Happy (Early) Thursday!

Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday a little early, y'all!  I'm heading out to dinner this evening for my birthday so I'm posting a little earlier than usual. We took our wild thing to his very first summer camp away from home on Sunday, so we decided to postpone my birthday dinner to take advantage of not needing a sitter.  We won't get to pick him up until Saturday morning.  It's 2.5 hours away, and a totally unplugged experience, so although the camp posts plenty of photos, I haven't had any contact with him at all.  This is the longest I have ever been away from him, and I'm really missing him!

I have been getting a lot of sewing done in my brand new sewing room though!  I've been working on a baby quilt with a tutorial for the Fort Worth Fabric Studio Blog's Sew Baby tutorial series.  I can't share it with you until June 24th, but I know you're going to love it!


Up next for me is something I will be able to share though.  I just got this bundle of Anna Maria Horner's Dowry collection, and I'll be using these to make a quilt for my mom!  Aren't those colors and prints fabulous? I always love how AMH's fabrics look like they are collected from treasured vintage finds, yet play together so perfectly.  I can't wait to cut into them!

By the way, I've created a feature button for the party.  If you're featured this week, or if you have been featured in the past, feel free to grab button for your sidebar!

Last week's party was amazing!  I know I say that all the time, but it's true!  You all inspire me each and every week-  And I have to say, I really feel like I run out of ways to express that.  So, let's get down to the highlights!

If you missed this quilt from Lori at Crossquilt, you should definitely check it out.  Lori is a friend from my local MQG, and I had the privilege of seeing this one in person!



Thread Everywhere linked up this pretty picnic quilt.  The colors are so lovely against that blue sky!


and Charlotte's gRACE for a Cure shared this awesomely mod baby quilt!

  12. Happy Birthday Kelly!

    Summer is the best time of the year for birthdays (I'm biased). And try not to miss your son too much. He is probably far too busy having a whale of a time to miss you.

    Lucky you, new sewing room! Plenty of space for you to make an extra special quilt for your mum.

    I have started a new weekend linky for FMQ fans and shall be sticking to your example of visiting everyone who links up. Haven't totally mastered how to organise a weekly link up yet though... you'll see what I mean!

    Love from hot and sunny(!) England,
