Anna Maria Horner arrived today…okay, not the actual woman but some of her Folksy Flannel fabric did show up and I am singing the praises of her designs. I cannot wait to dive into these stacks. I ordered 2 fat quarter stacks that will be made into the girls’ new comforters, as well as 2 yards of 2 of the prints to be made into new pillowcases. I’m in-love with it all!
After seeing the tied quilts from Amanda over at SouleMama, and Nicole from Frontier Dreams, I knew I had to follow suit. The patterns and colors are going to go perfectly with the color of paint we chose for the girls’ walls – a deep coral. The flannel is so thick and soft that I cannot imagine these blankets being anything other than cozy. I picked up batting made from recycled 2L bottles for each and the flannel for the backings from the local quilt shop that I have a feeling I’ll be spending alot of time in. Just walking into the store is like a breath of fresh air. It is a “green” store, so they take the environment very seriously and refuse to sell synthetics other than the recycled batting. I love it!
I can hear my sewing machine working overtime this weekend!
Do you have any crafty plans for the weekend?
Peace!
shrriiieeeeeekkkkk!!!! I am so excited for you! I am actually workign on a duvet cover for Kaulini's bed out of the pinks from the flannel line and making her pillow case out of the same pink you are using for Lolas <3 They'll have matching pillows!!! <3 <3 Can't wait to see!!!
I am so envious of people who sew; it's just not a hobby I'm willing to take on. Kudos and beautiful fabric. I can't wait to see the results.
Hi, Cat, I'm experiencing fabric envy as I look at these wonderful designs by Anna Maria Horner! I'm glad you sent me the link so I could see your nice blog and the picture you told me about! Love, Beth
