Keeping Some Balance

It has been so long since I have been in front of my sewing machine.  I have missed it and I have missed blogging too.  Life keeps getting in the way...in a good way...grandchildren...friends...busy times.  But my head is always swirling with ideas and things I want to sew.  To keep some balance while I am away from my machine, I have been hitting some internet fabric sales.  The first collection that I have been eyeing for a while is Moda's Lollipop.  I saw it on sale at Burgundy Buttons.  I really didn't need to buy fabric, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do, right? 
 

I really like the greens in this collection.  I have since discovered a couple more prints to add and am awaiting their arrival.  I am probably going to make a kid quilt for my grandchildren to snuggle under when they visit.  I know it is really 'matchy-matchy' but I like it.

Then I saw the Max and Whiskers collection on sale, as well.  Yes, I felt a purchase was necessary for my mental balance (i.e. I caved) and  so I bought these lovelies too.


They will also more than likely become another 'matchy-matchy' kid quilt for the grandkids too. Now if someone would only have a sale on 'sewing time', I'd be all set.

:o)
