who have been called according to his purpose.

New In The Sewing Neighborhood

People are starting to talk about this new chick in town named Rebekah Merkle. She is a designer who is all the buzz in the sewing world. A woman from Idaho with five children who moved to Oxford England for her husbands job. She started out sewing dresses for her three daughters and it has led her to creating her own fabric line and patterns! Her designs are very bold and yet somehow has a traditional twist. How exciting to see that the new line is out! It's called "England Swings!" Check out the video!



I have been following her Blog for a little while now and love all the sweet little things posted. She is a true talent! I vicariously live through her site. Can you imagine, Oxford England? If only,..::Siggh:: Cheers Rebekah for the inspiration you give this stay at home Ohioan mom. I think I may have to swing on by and order some of the those delish red prints. You can never have too much fabric right?!

Inspiration

Lately I have had my eye on quilts. Every fabric store I have visited has had a special section specifically for the art. (Some fabric displayed these days are too bright for me...and other fabrics are just plain tacky) I have never dabbled into the "quilting realm" but I can appreciate all the work that goes into making one. I am envious of those who own a family heirloom passed down from a great grandmother or aunt. What a special piece of family history in every stitch.
I am thinking that I may just have to be the one to make one for my family. Not even sure how to start this very ambitious idea of mine,...but browsing never the less at all the quilting goodness there is on pinterest.

Not really into the super traditional style of quilt, but I like this modern twist....

Or this idea with the circles,...

But a big part of me loves these modern quilts,....

Come on, these squares scream "Meagan!"

And I am loving the idea of adding words!!!

Maybe one of these days I will gain the courage to start one! Any quilters out there who have tips on where to begin? Should I take a class? I would more than likely do most of the work on my sewing machine (some maybe can be done by hand?)
