Purple, Yellow and Orange
Purple, yellow and orange? Who would have thought these are carrots! I’ve been munching away all weekend on yellow and purple carrots! They are yummy! Amazing thing, when you bite into the purple carrot it’s purple on the outside and orange in the center! Heirloom carrots? Maybe! Farmer’s market carrots for sure and those farmers are pretty smart. Wouldn’t Peter Rabbit love these?
Yesterday Margot from The Pattern Basket emailed to tell me she she designed a quilt using my Lily & Will fabric! I was so excited because I love everything that Margot does. She has a great style and sense of design and it was such an honor to have her use my fabric for a pattern! Isn’t it cute? It’s called “For Baby With Love” and what baby wouldn’t just love this quilt? Woooo Hooo Margot! Thank you so much!
I’m still waiting to hear when Lily & Will is shipping. Last I heard, some of it was in the Moda warehouse and the rest is coming any day! I would love to be in customs when my fabric comes through but then containers of Lily & Will just might make me faint. I’d be giddy for sure!
I’m working on so much right now I can hardly keep it all straight. Deadlines are looming over me this week, not to mention a newsletter for all of you on the 5th! And on top of it all Bitsy turns 15 on October 7th! She’s a Libra just like me! No wonder we get along so well.
I’ll be back in a few days with the next Snowbound block. Wait, better send me a reminder so I don’t forget.

I have been on pins and needles to see the Night Before Christmas….. FQS just posted it on Facebook. I was thrilled and rushed right over here to see if I had missed something. It is adorable, but then all of your patterns are!!

When I read your post a few days ago about Lily & Will II, I ran right out to my local quilt store & bought the charm pack for Lily & Will I before it was gone. It’s so adorable & I love the green squares. Glad I knew to hurry up & get it before it was gone.

Yummy delicious looking carrots! I really like the quilt Margot designed for Willi and Lil line, especially that scalloped border.

Oh, she did a great job on the quilt. Love the bow.
Neat carrots. That should make it fun for kids to eat.

The baby quilt is really cute!
Birthday cuddles for Bitsy! Maybe not a Great Dane, but certainly a Grand Dame!

I love the baby quilt pattern. I am planning to make a baby quilt out of your Lily and Will line and I’m thinking this will be my first choice.

Happy Birthday to Bitsy! I’ve been excitedly waiting for your Twas the Night Before Christmas quilt pattern!! Can’t wait to see it.

Anne, The quilt Margot designed with Lily and Will is just beautiful. I can’t wait to see what YOU are designing too! My gosh, Bitsy is 15!!! Give her a birthday belly rub for me. My mother was also a Libra, October 17th. Try to maintain your sanity while you struggle with deadlines and look for the light at the end of the tunnel, okay? Hugs…

Hi Anne:
I just love what Margot did with your fabric. It’s wonderful! I’d be celebrating just thinking about a whole, glorious shipment of your fabric, too! Hurray!!!

I once heard that carrots were originally purple but bred orange for the Dutch royal family The Houjse of Orange.

Why do I get the feeling there is a quilt in your future with purple, yellow, and orange carrots???
