I finally did it....

Yep, finally.  I finally made a Buggy Barn block!!  

I have been wanting to do these FOREVER, but never felt I could take the time, work, work, work.  And I even had some tell me I couldn't do it because I'm too OCD.  Well here's showing you that anyone can make these super cute blocks of flowers.  See for yourselves

I took a class at Cotton Shop in Provo yesterday and thanks to Teresa, I'm hooked!!!  I love making these.  They are so fun.  I still have a couple of blocks to do.  Plus, I have two new Buggy Barn books that I'm dying to play with.  I just have to remember that all work and no play makes me a total space cadet!  

So, I'm going to need to play more often!  Anyone else out there love Buggy Barn???  

What's your favorite?  Let's hear what you have to say.

Skinnies-Lift....what???

I decided the other day that I needed to update a few Skinnies.   A "Skinnies-Lift". 

You know, change fabrics, maybe make minor adjustment, stuff like that. 

 So I looked through all the Skinnies and 

chose a few to work on and update/change.  

I started with the cat from "Fall Skinnies".  Here's the original one, as you have seen before. 

 He needed just a little something.  So I started playing around with new fabrics and whatnot.

Here's what I came up with - the updated version. 

I added the white part on the eyes and lengthen the neck by 2".  It made a big difference, right?  

The border fabric is from a Riley Blake Halloween line.  What do you think of this"Skinnies - lift"?

Next up is the Christmas Stocking from "Seasonal Skinnies 1".

Until then , enjoy your hot summer days!
