quilt calendar 2015.

if y'all are anything like me, you wait until the last minute to get a calendar for the upcoming year.
generally, i'm the girl at the mall, on new year's day, pondering the leftovers at the pop-up calendar store.
(do i want cats? or motorcycle mamas?)
well, folks, things are changing this year!!!

y'all remember my book, quilts made with love, right?
well, the lovely peeps at martingale chose one of my book quilts to be featured in their 2015 calendar.
see, look ...

that's me, miss january. :)

even if you already have my book, there's 11 more beautiful quilts for you to enjoy as the year goes by.
and let me tell y'all, they are yummy.

there's something for both the modern and traditional quilter!
the projects range in size from wall hangings to bed sized quilts.
and on top of the quilty eye candy, step by step instructions are included for each month!
awesome, right?!

so, y'all grab one for yourself, your quilty friend, or even your mother in law.
it's the gift that keeps on giving.
(purchase via amazon, here.)

trimmings.

i grow attached to my trimmings while i cut fabrics.
how attached?
well, for starters, i take a picture.

what about y'all?
do you ooh and aah over your trimmings? keep them? reuse them? take pics of them? throw them away?
inquiring minds want to know.
