I went and visited my cousin in DeKalb, Illinois, and dragged her into a quilt shop. As it turned out, she found an applique pattern that she fell in love with and bought. She's started on the tracing of the fusible web, and is in the process of gathering the perfect fabrics! :) Me on the other hand, I bought some fabric (Spirit by Lila Tueller for Moda, and a few coordinates).





And then a "patternlet" by The Wooden Bear Quilt Designs. It's a penguin on a hand towel. I couldn't resist going through my stash when I got home and making one! He's super easy and super cute!!! And it helps that I found a great place for hand towels and the white flour towels as well! I love his beady little eyes.....

Look for another blog soon! I'm headed to New York City this coming Tuesday and Wednesday and have plans to visit the City Quilter!!! :)
