22 Pounds...

If your thinking this is a post about some fabulous weight loss...
Forget it, it didn't happen here.
Actually I gained 22 pounds.
Most people would likely not, be so proud of that accomplishment,
but for me, it's a great thing!
Not for my thighs of course, but for my fabric diet!
LOL!!
This weight gain was in products, given  to me by...
My Fed Ex man came early. I was still asleep, when he left this
 box of  new fabrics and goodies on my steps!
With this being my 3rd year as an ambassador for "Island Batik"
I thought I knew what to expect, but 
this time they were "BIG" boxes!
Really BIG boxes.
With a surprise tucked inside.
Do they know how to spoil us!
New lines of fabrics, and goodies galore.
Wowzier wowzier wowzier...
We gonna have some fun this year!

A big thanks goes out to "Hobbs" batting and "Auriful" thread for their addition to our boxes.
I've long been a fan of "Hobbs" battings, and "Thermore" in particular.
It's a very thin polyester batting that quilts up perfectly flat.
I hang quilts of every size and there is not a wave in site, when I use "Theremore" batting.
Ask my Quilt Club gals about the case of Thermore batting I bought at Quilt Festival!
Hauling a case of batting down the street...
it wasn't pretty, but I got it to the hotel.
Just for the record, it's not a legal carryon size with the airlines either!
hahahahahaha
:-)

As for thread...
what can I say...
Nothing pieces as nicely as "Aurifil".
I've tried them all, and the proof is in the pudding as they say!
Gorgeous colors, perfect piecing and multiple weights...
Oh ya, stitching bliss!
;-)
New Ambassadors...
New challenges...
New fabrics...

I just NEW know
your not going to want to miss a one.
12 months of inspiration is coming your way.
:-)
See you next week with my 
and
projects!
Yes, I broke right into those wonderful fabrics!

til next time...

Put a Little Love in Your Quilt Blog Hop

Thanks Carol for challenging us to all "Put a Little Love" 
in our projects this month!
Mine has a double scoop of "love" in it.
The pattern  "Jungle Walk" from Harebrained Happenings, 
was designed as a comfort quilt for cancer patients and survivors.
These silly little critters are bound to lift any ones spirits a bit.
Roller skates on an Ostrich!
Can you just see someone you know, in socks and sandals?
LOL!
You've got to know some kid who would hang from a tree and taunt you!
I sure do.
  A hippo in ballet slippers???
A turtle in work boots.
(I may or may not have worked with someone like this before)
A Zebra in UGGs...in any ski area I'm sure.
Every Giraffe should have high heels
and every snake should skateboard! 
But a Crocodile in crocs???
Or a Lion in tennis shoes
Stock Show was just in town, I'm sure there had to be a leopard walkin around
in cowboy boots. Heaven knows everyone else in town was.
Whether it's spats or bunny slippers... Every elephant should have em.
And every Flamingo should have high heel saddle shoes!
(for those old enough to remember what they are)
LOL!!
There's a little pink heart in each block.
Something for everyone to "love" on.
If you are loving this, you can see more fun designs, from
"Harebrained Happenings"
