Two posts in one day? My quilt sandwich is ready! Aren't the elephants the cutest? I think I am going to make a small test quilt sandwich first before I start on the real thing. So, I had to drive all over a few cities today to find the right darning foot for my machine. Finally I found one at Hancock Fabrics, who knew that a darning foot cost $25? Not me. I'm glad I found it though.
Of course I had to look at fabric, I mean I drove 20 minutes to get to the store :) When I saw this handerchief fabric, I snatched it off the shelf like someone was going to steal it away from me. I am completely smitten over this fabric, I absolutely love it. I bought two yards of it, and when I payed, happily it was on sale! In the picture it is folded in half, so you are seeing a yard, would'nt it make the cutest quilt? Actually it would make alot of cute things. I think I am sad I did'nt buy more, maybe I'll have to make another trip.
Now I'm off to figure out this machine quilting thing!

Oh my. The handkerchief fabric is an EXACT match to a Cynthia Rowley duvet cover from Target about 7 years ago. I only know that because I had it on my daughters bed for 4 years...until a couple of the handkerchiefs wore away. It is waiting for me to repair it. Oh how I wish I could find this fabric myself. This gave me hope though.
Im new to your blog!

I collect vintage hankies and have tons, but dont seem to be able to cut them to use!!!
