Sew Modern Monday

I'm so happy to finally be linking up to Sew Modern Monday! I've been following everyone's updates for a couple of months now, and I haven't really had any finishes that would "count."

My uber organized stash!!!

I can't tell you how pleased I am about this one. I had everything folded much wider and randomly put into a couple of bins. This way is much better! Just last night I wanted to double check how much I had of something, and I was able to find the print so quickly in its appropriate stack. Of course this wasn't my idea.....the oh-so talented Jeni from In Color Order had a great series, The Art of Choosing, where she did a section on stash folding. Great videos!

Finished top!

I feel like I'm officially a quilter now because this is my second finished top recently, and it's now in my "quilts to be quilted" pile. I never thought I'd have a pile like that!

This is from the LouLouThi Tiles Quilt Along on Stitched in Color. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and it's definitely a monster, measuring in at 73x85! My biggest one yet!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my weekend progress! How was your weekend?

Lizzy House :: top notch!

In cutting my way through new stash additions these past couple of weeks, I've been using a lot of Lizzy House. It's my first experience with her fabrics and I am thrilled with them! Of course, I was initially attracted by the cute designs and great color, and equally dazzled by the illustrious Pearl Bracelet prints, but upon working with them I was inspired and driven to devote a post to their incredible quality.

They are nice and soft, but more importantly, and what I really noticed, was how nice and thick they are! Such high quality! You can't see through them at all, the colors aren't grainy (actually nice and saturated), and they have such a nice drape. Very easy to work with. I quickly ordered yardage, as per my new stashing habit, inspired by Jeni. Very impressed, Miss House!
