Hello Everyone, sorry for the long break from sewing/quilting project updates. I am back with my sojo( sewing mojo). I have been literally sewing non-stop since Friday night. Here is the outcome: RBD Splendor Fabric Collection by Lila Tueller Splendor Garden Quilt - 80/90 x 77 inches  A free tutorial available on Riley Blake Designs Cutting Corners College website, click here . Even though I got hardly any sleep over the weekend, it feels refreshing to get sew much sewing done ;). I think I sewed more hours this last week compared to the sewing I did in last 6 months. I hope I am coming out of the non-sewing rut I have been for quite sometime now. More closeup pictures: Flower block# 1 Pieced Flower block - Block#2 Pieced Kites - My favorites This is the second largest quilt I ever made, almost a queen 80/90 x 77 inches. I am planning to quilt this on the long arm. But I have never rented longarm for more than 3 hours at a time. This one is looking like...

Sorry to just keep posting shop updates. I promised I will get more sewing/quilting done in the next coming week and share the progress with you. I am really excited about another fabric collection by Art Gallery fabrics. Its Sara Lawson's Jungle Ave fabric collection for AGF Limited edition.  I just ordered these this morning. I can't wait for it to arrive. My daughter is pretty excited about these two fabrics: Here is the entire collection: Jungle Ave Fabric Collection by Sara Lawson - Limited Edition I have also ordered some Voile and Knits(from a different collection). I am excited and hopeful that I will get back my sewing/quilting mojo. Its become like the GYM thing, that I am not able to get any sewing done these days :). I am off for the summer, hopefully I can squeeze sewing/quilting back into my schedule. Happy Quilting! Hema (a.k.a Malini)
