I just wanted to post to let everyone know that I haven't gone away or been suffocated under sheets or anything. I've been working on a couple of posts for Sew, Mama, Sew's Summer Sewing Month. Check SMS next week for my sea life applique patterns and machine applique tutorial. ETA: Here is the first post.
Cake Rock Beach fabric looks perfect for that project! I will be checking out SMS for sure!

Looks beautiful. I will check sms as well.
I just saw a little jelly fish. Well it was a litte stuffed jelly fish hanging from a car rear view mirror.
After dinner my husband and I walking through the neighborhood and I spotted the little jelly fish and said I can make that.
It was really cute!

Thanks for the inspiration! I've been puzzling over what colors to use with that particular cake rock beach blue "solar print' in a quilt for a while now - the gray tones really complement it well.

Ok, I have to tell you I am in love with your minky animal creations. I had an idea to make an applique sheep quilt, and after seeing your animals I wanted to make it out of minky. The lady at the quilt store was so mean when I told her what I planned to do and she basically said "well we have no guarantees on our fabric if you mess it up, you stupid little girl with crazy ideas" so thank you thank you thank you for your fabulous tutorials!
Oh, and I LOVE this quilt. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

My god you're prolific. Every time I visit your site you have a new project up. The applique is super cute. I love how the back legs of the octopus are a darker color.

Thanks so much for the work basket tutorial. I found a chocolate brown and white pin-striped sheet at a thrift shop recently. I've just decided I'll make a basket for the "bits and bobs" I need for my first patchwork workshop in a couple of weeks. Yippee.
