Well, I was just getting back into the swing around here when the air conditioner broke. Unfortunately we are having weather in the high 90’s here so things are a tad toasty in my sewing room. To top it off my husband started his latest home improvement project today. It involved demolishing our bathroom. If things don’t at least get a little cooler here I’m moving to the basement for the rest of the summer!
Anyway, there isn’t much to report from the design wall today. To make up for this I have pictures of some of the super yummy fabrics I am collecting for the next BOM (yes, I'm crazy for these). While I was away I had a chance to visit Keepsake Quilting and have myself a little fabric binge. Luckily for me, Keepsake is only ½ hour from my in-laws house. Yeah!
Head on over to Judy’s blog and see what others are up to.
bad time of year for the a/c to go out, yes it is going to be a toasty week for a lot of the US it looks like from the weather map I saw today - hope you get yours fixed soon.

Can you give us names of some of the most important fabrics while we can still find them to buy? If you can do that while you go along, I would gladly compile a list of them for the group.

I had a bit of a crisis this morning, over here in the land of Jane Austin. Having dealt with 'it' and the aftermath, I thought "Now just sit down with a cup ot tea and tune in to see if Erin has posted today. That will calm you and take your mind off 'it'."
Well I had to laugh at all the 'toasty' mentions. My crisis? My toaster had caught fire - big time - black fumes, flames, smoke alarm shrilling!
And where have I seen all those lovely colours before now .... Let me think???

Arent you lucky to get to go to Keepsake! Ive been once in 2006, its my favorite quilt catalog. Have family in Franconia NH, spent childhood summers there.
I also retreat to the basement to sew and escape the heat, not my favorite season. Rather have 10degrees and a foot of snow. Hope you got a new ac, its going to be a scorcher all week here. Im in Denver and its hot.
Lovely fabrics, feeds my inner 10 year old who loves brights!
