~The Pioneer Woman~

I was so excited to find out the The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond was actually coming to Ohio for her 2011 Book Tour!  My sister Becky and I knew we must go, so we set off Saturday morning and stood in line at the Barnes and Noble for 5hours along with 500+ other PW fans and got our cook books and love story signed!

 I must say she was just lovely in person and so friendly!  She had a smile on her face the entire time and was happy to sign the books and get pictures taken with her fans!

 This is my sister Becky!

 This is me!

 

My sister and I had so much fun it was definitely worth the wait!

Hope you are having a happy Monday!

Birdie Stitches

I could hardly stand it when I found the Birdie Stitches Block of the Month by Little Miss Shabby! I am a little behind but I knew there would be plenty of time to catch up! 

You can find all of the information on her blog.

Starting with Block #1 for January you can find the pattern here.

You can find the supply list here!

I choose Meadowsweet 2 by Sandi Henderson for my fabrics I still need to get the

solid for the sashing I am thinking a nice grey color.

Check out everyones blocks in the flickr pool.

I hope to finish Block #2 for February tonight!

Happy Valentines day to all.

DQS10 It Started with a Sketch........

I was so excited I made it in to this round for the Doll Quilt Swap 10. I got my partner info and the ideas began to flow! I sketched out my design and I am so pleased that it has transformed on to the fabric even better than I planned.

 I love color so I knew it had to be colorful.

 Trying something new!  I found tons of cute "quilt sayings"

This one just spoke to me.

 I had so much fun with the minis last round I knew I had to add at least one to this quilt!

Pieced thread spool with needle.

 Scrappy Patches...

Now all I need is the binding, which will be the black & white dotty print.

I loves seeing what everyone else comes up with for this swap!

Hope you are enjoying your January!

Kindle Covers

The hubby got me a Kindle for Christmas! Which is funny because it was not long ago I said I thought the whole e reader concept was silly!  I have since (in the last 2 weeks)  read 7 books and I can not put the thing down!  I thought I would make some cute covers to house my new Kindle and I am having lots of fun in the process! I am still perfecting my design but I think the blue is my favorite style so far!

If you are interested in me making a custom cover for you feel free to email me at boutiquenutmegdesigns@hotmail.com.  I am asking $25.00 + S&H.

The fabric possibilities are endless....

Have you seen the new Soul Blossoms line from Amy Butler

I am in love!   This is the Joy & Bliss pallet.  I have some solids on order and

then it will become a new large wall quilt for my living room.  I can't wait!

I hope you all are having a wonderful start to this new year!
