quilt photos

a couple of weeks ago i went home to spend the weekend with my family. i brought my quilts because i wanted to get some picture of them with a field background, so my dad found a good spot. it was on PA state game lands (aka hunting land). luckily you aren't allowed to hunt on sundays, so we were safe.

camping

a few weeks ago we went camping at tobyhanna (again). that place is so great, especially for those with dogs who love to swim.

our camping neighbors had the coolest dog, named lloyd. he was only 8 months old, but gigantic. he was a mix between 3 types of mastiff and a dane. so you can imagine how big he will get. i can't stop thinking about that dog, he was the (second) cutest.

it was fun

thanks to everyone who came out to see my first show at the clover market. the day couldn't have been more perfect and the weather was gorgeous. here are some pics of my set-up.

lily of the valley quilt

the lily of the valley quilt is finished, just in time for the clover market tomorrow. stop by anytime from 11-4 if you're in the philadelphia area.
the center is a vintage tea towel and it's bordered by vintage and new fabrics. i really love how it came out.

i quilted around each flower and the bow to make it pop and give it lots of texture. i love how it turned out! if it doens't sell tomorrow, look for it in the brandeye etsy shop.

doilies and clovers

i made these for the clover market. if you're in the area on october 10, stop by anytime from 11-4 to say hello and do some shopping. i went sunday and there were many, many awesome things.

i'm also hoping to finish this quilt by the 10th, wish me luck!

mozer

yes, this is why our couch is dirty and stained, but how can you resist this face?

i could eat this every day

philly is a foodie town, a serious foodie town. and we go there as much as possible, usually making our plans around seeing friends and eating. the suburbs where we live are a different story. it's a dining wasteland. there are mediocre places, but none too great. within the past year a vietnamese place opened, pho and beyond, and we have been going ever since. it is seriously FANTASTIC. here's a picture of their cabbage soup, which has the most amazing broth ever.

from bag to tag and the clover market

i had been keeping this bag around (from my trip to the amazing terrain), because it was too pretty to throw away. today i noticed that it was falling apart so i was just about to put it in the recycling, when i had the idea to cut it up to use as tags. i planned to go to the craft store today to buy some, so this saved me a trip, and recycled something that would have been in the trash.



while cutting up the bag, i noticed this, which i thought was appropriate :-)


and why, you may ask, do i need tags? because i'm doing my first show! i'm super excited about it and nervous at the same time. i'll be at the clover market in ardmore, pa on october 10, 11-4. you can check out lots of details about the market here. hope to see you there!
