Mosaic Monday


This weekend I split my time between visiting the hubs in the hospital
and with my DIL, who was a Super Bowl widow for the weekend.
I got to stay in the baby's room... fortunately there is still a guest bed
in the room.
I thought I would share pictures of the room decor that was inspired
by this pattern below.


When I found out the "theme" of the baby's room... Verna Mosquera
had just released this pattern.. it was a match made in heaven!
Jillian loved the pattern... it was just what she envisioned...
and it wasn't long before she made ALL of the coordinates for a perfect
room for Evelyn... arrival: March 2012.

You Amaze Me

I loved each and every quilt, pillow, runner and topper that was in the Full House parade!
I think there was nearly 60 quilts, 60 awesome bloggers who joined in!
You all amaze me!


So, I was going to tell you, that due to my honey being in the hospital
and being stressed in general... I was really hoping for a quick and easy project this month...
for the next AYOS.
 I looked on my list and saw this one. I.S.T.H.
I went through my pattern stack and found it.
Usually Carrie has a little blurb in her patterns on how she came up with the name but
this time I could easily see... those initials are mixed up.
They really should be
S.H.I.T.
That was the first word out of my mouth
when I opened the pattern and saw little half square triangles and then I flipped the pattern over
and took another look at the name... yeah, I am certain there was a mix up with the letters!

Ok, that being said, it really wasn't bad at all. See- I managed to make it
even though I am working and spending the same amount of time in a ICU!
I know you all will have no problem at all getting it done!
Really.

There was a question about the button... so I thought I would explain...
If you don't have our button but would like to put it on your sidebar...
here it is. There isn't a code for it though, you can just link it to
either one of our blogs, Sherri's A Quilting Life or mine.
Also,
Here are a couple of our wonderful featured quilt shops
that have the Schnibbles patterns available for you.

I have a link on my sidebar of the featured quilt shops also. 


(their web site is under construction right now)


I am excited to say that
Green Fairy Quilts is our newest featured quilt shop.

Sherri will have the list of prize winners over at her blog today.

Congratulations to the winners and congrats to everyone who played this month!

My Special Assignment

As you can see, I couldn't even wait to take a picture before
I unwrapped this gorgeous bundle!
It's the new line of fabric by 3 Sisters.
I haven't seen a 3 Sisters group that I didn't like. This one
is no exception. I wonderful palate of cream, brown, blue, red and pink.
I get to make a shop sample with these and the little pattern that came with the bundle.
It's all half square triangles. I think you can even
download the pattern at the United Notions web site.
(the pattern shows a really slick way of making the HST's, so it should make up pretty fast)
Ah, so nice.
I haven't gotten to make a shop sample for anyone in a while...
so I really appreciated being asked!

Also, I am happy to say that the hubs is making wonderful
progress this week in his recovery.
So, this really is a great week!

Sherri and I are getting lots of pictures of finished Full House tops for AYOS!
It is going to be a great parade!
If you are playing along... 
Don't forget to email one of us a picture and a link to your post showing your project.
