I think I might have a problem.
I can't stop buying Japanese tape. Masking tape, shipping tape, scrap-booking tape. Gotta have it all!

Inspiration: Sujata Shah
A couple days ago, Sujata from the Root Connection did a feature on her blog about my quilts. What an honor! I've been admiring her quilts through flickr as well and decided to return the love. A girl who loves color, does strippy circles and stripey stripe quilts from reclaimed materials is a girl after my own heart! She also designs patterns! My favorite design that she has a pattern for is Wagon Wheels.

Making: Fun with Linen and Denim
Since I was dealing with a disaster in my bath-tub, I decided to make something fun.
I hand-dyed some linen curtain remnants, mixed it with a natural linen and threw in some denim as sashing. It's soft and wonderful. And it worked, now I'm happier!

I have been loving these "work" quilts by Victoria Gertenbach (aka the Silly Boo Dilly) since I noticed them on Flickr. They look so wonderfully tactile. And then I saw her post on her newest series of small quilts. Totally love them! I love quilts that incorporate and feature old fabrics and all their "flaws." So, now I get to brag, I am the lucky new owner of Rural Roads! Here is a picture of it, hanging in a place of great honor behind my sewing machine and above a baby picture of my grandfather. I love, love, love it!
