<br />
Here's a quick snapshot of my son's Christmas quilt. I finished it over the weekend but haven't been able to post any pics because I've had the flu! Now that I'm finally feeling a bit more like myself I thought I'd share it with you. The quilt top was made from two 21 square Layer Cake's from Riley Blake's <a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/shop/category/riley-blake-designs/available-now/puppy-park-1/" target="_blank">Puppy Park</a>. I used the <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/10/boxed-in-quilt.html" target="_blank">"All Boxed In"</a> pattern which turned out to be a very simple and quick quilt pattern, I think it would be a great one for beginners.You can download the pattern for free from the <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/10/boxed-in-quilt.html" target="_blank">Moda Bake Shop</a>. <br />
<br />

My favorite part about the quilt is the puppy applique that I decided to add on a few of the squares--isn't it cute? I hope everyone's holiday sewing is going well. I've only got one more quilt left to make!<br />
<br />
I have one Puppy Park layer cake left if anyone is interested in purchasing it. Just leave me a comment with your email address and I'll get in-touch with you.<br />
<br />
Happy Sewing!<br />

Here's a quick pic of my<span style="color: #990000;"> <a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Collection/Oh-Deer-by-MoMo.htm" target="_blank">Oh Deer</a></span> Quilt Top for my oldest daughter--she is going to love it! I agonized forever over what pattern I would use for this fabric. I wanted it to be something that would show of both the large scale prints and the smaller prints too. Finally I stumbled upon the "Sing the Blues" pattern at Riley Blake Fabrics and the best part is that it was free! You can download the pattern on Riley Blake's website <span style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/quilting_projects/" target="_blank">here</a></span>. I used a layer cake and a little yardage for the borders. I had at least 10 complete layer cake squares left over plus enough scraps that I was able to do some piecing on the backing. I still have<a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Collection/Oh-Deer-by-MoMo/p/Oh-Deer-Layer-Cake-sku-16070LC.htm" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #990000;">two layer cakes</span></a> left in the shop if you're interested. Now I'm sending it off to my great friend Jenny of<span style="color: #990000;"> <span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://www.sewkindofwonderful.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sew Kind of Wonderful</a></span> </span>to quilt it up for me. I can't wait to see the finished product. Now it's time to start on my son's quilt--one down two more to go! <br />

Flattered, but yikes I hope I can pull it off. Luckily my fourth isn't old enough to vocalize what she wants, so for now I can get away with only making three before Christmas day instead of four.<br />
<br />
They each picked out their own fabric and my design will be their surprise. My oldest chose <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Collection/Oh-Deer-by-MoMo.htm" target="_blank">Oh Deer</a></span>, my son chose<span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/shop/product/c2950-blue/" target="_blank">Puppy Park</a></span>, and my three year old picked <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/shop/product/c3111-yellow/" target="_blank">Happy Ever After</a></span>. These fabric collections are so adorable! I still have lots of Oh Deer left in <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/" target="_blank">my shop</a></span>, but I'm out of Puppy Park and Happy Ever After.<br />
<br />
Here's a peak at the Oh Deer quilt in progress.<br />

I've been preparing for a lesson I'm teaching to my <a href="https://www.lds.org/youth?lang=eng" target="_blank">Young Women</a> at <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank">church</a> this upcoming Sunday about being a daughter of God. I was so touched when I came across this video that I had to share it with all of you. Whether you're religious or not there is a powerful message here; you are important, relevant and uniquely beautiful exactly the way you are.

<br />
Oh I've got a fun share for all of you. Feast your eyes on my new, adorable diaper clutch! I don't know about you but I was sick and tired of diggin' around in my disorganized purse to find diapers and wipes. I carry a big bag, the Amy Butler Birdie Sling to be exact and with it's deep center and all my stuff <strike>"way too much crap in my purse junk"</strike> it was time I get organized. So where did I turn to for guidance and direction, Google of course! I wanted a stylish Diaper Clutch that would hold my diapers, wipes, and serve as a changing pad too, and what-do-ya-know I found the perfect <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2009/02/changing-pad-and-wipes-holder-tutorial.html" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">free tutorial</a><span style="color: #990000;"> </span>over on <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">Cluck, Cluck, Sew.</a><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j337/FabricEnvy/DiaperClutchOpenBlog.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I changed it up slightly by using a <a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Laminates.htm" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">laminate fabric</a> instead of minky on the inside so that if my little makes a mess I can wipe it clean. If you've never sewn with laminates before you'll probably want to use a walking foot. Without a walking foot they tend to stick a bit in your machine. It can be done without a walking foot, but trust me it's much, much easier with one. I also added a size 60 cover button to the front of the clutch--for cuteness of course!<br />

<img src="http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j337/FabricEnvy/JournalJarsFabricEnvy_12.jpg" /><br />
I decided to make these little jars for my Young Women at <a href="http://www.mormon.org/" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">church</a>. The <a href="http://www.youth.ldds.org/" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">Young Women</a><span style="color: #990000;"> </span>are girls that attend my church ages 12-18 and I am their leader. I taught lesson number <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/young-women-manual-1/lesson-19-personal-records?lang=eng" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">19 about Personal Records</a>, or keeping a Journal and made these jars for each girl. I got the idea from <a href="http://www.sugardoodle.net/" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">sugardoodle</a>, and added a little bit to make it my own. Each girl was given two sheets of paper with about 20 different ideas for subjects to write about in their journals. I asked them to cut them up into individual strips and place them in the jar. They were then given a challenge to write in their journals for 21 days. If they were stumped on what to write they could draw out a paper strip from their jar and have a subject right away. I hope they enjoyed the lesson. I know I did! I'm taking the challenge with them and am excited to see in what ways I improve by keeping a daily journal.<br />
<br />
Supplies needed:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Baby food jar washed and ready to go</li>
<li>2 inch circles cut from cute scrapbook paper or fabric. I just used a two-inch punch</li>
<li>Skinny ribbon, the 3/4 inch kind is too-wide. Just a hair smaller and it will fit around the rim of the lid nicely.</li>
<li>Hot Glue Gun</li>
<li>Printable labels, download mine <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=1CGC61lzBl_KWM1_dkEgZxE0v4DU03i1x8VmEbD51Y0y1Q_hPWxX2Uu0FxpID" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">here</a>. Or you can make your own by cutting scrapbook paper into 2" x 10.5" and wrapping it around the jar</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
How-To: <br />
<ol>
<li>Start by wrapping your ribbon around the lid base to get the length right. Cut and glue on. </li>
<li>Cut out your 2 inch circles from cardstock or even scrap fabric and glue on the top of the lid.</li>
<li>Finally cut out your jar labels and hot glue them around the outside.</li>
</ol>
That's it! Now I bet you're wondering about the accident part? I had just applied a bunch of hot glue to my circle and accidentally dropped it in my hand. Apparently my reaction time was not fast enough--(yep I'm slowly accepting the fact that I'm not a superhero) by the time I ripped off the cursed paper the glue was stuck to my skin. Once I got the courage to rip the glue off my hand, my skin came with it :( Ouch! Oh the things I am willing to do for a great craft!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j337/FabricEnvy/Ouch1.jpg" />
<br />
Wish the quality of the jar picture was better but my hand was hurting so bad I was too lazy to pull out the good camera, in comes the trusty cell-phone camera.<br />
<br />
Happy Crafting just don't burn yourself!<br />

Sample Spree is where all of the different manufacturers bring samples of new and current collections that you can purchase right then and there. As a shop owner this is a big thrill because you're getting your chance to get your hot little hands on collections that aren't currently available. The idea is that you will take these items and create "samples" for your store. Oh how I wish I was there. There's just something about new fabric that gets my heart racing!<br />
<br />
This time last year I was experiencing my first ever Quilt Market and I had such a great time. You can read more about my experience <a href="http://fabricenvy.blogspot.com/2011/11/envy-fall-quilt-market-houston-2011.html" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">here</a>. I couldn't make it to Kanas City this time around, but I should be able to attend Market in Houston, this fall. Not to worry I will still be stocking <a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">the shop</a><span style="color: #990000;"> </span>all the latest and greatest from this weeks show.<br />
<br />
Here's a picture of me with Amy Butler one year ago. I was 8 months pregnant and felt like an elephant next to her but I insisted on getting the shot anyway, because hello it's Amy Butler--and when you're a fabric junkie like me, Amy Butler is a CELEBRITY!<br />

<br />
<br />
Not only is this apron completely adorable, it was completed with just under 4 fat quarters--no that's my kinda project. Maureen was generous enough to share her pattern in this simple step-by-step <a href="http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/2012/05/four-fat-quarter-apron-tutorial.html" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on her blog.

My hilarious friend Kathryn has created this video for the Mothers Day Dance Dare for the Ellen show. I have lots of great high school memories with this girl that include weekend prank calls to Chinese restaurants, b-boxing while singing through our noses (yes Kathryn I taught you that one), and lots and lots of goofy dancing at 5:30am for dance team practices. <br />
<br />
Knowing the girl behind those sexy prego moves just makes me laugh even harder. So kick back, relax, and enjoy and good laugh. And when you're done be a dear and share the video!<br />

Anyhoo, as far as I can tell I think I've fixed the problem. I plan to be back up and blogging shortly and will introduce some great new fabric collections that I've recently added to my inventory. So here's a quick little flash back to my free <a href="http://fabricenvy.blogspot.com/2012/02/free-photo-tile-tutorial-from-fabric.html" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">Photo Tile tutorial</a>.

<span style="font-size: small;">2.) Besides quilting what your next favorite hobby?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">It's no secret that I love photography, but I'm also really into crocheting. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3.) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">This is a hard question for me to answer because there are so many places I've never been, that I imagine all the time would make the perfect getaway. I dream of living anywhere tropical where I could lounge on the beach forever... Of the places I've lived I wouldn't mind moving back to Charleston South Carolina. Great people, rich with history, beauty, and sunshine!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4.) Where does your inspiration come from?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Hmmm inspiration for what project? It's sourced from lots areas depending on the genre. If it's a quilt I let the fabric help me decide what to do with it. Most of the time I like to check out what some of my favorite designers are doing like Pat Bravo, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, and Joel Dewberry. Pretty much anything they do inspires me to create. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5.) How much fabric are you hoarding right now?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Ha, if we count the fabric store, it's a lot!!!! But my own personal stash is overflowing too. Lets just say I've got enough stashed to make clothing for my kiddos for an entire year, and enough fabric bundles set aside for at least 20 quilts. I obviously love to buy fabric, I hoarded so much it's turned into a fabric store!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">6.) Do you where makeup, and if you do, how often do you put it on?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Yes! I love make-up, another product I can't seem to stop buying. Unfortunately I only end up "putting on my face" a few times a week. Life with the four kiddos, the fabric store, church responsibilities, and occasional photography clients makes things a little to hectic for make-up everyday. The only make-up I've got on now is my "I slept in it last night because I was too lazy to wash my face before bed" kind. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">7.) What is your favorite part of the quilting process? </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Buying the fabric, hello!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">8.) Are you a part of any local Quilt Guilds?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Nope, but I should be :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">9.) How many quilting projects are you currently working on? </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">I'm working on two quilt tops right now with <a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Collection/Curio-Basic-Grey.htm" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">Curio</a> and <a href="http://www.fabricenvy.com/shop/Collection/Hello-Luscious-Basic-Grey.htm" style="color: #990000;" target="_blank">Hello Luscious</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">10.) If we went to a movie, what type of movie would you pick out?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">My favorite movies are one's that pull at your heart strings, make you think or motivate you to be better. One of my all time favorites is August Rush--just watch it, it's amazing!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">11.) If we went out for dinner, what restaurant would you pick?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">If we could fly back to Utah I would pick The Magic Wok. I waited tables there all through high school. The restaurant has been open for 25 years and the food is so fantastic! I can't really eat Chinese food anywhere else and enjoy it. I like it so much that when I'm pregnant I have dreams that we've figured out a way to FedEx overnight it and still have it be fresh. </span> </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">

<div style="color: purple; text-align: left;">

Whew I'm long winded! Good thing i don't dish about myself very often. Three cheers to you if you made it through the post. Now onto the important part.<br />

It was a long weekend and whew, I am glad to be done with it! I hosted an Open House for my shop this weekend out my humble home and it keep me really busy. I had oodles of fun chatting with all the customers and think I'll make the open house a quarterly event. It's neat once in awhile to pretend I actually have a brick and mortar store.....someday :) I'll post pics sometime this week. <br />

<br />
Bear with me while I post about something completely unrelated to fabric. Are you guys as excited for the Hunger Games movie premier as I am? It's seems like everyone is talking about it and I wanted to share my excitement too. About three years ago I picked up Hunger Games and was immediately captivated by the story. The unrealistic and yet very realistic plot, the well developed depth of each character, the thrill ride of one intense moment after another, the tears, and on, and on make Hunger Games and entirely addictive journey. The dystopian setting provides the perfect platform for a very emotionally gripping story. These books are about survival, love, revolution, and the heartache and brutality of war. They're exciting, creative, and absolutely "worth loving". <br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j337/FabricEnvy/Hungar.jpg" /><br />
I hope the movie does the book justice! The preview looks amazing. I'm also pretty excited to see what the hair and makeup artists have dreamed up for the outlandish Capitol citizens. From the picture of the character Effie Trinket below, I'd say they're on the right track. So if you haven't already done so, put down your sewing and schedule an uninterrupted weekend to let yourself indulge in the Games.<br />

<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j337/FabricEnvy/971_jd47sky.jpg" /><br />
It really is such a gorgeous print. I want to do something with it but I just haven't decided what. What would you do?<br />
