Challenge Accepted!

This week was a great week.  Why you ask?  I received a sweet little package of some beautiful fabrics in the mail from Henry Glass Fabrics.  I am so excited and honored to have been asked to join their Desire to Inspire Challenge.  This challenge is meant to get people sewing more, using your creativity, and working with what you are given.  You can read more about the Desire to Inspire challenge here.

So, this week I was surprised with this beautiful bundle of fabrics to work with.




Sweet Land of Liberty by Color Principle for Henry Glass Fabrics

And here are the blocks I have completed so far:

pattern: RBD February Mystery BOM

pattern: Bee In My Bonnet Houses from her Row-Along

pattern: My own (worked out perfectly with 13 stripes in the right order, huh?)

In other news to add to a great week, my daughter recently turned 22 (Happy Birthday baby girl), found out she only has two more electives to complete after this semester to graduate with an Associates Degree, applied to University of Houston Clear Lake, and is considering working towards her Masters (after she gets her Bachelors of course).  She's going to make an awesome teacher.  

Well that's all I have for today.  Hope you all have a great week!

      Oh Heidi, I hope you get chosen. It's so fun to be creative with what you are given instead of what you choose.
