I have been playing with the new fabric collection from Riley Blake called Unforgettable and have just fallen in love with the color scheme! I thought it would be perfect for something Easter themed, so when Stephanie from Crafting in the Rain asked me to participate in her A-Z series, I knew I would want to do something Quilt related and use this Unforgettable collection. I also happened to have these oval shaped frames from a local wood … [Read more...]

Yay!! A fabulous fabric giveaway! Let me back up first... So does everyone know my "Diamonds" quilt? That aqua minky fabric in there (the super soft dimpled fabric) I originally found at Hobby Lobby about three and a half years ago.
