Sunday Stash {26.08.2013}

Bluebird Park. What can I say about it except…..LOVE IT!!! I purchased this adorable bundle from Stash Modern Fabrics off Etsy.com. The line is by Kate & Birdie Paper co. for Moda.

I love the color palette, with the linen color, grey, turquoise, orange, yellow and green.Bluebird_Park_FatQuarterStack

The prints are adorable.. I think my favorites are the bicycles with the balloons and the park print. Here are the light and dark neutrals, yellows and greens.BluebirdPark_Neutrals

Look at the hedgehogs and the bunnies in the prints. Here are the turquoise and orange color ways.BluebirdPark_BluesOranges

Road 15 Postage Stamp Pillow

I hope you all had a good weekend. Even though we had 4 boys (all 6 years old) camp over last night, I managed to finish the Road 15 postage stamp pillow. I am so pleased with the finish – most of the squares are  lined up, and I love the straight lined quilting.

Finish it up Friday: Postage Stamp Pillow

This will be a very quick post today, as I prepare for my son’s 6th birthday camping party (in the backyard).

I have finished sewing all 10 rows of the postage stamp pillow using 2.5 x 2.5 ” squares of Road 15 mini charms by Sweetwater for Moda and Bella solid cotton mini charm.
