Night Moon

so i just googled “Luna Notte” and it means “Moon Night” in Italian…which is what i thought it meant.  our Luna Notte arrived on Thursday–interestingly enough, i swear i had placed an order for this gorgeous fabric line, last spring after getting back from market…low and behold, no shipment, no order, and fabric left.  so mom and i thought up an idea…we (ha…isn’t that funny!) are going to make Lisbon, with chenille setting triangles and matching pillowcases.  mom is working on that as i type, so hopefully she’ll have that whipped together next week sometime.  kits will be ready to go shortly thereafter.  they use a layer cake, background, borders, and binding.  we have the bolts below in stock, but are going to be getting in charms, jellies, and more bolts…

mom put together this simple tote this week.  it is the pre-pieced fabric from Astor Manor.  perfect for that college kid!  i don’t have the kits figured out yet, but here is a picture of it. 

next up the new fall wall hanging, Acorn Fun.  it uses Sandy Gervais’ new panel from her line Awesome.  check out the pictures below.

Peppermint Sticks with a taste of fig tree!

Then lastly a couple FUN treats.

our new sweet rolls…Retro Hello Betty, Kansas Winter, Nostalgia, and Quilt MN.  $6.50/each.

now some Nell’s Flower Shop woven bundles…fun for fall…

fun AlphaBeads and vintage ribbons…

and lastly, magnets…with a vintage spin from tinaRie studio

okay…several fun treats…

autumn

autumn seems to have left early and let winter come.  this picture is from the side door of our garage looking out into the backyard the morning of our first snowfall this year.  winter wonderland indeed.

yesterday we got in part of our first order of Astor Manor by 3 Sisters.  this line is yummy…yes, i mean yummy with its strawberry, chocolate, cherry, cream, and champagne.  all we have right now are fat quarter bundles, but we will be making a new Mona Lisa Tote out of this line using the houndstooth woven pictured below and chocolate grommets.
