So stinkin’ cute!
October 10th, 2008
I just can’t stop gushing over this DARLING kit I bought in Jen’s etsy shop. When I received it, I thougt no way can I cut into this… must leave adorable kit intact. After a few days of opening and closing the tin’s lid… fondling the contents - I took a deep breath and got out my scissors. I thought I heard the fabric let out a quiet scream, but soon realized it was just gasping for air (let me out, let me out). Jen’s kit was so put together, she even added a precious little needlebook. I feel like I hit the mother-load of all things cute and kit’y. And Jen even snuck in a few pieces of Minny Muu!
I dove in with my handy dandy yo-yo maker, and decided once the yo-yo was made I couldn’t see enough of the gorgeous Swell fabric (you know, Swell… by the Urban Chicks… yes, those Urban Chicks… Pam’s friends). Anyhoo… I decided I wanted to see more of the Swell, and took a stab at making some hexes. I have those nice big hex plastic “patties”, but they were gianormus. Enter thought bubble over my head. Now a light bulb. Now me squirming. I have to pee, I’ll be right back. Back to thought bubble. Question mark. Light bulb back on. AH HA. I can finally use my Darlene Zimmerman hex tool and make my own from thin plastic. Now thought bubble turns to wavey dreamy remembering blur seeing on Pam’s blog she had all the info about the ruler. Ding sound. Elbow cupped in my hand while my other hand rubs my chin. Yes, yes… Pam’s done all the work writing about it, why duplicate it?!
So I wasn’t quite done with my kit, and it hangs on my design wall waiting to be bound. I’m stumped as to what color fab to bind it in. I fear red will make it look Valentiney, and the aqua is too hard to match… so I’m still in audition mode. [Thought bubble… WWPKMD?]
Seeing Pam’s post, and seeing that Nanette and Jenny have also gotten Jen’s kit (and that Doe needs reviving, and maybe Laurie too)… I knew I had to shout from the roof-tops, that dang it… I must have kick ass good taste! Oh, and that I’m also lazy.
PS… speaking of Laurie, if I’m not too late… a little someone-someone needs a new home.

October 10th, 2008You just have the cutest stuff! I LOVE that Russian doll on your wall - she is adorable! (Yes, I know she’s a matryoshka - but I don’t think I ever spell it right). And those hexes from the kit are adorable.
October 10th, 2008You are too funny with the visuals! I can just see the thought bubble and hear the ding! Lovely kit! But I am sure you girls scooped them all up!
October 10th, 2008How cute did that turn out! Glad you showed your pictures. And WWPKMD.. YOU’RE KILLING ME.

October 11th, 2008Ha, how funny that just the week I made hexes from my swell charm pack. I love them so much, I wish I had more of that fabric kicking around. (They are still the top blog post, wish I had know about these nifty hex tools!)

October 11th, 2008For cryin’ out loud…post a warning on things like this! Someone could get hurt from the cuteness.
October 11th, 2008Oh my gosh! I favorite Jen’s kit. Now I really have to get one. That hex quilt is so cute!!
October 12th, 2008Seriously what could be cuter!!! Now I’m rethinking mine since I’m newly into hexies. Monica this is so cute. It will give me strength to cut into my Jen kit! I’ll be back to study this.
October 12th, 2008I saw that kit on Nanette’s blog, and went to buy one, but all you girls had purchased them already! I think I’ll cry now - sniff, sniff! All done! Your quilt top is to die-for cuteness! You are such a talented woman, woman!
October 13th, 2008Oh so cute! I think the green in those fabrics, would make a cah-ute binding. I’ve been seein those kits pop up everywhere, they are adorable!ooxx`jodi

October 20th, 2008Oh my goodness, that red and white embroidered quilt that there’s just the teaser of in the middle picture is divine! I just found your blog, so I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it previously… is there a pattern? Did you make it yourself? I’m totally in love with it!
