summer house.

i have over 7 yards of yummy fabric calling my name.

along with a mountain of laundry, my disgusting bathroom, my kiddos baseball games,
my neglected flower beds, overdue deadlines, my overflowing email, pattern writing,
the post office, a handful of grey hairs & mr griffith himself.

where's mary poppins when you need her?!?!
:D

if seeing "robert kaufman" on that ribbon instead of "moda" made you fall out of your chair...
trust me you ain't the only one.
:D

amanda murphy emailed me to see if i wanted to play with some of her new fabric.
it's not the normal rachelish color combo, but i do have the perfect quilt planned for it.
really.

here's how i figure it...
miss lindsey needs a "football" quilt. yes a football quilt.
flag football season will be here in a month.
football = lots of outside time for us griffith's.

we are now the eagles and our colors are blue & white.
let's face it...white fabric and football are SO not bff's.
that and blue fabric really isn't very girly looking.

enter swiss chocolate.
blue. cream. pink. chocolate brown. yum.
i forsee the perfect football quilt in the making.

the tricky part was choosing a pattern.
of course i wanted to use something that would be ubber cute.
BUT i didn't want to freak out if a cleat happened to run across it.
*flag on the play*

enter scruffily.
yum yum pint sized scruffily-ness is in the making.
be still my heart.

and guess what...
i have some extra swiss chocolate precuts that are free to a good home.
who wants them?!?!
*winner will be drawn friday*

{fyi: yall can buy swiss chocolate here.}

♥ rachel

buttercup.

i'm loving this creamy, buttery goodness.
o'lot.

fabric = buttercup by fig tree quilts for moda

♥ rachel

can't wait to hear yall's guesses.
:D

central perk...i mean park.

warning: dork moment ahead.

okay so i have a problem.
i can't just say central park sometimes.
i always mess up and say central perk.
yep. as in central perk the neighborhood coffee house from friends.
yeah. i know. huge dork, right?!?!

to my dear friend kate spain...
i love you. i love your fabric. you know that.
i'm just a friends freak that might need a stepdown program.
:)

anyways...today's objective:
turn this lovely pile of central PARK fabrics into a quilt i'm ubber excited about.
