excited and sleepy

that's me, excited and sleepy. of course, you can be both. christmas as a little girl, very excited and sleepy, trying to stay up late. or before a big trip, excited to go, sleepy as i throw together the remains of what i need in my suitcase.

today, excited to show off some new quilts... sleepy cause, well, just cause! i didn't have to go to the day job this past weekend, but i still had a fun bunch of gals to teach how to make a baby quilt, and then there was the laundry, and vacuuming, and alfie-timing. then on sunday we went to ardmore to the clover market. it's a cute upscale antiques and fine fun stuff kind of place. i did get some fabulous mexican tiles... i will have to show them off... but not today, ha.

instead, i will show off some wren nest log cabin quilts... how's that...

variations on my to be third pattern, the wren, which is my take on a classic style, and i (kay)hart it!

the palettes are wide ranging... a traditionally bright red and white, a deep blue and accented orange field, and a shabby chic variation on pastels...

the pattern changes a bit each time... but to my glee, this will soon be a set in stone pattern that will be available for those out there who are in need of some log cabin love. as soon as it's sorted i will have a class at spool available, so excited...

i try to go round and round until i just can't anymore. one day i think i will make on huge bed quilt with this pattern... round and round to 80 inches or so. intense.

but for now i will continue for the babes...
