Snips and Snails

Of course, after my last post asserting that the girls were winning the gender race I had a whole slew of boy orders come through to keep things even. I'm still in love with gray chevron and try to use it every chance I get before it goes out of style. I'm also trying to pare down my fabric stash. I've done an extensive purge of my sewing room and am determined to keep it in order, so no new fabrics until I use what I already have. I've pinned several inspirational ideas for craft rooms but am so disillusioned by how unreasonably impeccable they are. Whose sewing/craft room looks magazine-shoot ready all the time, with perfect stacks of fat quarters in color spectrum order? Not very realistic for me. I'm trying to strike a balance between Martha Stewart Living and Hoarders.

I've added some new stacked monogram designs that are perfect for a bib applique. This chunky Times New Roman is one of my faves.

Another new stacked monogram (fill-stitch).
