the ugly fabric arrives...the challenge begins

My swap partner is Stacy from Arizona. I received her fabric this week, which included pepto-bismol pink solid, 80's black calico with roses, a dark tone on tone green and a terrible brown plaid. I can't complain though because I sent Stacy some pretty bad fabric! Sorry Stacy.  Well, I'm off to the drawing board to design something marvelous!!!

Look What Was Waiting for Me

I just got back yesterday from picking up my daughter and all her stuff from college and my uglies were waiting for me!  I probably would not have bought any of it except maybe those big vegetables on the front right.  Those I love!  And the little gardening fabric to the left isn't bad either.  Visit me at my blog if you get a chance.  Good luck everyone!

I Got My Fabrics!--the Journey Begins

 I just wanted to share with you my "ugly fabrics" that came last week.  Click on this link for my blog post to see what my buddy Pam in Washington state sent me.  Hope I'm posting properly to this blog site, but if not, I'm sure somebody will tell me. 

Have a great day,  Kathy

Let's make butterflies!

Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.
