WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT {A STITCHERY PROJECT}

All too often my brain just won't turn off!

You know the drill...
toss...
turn...
stare at the ceiling..
toss some more...
stare at the clock...
think about how you need to get some sleep...
toss some more.

Well the other night,
I just gave in to the insomnia:

A GLAMPING WE WILL GO QUILT {A FINISHED PROJECT}

So in between hosting family,

taking care of sick loved ones, a program at school,

and unpacking a house,

I was able to finish the 

Glamping project that I started over here.

CHARMING STARS QUILT {GETS A TWIN SISTER}

{Update: Link should be working now!}

I met Mary of  the Tulip Patch

at Quilt Market.

She is a fellow contributor to the

Sweet Celebrations With Moda Bake Shop Chefs book.

GLAMPING {STARTING A NEW PROJECT}

So

remember when I showed you my fabric crush...Glamping by Mary Jane?

 I just couldn't let it sit there!

After bedtime reading,

{Digression: I love that Little Person now reads to me! We/he is reading

Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. 

So good to hear/read a classic.}

Now back to the subject:

I pulled out my Bella Solids and started to match 

fabric to the Glamping precuts.

FABRIC CRUSH {GLAMPING BY MARY JANE BUTTERS}

Have you met GLAMPING?

Glamping is the debut line from Mary Jane Butters for Moda Fabrics.

She mixes glamour and camping in this fabric line

and it is available in our SHOP!

HEARTS A FLUTTER TABLE RUNNER { A CHARM PACK TUTORIAL}

HEARTS A FLUTTER TABLE RUNNER

FINISHED SIZE: 13 1/2" x 49 1/2"

 Valentine's Day is just around the corner

so I created another quick project that can be completed in a weekend. 

It is Charm Pack friendly project. For this project I used Flirt by Sandy Gervais.
(It is now available in my SHOP)

 I also used an "old school" method to make the fabric hearts.

IT'S AMAZING...

It's amazing

what you can get done when 

you have a little time to yourself!

{MY WEEK IN AN INSTANT}

Another busy week has flown by...

and now we are 

in the MIDDLE of January!

How did that happen?

Anyway,

I thought that I would share some of the photos

of my week

that I shared on INSTAGRAM

(yep, I love Instagram! You can find me at
LilLdyPatchwork on Instagram)

First,

there was the Sock Hop at Little Person's school:

Sorry about the blurry photo 

but it was hard to

get a decent photo with all of the excitement

that was going on!

Then,

there was the rain spell...like 10 days in a row

of constant pouring rain!

I literally wore my rain boots everyday for the past 10 days!

There was so much rain

that I had "a river and 3 lakes"

in my front yard!

Well..then today the rain brought

SNOW!

Yep...you read that right...snow in Mississippi!

Not much snow..but enough snow to cancel school for the day.

For the past month

Little Person has been "asking" and "begging" for snow,

well he got his wish:

So we had a huge snowball fight, made snow angels, and drank hot chocolate.

We loved every minute of it!

Oh yeah,

while I was stuck indoors,

I did a little stitching...more on that later.

Until Next Time...Happy Quilting
