As y’all saw in this post, I have a ridiculous amount of fabric. So, I’ve limited myself to buying only 10 yards for the rest of the year. Considering that I have a bazillion projects in the works, that’s a very small amount. I’ve already bought 3 yards to finish out a quilt for Peanut. So, 7 yards left. And I might use all of it on Sandi Henderson’s new line Secret Garden. It comes out in just a few weeks. Here’s my favorite colorway:

In organizing all of my fabric, I realized how much of Sandi’s fabric I have. This definitely puts her at #1 on my list of fabric designers. If you’re interested in seeing the rest of her collection, you can find it at her blog here.
I have 2 quilt tops done that need to be photographed. I’ll try to get around to that…. which means that I have to clean up my office enough to hang them and take a picture. Yeah…. that may be awhile.

Hmm. I’m getting ready to start my first ever quilt, for GeekBaby’s big boy bed. Any tips for a beginner?
(Who’d have thunk it? Me asking you for sewing tips!)

You are still the expert in sewing clothes! I have only made 3 pairs of pj pants. One was too big. One was waaaay too small. The other was just right. (The 3 little pigs must have been helping me that day.) Look at my linky list and try Oh Frannson. She has some great tutorials for beginners. I’d also look at Cluck Cluck Sew. Good luck!

For pj pants with plenty of room in the posterior, try Simplicity 9330 and note, they run large. Every year I’m harassed about making these for birthdays and Christmas by my mother and sister. They are favorites.
They’re also so much easier to whip out with my new machine! My mother in law gave me her old Bernina!

Oooh, I LOVE Sandi! I think she is my #1 right now. I have a little of each line and just bough some more Meadowsweet 2. Thinking about making a king size quilt (yep, I’m crazy) for our bed using Camille’s Swoon pattern with all Sandi fabric. This line is definitely worth sacrificing part of your 7 yds!

I just saw a few quilts with the Swoon pattern — and I swooned! (Swaned? Swuned? What’s the past tense of that?) I think a quilt like that would be fabulous!
