Having Fun!

Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon sewing on the Bee In My Bonnet row along quilt. Here is the fun label for the quilt. I still need to put on the antenna and basic information. I am going to embroider it.
 It is always fun to shop for fabric. I received a gift certificate from #1 son and DIL for Christmas. I finally thought it was time to spend it. I bought this yardage. The green is for a backing of a small quilt. The solid is for my first solid quilt I will be working on. Last is the floral. Aren't those little flowers so sweet? It is Posy by Aneela Hoey. My gift certificate was from the Fat Quarter shop. They have so much to offer which made it hard to shop but as you can see I narrowed it down.
 I also won a sweet little giveaway from Sew you Quilt 2. Thank you so much! Now who doesn't love getting fun stuff delivered to your mailbox?! Me!
With Passion,
Carrie P.

You go girl, you are good at winning. Love your prizes and fabric. I was on their website today, they have a 50% off Riley Blake fabrics today. Alas I didn't purchase anything. I think my Mister would scream if I did before we get moved, lol.

Cute label! I learned to make an embroidered bee in Sue Spargo's class today and when I opened your blog and saw the bee I laughed! Two bee or not two bee!

I think I'm going to really, really like your Bee in My Bonnet quilt, Carrie! What a fun label! Love your purchases - my inlaws now know that FQS gift certificates are the only thing to give me!
Cheers!

I love the bee label! Very clever :-) Great fabric choices too! A gift certificate? How nice :-) It's like two gifts in one. The fabric, and the actual shopping for the fabric!

I love getting things in the mail Carrie but my husband is complaining about all the boxes...not that I do most of my buying online these days, but that he has to get rid of the empty boxes. :). Blessings, Marlene
