I’ll hopefully be back with a project update after the weekend. I need to come down from my pie/fabric shopping coma 🙂 But I thought I’d let you know about something fun in the meantime…
I’m not a huge prints girl, but it was love at first sight when I saw Dowry from Anna Maria Horner. I was trying to decide what to buy when I saw that Nancy from owen’s oliva was hosting a dowry charm swap! I’m so excited that I signed up for 2 spots. Such a great way to get a sampling of all the prints. I already have a project in mind!
There’s still a few spots left if you want to join in! Read about the details here.
Hope you have a great weekend! I’m planning on a hike, some karaoke at the local dive bar, and of course, some sewing.

that is a great set of fabric to swap! I think i’m just going to have to save for my favorites and get yardage, though. =) hope you get lots of good stuff.
Michelle says
I just received my fabrics for the swap and they are beautiful!
Definitely worth getting some yardage. I was surprised at the scale of
the prints though. Not what I was expecting. Probably just didn’t pay
much attention when ordering 🙂

Too bad it’s for the US only 🙁
Not that i really need anymore, my mom just picked up most of the entire line for me for Christmas!! (Not that that would stop me from joining the swap if i could!)
What are your plans when you get them??!! I can’t wait to get started in on my stack!
Michelle says
Oh yah 🙁 I forgot it was US only. I’m so excited that you are getting some for Christmas though. Yay!!! My half-aunt just announced she’s pregnant so at least some of it will be for a baby quilt (if the baby’s a girl). I’m hoping it is because Dowry fits her style perfectly. I also have another friend who recently had a baby that I think it would be great for. Seriously, everyone I know is having babies, so I could just make baby quilts forever and alway have someone to give them to. 🙂
