No, I am far from 23, but I am working on my 2WENTY-THR3E by Eric & Julie Comstock of Cosmo Cricket for moda quilt! My wonderful friend Deborah
from Simply Miss Luella gave me a 2TWENTY-THR3E charm pack, and I have finally decided how I want to make my quilt.
I am making HST with Kona bone as the contrast, arranging them into a chevron pattern.
I will be using the kodachrome in clementine (cameras in orange) for a 1 in. first border. The flash bulb in pavement (dots in gray) for the 6 in. outside border, and the modern girl in clementine (ovals in orange and pink) for the binding.
I am so excited about this one! Thanks Deborah!!!
My "ME" summer has gone by way to quickly! I still have a ton to do and make. Thankfully, I have retreat coming up next month, and will be taking several of the "ME" quilts with me. I can't wait!
I went to my friend Miss O's for out weekly 'bee' day yesterday. I had to take a pic of her thread catcher. It is a beautiful crystal vase! Have you ever seen such a fancy thread catcher? I love it!!
Have you ever seen a neat 'bee' day sewing surface? So much to work on....so little time!

I missed being with all of you. I know your new quilt will be stunning and I LOVE the fabrics you've chosen!
Love that line too, have a charm pack just waiting to be used so loving your choices of solids to go with it.
I adore that line as well. I made a couple quilts out of it. Can't wait to see your chevron quilt out of 23!
Love your fabrics, Miss Vicki....what a lucky gal to be gifted such a lovely charm pack. Looks as if there is oodles of fun and symbiotic times to be had at your 'neat' sewing bee...lovely crystal vases, the odd cake or two, gorgeous fabrics....ooooh I am soooo jealous!!
Sounds exciting! Love the chevron idea with those fabulous fabrics, Vicki! How nice to quilt with friends... And yes, this summer has flown, way too quickly.
Such fun fabric.
Dropping by this time from MQI N&T Thursday - I love the Comma collection, have made a book cover with it so far and the rest is in my stash. Looking forward to seeing how you progress with this quilt and your bee day looks like it was good fun :)
That sounds like an awesome quilt plan! Can't wait to see it coming together! x
I love that line! Looking forward to seeing your quilt :)
Vicki, those fabrics will make such a cute chevron quilt! I just can't wait to see more!
