wait to see what the Fig Tree Club project is first!
You got right to it. What to go, yo!
Oh my gosh, that is going to be soooo cute! I just love Whimsy, and anything from Joanna, of course. I can't wait for Fresh Cottons to come out already too;-)
Yo Yos are so popular. When I was a kid we used them to make so many crafty items, then they kind of disappeared. Glad to see them bakc, and I love your project!
So I put some wedding stuff up if you want to check it out.
Very cute! Can't wait to see your finished project! Hope you get plenty of sewing time in the next week.
Love your Yo-Yo's! Beautiful fabrics!
How cute!! That is going to be an adorable quilt.
Whimsy is the best. What a fun project. You YO girl!
Ohhh... you are making this one... ahhh it ill be wonderful!!!
Have fun!!
Oh YoYoville in Whimsy is going to be fabulous!
The YO Yo's look like a fun quilt, I can't wait to see the houses!
I just posted my Sunday's Best Schnibble. Check it out!
Whimsy didn't knock my socks off as Joannna's designs usually do to me. Fresh Cottons is the line I simple must have! Can not wait for that one.
Hi. I found your blog from Ginger Patches. I see you are from Oakhurst. I grew up going to Bass Lake. We go every year, and it is our favorite place on earth!!! You lucky lady....living so close to what we call our little piece of heaven. Happy quilting!
that is the cutest background. What is it? Love that quilt.
How fun those yo yos are!!! And yay for hand-delivered fabric!!!! Here is my Schnibbles #6... http://anencourager.blogspot.com/2010/02/schnibbles-six.html
Very nice, Sinta! It's going to be so cute. I can't wait to see it all together.
