Weeks Dye Works Wool
I’m in love with the wool from Weeks Dye Works. If you’ve looked at my website lately you probably already know that. Our wool section is filled with fat quarters from Weeks and we’ve bundled together our favorites to give you assorted colors to choose from. I add a few more colors to our selection almost every time I place an order with Weeks because I can’t help myself. Let’s face it, wool is expensive. I hate it when prices go up so I’m giving you advance notice…Weeks is raising their prices for this beautiful wool September 10th and we’ll have to increase prices too. A fat quarter of wool…

Junior Layer Cakes
What can you do with a layer cake? If it happens to be a Junior Layer Cake from Windsor Lane you can really have some fun! Junior layer cakes have 20 fabrics 10″ x 10″ and they are perfect for our Petite patterns! 1 Junior layer cake = 10 petites or more! I love these layer cakes because they’re affordable ($22.00) and they’re packaged by color. Can you choose a favorite color? “Lily” was made from a Windsor Lane layer cake. You’ll get two squares of each fabric in a layer cake so you can make her the same on both sides, or for more variety try using two…

Scraps Anyone?
Do you like to make scrap quilts? We’ve just added scrap bags from “Ooh La La” to our website! Assorted strips of yummy fabric all in one bag for just $10.00.

I’m spending the weekend working on new designs and watching my favorite recorded shows… Project Runway, Suits, Political Animals etc. Will you get some sewing/TV time this weekend? Have…

Stone Bridge
We spent two days in Regensburg, Germany. If you ever get the chance to visit Germany, Regensburg is a town to see. To think that you can walk across the Danube River on a cobblestone bridge during the 1100’s! Regensburg was spared during the war so the buildings are old and very charming. We saw marks on many of the old buildings showing the water line from flooding over the years. Many water lines were over my head and yet these beautiful buildings still stand with such charm. The view from the old stone bridge is incredible. Look what was waiting for us on the other side… Cobblestone streets and…

“Bird Legs”
It was at the zoo in Augsburg, Germany that I discovered the true meaning of the words “bird legs”. Stranger things have happened I’m sure, but for me this guy gets the prize. Sunbathing has never been so good. Enjoy your Monday! Hugs, Anne

Germany, A Quick Trip
I’ve been in Germany for the past week visiting Lily! I know I just saw her in June, but when the opportunity came up to travel at the last-minute I took it! That’s why I’ve been so quiet on the home front. I had good intentions of blogging from there but of course it didn’t happen. This is Lily back in June when she turned 1-year-old. This her just 2 months later. She’s growing up so fast I can’t believe it. Look at how long the curls are getting! She’s traveling here at Christmas so I don’t have to wait to long to see her again. She’s learning to speak…
