I've been watching the clock....tick tock, tick tock....
...Just waiting for midnight to strike so I could share this post.
So without further adieu....
I bring
ME
to
YOU!
ME
to
YOU!
Debuting my new red glasses (I only wish my real ones sparkled...maybe next time).
How 'bout those danglers...I'm talking about the earrings...what were you thinking?
All of our 'kidees' insisted on being part of this project.
How could I say no?
Jaxson with his very own mousie pincushion and Marvin with his thimble...
Lookie look...I even found a shiney little mouse 'hair comb'
(yikes what happened with this close up? I think I need a change of moisturizer!)
It was a challenge to find fabrics that would work for this project. I was determined to use only stripes and plaids that would really show off the "Bias" theme.
I raided my stash...ok, you're right...I own a quilt shop - I have a LOT of stash, but really and truly with the exception of a few of pieces, it all came from my personal booty!
That gold and red check that became "Jaxson" is from South Seas Imports and about a hundred years old (ok, maybe not that old...but it's at least 15yrs if it's a day)...the teal stripe (background) and purple/green stripe (border) and "Marvin" fab - those fabrics are part of my special treasures...left behind given to me by Jan Mullen when she taught at our shop many years ago-I use them sparingly! But I think my absolute favorite is my dress - that is so me...when I'm on a quilt that is - one of my favorite oldie but goldies from Free Spirit.
I am really REALLY pleased with how this turned out....over 25+ hours of planning and searching and cuttin' and fusin' and stitchin' and re-stitchin' (oops...not going there with this post)....
but worth every minute!
And.....every smile!
Twins?
I think maybe yes!
Especially if you compare noses!
This "All About Me" wouldn't be complete without one very special girl...I think you know who I mean...yes, I'm talking about sweet Maggie...you can't see her, but trust me, she's there.
Keep tuned in because in the coming days, we'll take a closer look at this little quilt and the 'KiDees' that inspired it! Learn who's who...discover the secret of Willy (yep, he'd be the re-stitchin we're not going to talk about this time, lol) and find out where Maggie's hiding...maybe you can already guess...she's still always close to my heart!
