How about a Really Quick Quilt???

If you are looking for a really quick quilt...
this one is perfect!
It is called Lickety Split...
and can actually be made in less than a day.
It takes 2 Charm Packs
1 Jelly Rolly
and 2 1/4 yards of fabric...
which takes care of the border and binding.
I designed this
for my customers out there
who have been collecting charm packs
and jelly rolls...
and needed a great easy pattern
to use them with.
It helps really build one's
skill on placing value and
scale
throughout a quilt.
It finishes to be a twin size...
so is perfect
for a college kid...
or any other kid!!
To order the pattern...
Click Here!! 

Also...make sure to check out
Fabric Tuesdays
over at 
 Quilt Story

We are busily setting up our booth
here in DesMoine. 


So until later....

Headed to AQS's Des Moine Quilt Festival

What a week it has been!
I drove down to St George last Sunday night...
thinking I was only going to be gone for one night.

I needed to finish my new 
Meet Me Under the Mistletoe 
pattern.
Finally yesterday morning...
I trekked it back home.
I spent hours 
at Barnes and Noble...
fine tuning...
re-writing...
touching up drawings...
My sweet daughter in law Melissa
stopped by with the little ones...

Kiera polished off my Cream Puff...

Baby Ryan was asleep in the stroller...
But not for long!
So right now....
Kenny Roy is loading up the car...
I'm finishing up my computer work...
and we are headed to Des Moine
to one of our biggest shows of the year.

This next month is going to be horrific.
There's no other word for it.

We head home from Des Moine next Sunday...
we have 2 days to make it home.
Tuesday morning...
first thing...7 a.m.
I pick up my youngest daughter...
from
JAIL!
(Story coming....)
and we hop in the car
and head for Mancuso's
Pacific International Quilt Show
in Santa Clara CA.

We come home
and have two weeks...
to get ready for Quilt Festival in Houston...
and we have to have the house
completely packed up
and moved out from!

Prayers Needed!!

The husband is telling me...
to get in the car...

Toodles....
