I just got an email for Wondrous Woven Fabrics this morning. They are having a spring cleaning sale before Market. While they don’t have the entire line of Swiss Chocolate, they have the following discounted at 30% if you use the code 8great2 at checkout. This is a great opportunity to pick up the kit for my complimentary sampler pattern, or a roll-up or ten-square…
Happy sewing!

This one has been gone from home for so long that I almost forgot about her.
Luckily Fons and Porter didn’t. “Pinwheel Garden” features my Ambrosia collection for Robert Kaufman and, best of all, it is being featured as a free pattern on the Love of Quilting website that you can download here.
One note:
An attentive reader was downloading the pattern and noted the following:
You can still find most of the Ambrosia line at Fat Quarter Shop. And the two prints that they have sold out of can be found over at Wondrous Woven Fabrics. And it looks like Fabric Shack has them all!
Just to make it super-easy for you to order materials should you want to whip up this quilt, here are the SKUs:
1/2 yard pink floral (AAM-10757-193 )
3/4 yard blue floral (AAM-10757-192)
3/4 yard blue leaves (AAM-10758-192)
1 yard purple crackle (AAM-10760-192)
1-1/4 yards brown crackle (AAM-10760-193)
1-1/2 yards yellow circles (AAM-10759-136)
3/4 yard dark pink medallions (AAM-10756-193)
3/4 yard light pink circles (AAM-10759-193)
1 yard dark green medallions (AAM-10756-192)
1/2 yard medium green leaves (AAM-10758-193)
5/8 yard light green circles (AAM-10759-192)
3-1/2 yards backing fabric – anything from the Veranda line will work
Happy sewing!

P.S. I had a momentary lull in sewing last night in order to get out a scrapbook collection and last night we were able to (pause for dramatic effect)… eat in the dining room!
Have you ever picked up a quilt from a quilter and been so excited because they brought your work to an entirely new level? That is how I felt this morning when I picked up this….
I love Deborah Norris’ little leaves and rose swirls. I can’t show more yet (soon, soon…) but had to share.
I dropped off quilts #6 and #7 this morning, which means I have need of lots of binding…
It was so nice to see Deborah’s quilting because I’m feeling at sixes and sevens because we are living in complete chaos. Those of you who read this blog regularly know that I don’t have a studio all to myself and that we homeschool our children. That means a lot of activities take place in just a couple of rooms and, right now, I’m taking more than my fair share of space. You can’t go more than a few feet without stepping on a project. These are various snapshots from our dining room, which is being used for pretty much everything but eating. (And we don’t have an eat-in kitchen, so right now we are sometimes eating standing at the counter, or on towel in the family room.) Such is life. For those of you who might be feeling behind with housekeeping, take a look…

| Fabric – washed and ironed |
 |
| Quilt tops, in various states of completion |
 |
| Borders, waiting to be sewn on |
 |
| I completely forgot about laundry, but these fabrics have little strings before I’ve even ironed them, and I find that really funny. |
 |
| More ironing on the chair, and more quilt blocks on the floor. |
I’d much rather iron quilt blocks than laundry, wouldn’t you?
Happy sewing!
Amanda
