Thing One - I got a new rug for my sewing room, finally! The hardwood was installed 11 months ago, and I've been looking for the perfect sewing room rug for 12 months easy.
The first two area rugs I ordered did not suit, so I sent them back. Then I found this one, sold by Pottery Barn Kids of all places. I'm very familiar with Pottery Barn, but I have no kids, so I'm not as familiar with PBK, but they have an amazing assortment of rugs that I don't think look like rugs for a kids room, like this one. If a rug with a hexagon pattern doesn't just scream sewing room, then I don't know what does.
Thing Two - I've been waiting since Spring Market for the release of this Miss Rosie's Quilt Co pattern, and it's finally available. Viola, pronounced Voi la, like Ta Da!!
This pattern finishes at 82" x 82", the blocks finish at nearly 19', nice size blocks. I plan to start working on this pattern in a couple of weeks, although I've yet to decide on my fabric, except that I think there will be orange, because I'm going through an orange phase. I have two friends who have also been waiting for this pattern and they plan to start in a couple of weeks too, Sinta/ Pink Pincushion, and Nicole/Sisters Choice. I like to make at least one basket quilt each year, this is my 2015 basket quilt. It sure would be fun if you decided to sew along too! All you need is 8 fat eighths for the baskets, 29 fat eighths for the flowers and 4 green fat quarters for the stems.
I hope you can squeeze it into your schedule!
