Good to be home...

We've got some catching up to do! I've been home only one out of the past 5 weeks and had the granddaughters here that one week at home. It is good to be home and I hope to have something to show soon!


My husband and I just returned from a great vacation in Charleston, SC and Savannah, Ga. Am I the only one who looks for quilt shops first thing when arriving in a new city? I've been on the lookout for some modern shops especially, since they seem few and far between. My favorite was Fabrika in historic Savannah. Catering to the local students of Savannah College of Art and Design, it was filled with plenty of inspiration. I had to laugh when a student came in the shop to buy fabric for a project that was due at 4:00 that day! College students never change!

Here's a bit of my stash from the trip. I've been collecting washi tape - don't know what to do with it - but I love it. Any ideas?
I got back just in time to attend Saturday's sew-in with our STLMQG. I quilted this baby quilt that my daughter had pieced. We're donating it to our local Crisis Nursery.
I tried a new quilting design which you can see better from the back. It's from a new book, "Modern Quilting Designs", filled with tons of easy, good-looking patterns.

I came home to lots of bloom in the garden!
I had to share with you this perfectly formed bleeding heart. It made me think of Joyce Kilmer's poem, "poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree"... or a bleeding heart.
I'll be back soon! I've been tagged twice!
