Bliss is a Bolt of Kona White

How much Kona White do you go through?  I am ALWAYS running out, ordering 2 yards here, buying 2 yards there.  I say, enough of that b/s!  I called my LQS that carries Kona, and asked if they had a bolt of white, they did, so I snatched it up.  I will never run out again!  At least not for a week.  Maybe two.

I was so excited to hold, rub, and pet my bolt, I took it for a little walk around the yard.  She loved the butterfly bush and day lilies.  But then I took her inside and brushed her off, there was a bug crawling on her and I had to real quick get her back into more sanitary conditions.  Also, she needed to be nearer the rotary cutter, I'm just saying, she looks good and all, but she is going in a lot of projects.

I was wondering what everyone else's sewing table looks like when they have a project in progress.  This doesn't even show the other side, which was also full.  or the floor, also full, and ironing board, umm, also loaded down.  I was working on my Modern She Made swap in this photo, it was late at night.  I love the iPad my husband gave me for Christmas, it is so much easier to have it handy for looking at tutorials and photos, rather than printing or lugging the laptop.  

This is the completed mini I made for Modern She Made swap, my partner should be receiving any second.  There were other goodies in the package, but no photos.  I have now commenced some organizing and re-arranging which was past due in the sewing room.  

I made it through some behind Bee Blocks today.  My cleaning progress inspired me to make a little mess.  These are stacked coin blocks for Shawn in my Block Party Bee.  I think I would be in a bee with any of these ladies at any time.  

Block #2 for Shawn.  She chose this Essex Linen, and I am. In. Love.  Next ordering that gets done, this will be on the list.  

I received my goodies from Jessica for Modern She Made Swap.  And O!M!G!  I totally love it.  I saw this bag in the photo stream, but never thought it would be for me, even though it is my colors and that Joel Dewberry bird, baby, so me.  Jessica so spoiled me!  I was so lucky to have her as a partner.

Patterned Hues

There is a wonderful website called Design Seeds by Jessica.  On this site is a virtual chocolate cheesecake with strawberries, whipped topping, and hot sauce of color combinations to inspire you.  (Bonus, no calories!)

Tulip Color

All Color combinations that you could possiblly ever think of, Jessica has thought of first.  Yay for Jessica!  It's also just eye candy if you are bored and want something else on the internet to absorb your time.  

Critter Color

You can search by theme - for example I chose Autumn, and here is one that appealed to me.

Nature Fresh Hues

I'm in a new group on Flickr Quilt Around the World II, what can I say, I'm always stalking new groups to join.  This is the color palette I'm going to work with for my quilt top, Nature Fresh Hues.  I printed out the photo and matched up the solids with  my Kona Color Chart.  I have Medium Grey, Charcoal, O.D. Green, Mango and Khaki.  I'm going to send out my color inspiration with my block when it gets sent on it's way Around the World and the group will be able to see where I'm coming from.  Sort of.  At least for this block.
