Wherever you are I hope you've not been getting the crazy heat we have here in the Cleveland area! The past few days have been in the 90's with high humidity making me incredibly grateful I am spoiled with AC! As is the story these days I have been hard at work on the book but with some more fabric arrived some yummy patterns I just adore!

They are from Art Gallery Fabric. If you can stop staring at the beautiful covers and peek inside the directions seem simple and easy to follow. My First Playmat is brilliant. A safe, clean quilted mat for baby to play on and later on, learn shapes and matching. I have 4 friends expecting in the spring and I figured I need to get an early start on gifts. This with a few embroidered onesies and WOW personal gifts with style!

The Toybox is so cute and smart. Not only could it be used as a toybox, as suggested, but I can imagine making a few of these to house some of my samples, finished quilts or blankets and sleeping bags when not being used.

Next week brings a much needed trip to my east coast family and friends. I'm so looking forward to it! As you can guess, I'll have pictures and stories galore!
