little changes

Besides getting a new banner for Spring (I'm fully jumping the gun here as the forecast calls for 70 on Friday...) my blog underwent a few changes today. If you stopped in and saw things a little strange, here's why... I tend to jump in head first, making changes while learning how. Today I learned how to (finally!) center my new banner and eeked out a few more pixals... I've been feeling like the content on this little read has been a bit cozy and so I played around with a more spread out feel. I also learned how to use buttons...

 

 

... feel free to find me (and say hi!) on Pinterest, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook. And you can now pin/tweet/like things on the blog at the footer...

 

 

... good things on the horizon indeed. Here's hoping you enjoy these new little features and that it allows me to touch base with you new and different ways! Happy Sunday...

strips and bricks

  Strips and Bricks Quilt designed by A Stitch in Dye for Sew Hip Magazine

I'm in love with that quilt.  The simple lines. The soft colors.  The linen/cotton blend.  I looove this quilt and have placed it into the queue.  Inspiration to finish the quilt I've been currently working on for oh, a month now (a simple pieced quilt at that)... Anyway, the Strips and Bricks Quilt was designed and created by Malka Dubrawsky who has a little blog I love to visit called A Stitch in Dye, visit if you can, she has a way with color.  

 

 

The first time I saw the quilt though was on Red Pepper Quilts, so we'll blame it on Rita and her absolutely phenomenal sense of what works in a quilt:  

 

Rita's version is a lot like the original, but oh so amazing. I love how seemlessly the colors work together along with the dots and stripes.  And it is for sale in her Etsy Shop... what a fantastic way to say Happy Birthday don't you think? Nooo, must start my own, I'm a quilter now... but a girl can dream and admire for sure. Love that quilt.
