Hop to it…

I confess…it’s been awhile since I have been in my sewing room…what with gardening, visiting company and back trouble…yup…that dreaded back!!  Just too much gardening for sure!  Gardening is NOT good for your health! I better stick with quilting and forget about the garden…hey, that’s my story and I’m sticking with it!!:o))

SEW it felt good yesterday to plan out and start cutting the fabric to make a baby quilt!  The first-time-parents have chosen not to find out the gender of their baby early…they want to be surprised. So I needed to come up with a gender neutral quilt appropriate for either sex…is this fabric not perfect?  It’s a Debbie Mumm print called ‘Hip Hop Garden’ and features Frogs…lots of frogs and polka dots!

I want to showcase the froggie prints by using big blocks…I came across this pattern in my Baby Pattern Binder…and it was FREE!!  Whenever I see a Free Pattern that I like, I print it off right away and put it into a binder…and am I ever glad I did because it’s no longer being offered on Henry Glass’ Free site!

Having said that…Henry DOES have a lot of great NEW FREE PATTERNS worth your perusal!!  Remember…if you should see something that you like, print it off now and put it into a binder because these patterns are not there forever!  Besides it’s nice to be able to flip through patterns…check and compare what you have and what you need!  Binders are a good thing! 

My fingers are crossed that you will find me in my sewing room for most of the weekend…I’m hoping to see you there!?

Would you believe that it’s Friday…again!!  The weeks are flying by…and June is almost half way gone!!  Now HOW did that happen?  It’s going to be Christmas before we know it…and this baby will be born before I can say “Let’s GET HOPPING!”  So…I better get HOPPING!

Have a FUN Friday and Hoppy Stitching!~P
