The Little Things
As promised, here is what came in the mail the other day! The second half of my birthday present from my mom. I saw this quilt in her LQS when I was home around the holidays and just thought it was so beautiful. Sure enough, I now have one sitting on my couch! Can you tell I love blues?! I know this will get lots of use and cuddle time over the years.. so thanks mom :) Oh, and you just have to look at the stitch detailing by clicking on the pictures. I love how the thread is variegated!
And speaking of the mail, I felt like Santa Claus on Thursday morning, when I headed to the post office and work with this HUGE Crate and Barrell bag filled with 36, yes, 36 packages. Scott and I were just laughing at the fact that I could hardly carry it since the bag is so long... Thank you to all who purchased some Sunshine Yarns on Tuesday! Looks like I need to get to dyeing up some more for next week!
And just a quick note for those Sockapalooza people out there... I FINALLY have my yarn for my sock pal. I dyed up this pretty little number on Monday and think she is going to love it! I've been putting off dyeing up yarn for her since I couldn't decide if I wanted to do a pattern with striping yarn, or something with a nice variegation. So, I just went with the variegation.. but still need to find a nice pattern.
If you are in Boston, have a wonderful Spring Day today! Woohoo!

Oh, Dani, I LOVE that yarn! That should be a colorway for the store, I think!
That quilt is STUNNING. Your mom does great work! Looking forward to receiving my package from your ginormous bag. :)
Ooooh, the quilt is lovely! And omgosh, my package is in there too *squee*
Oh, that YARN... it calls my name loud and clear! Reminds me a bit of Watermelon Patch (my current fave of yours) but with a bit less green in it. These colors would be utterly fabulous in self-striping, too (ahem!)
Oh man. I want some. :-)
Beautiful yarn! The quilt is lovely, what an awesome birthday present. My yarn was in that bag too -- how exciting! :)
I love the quilting pattern on your quilt. Your mom does great work. I almost want to lcean off my machine and start machine quilting again.
Yeah, I know that one of those envelopes is mine!!!
And I love the colrway for your sock pal also. But I think you should wait until after she gets the socks before adding it to the store. This way you can name it after her.
Extremely yummy colours on that yarn. And the quilt is lovely, lucky you!
wow! look at you girl! love it that your can't keep the store stocked ;) love your sockpals colorway!
I Love the colorway!! Hopefully we will see it in your shop soon
Love the quilt, That stitch detail is awesome. I couldn't imagine doing that much detail! Beautiful!
Your sock pal is one lucky pal! That colorway is very yummmy!
There's a reason your yarn is flying off the virtual shelf. It rocks! I tried a little Kool Aid dying this weekend and got just a taste of all the hard work that goes into your art. Kudo's to you.
