Rainbows

RAINBOWS!!

Ive been in a colorful mood lately and this post couldnt have been more perfect. Who doesnt love their ROYGBIV?

I decided to work with printed fabrics instead of solids and play with different background colors. Which do you prefer? Cream or steel?

Im going to quilt each stripe with a matching color thread, that way I can have some rainbow fun on the back of the quilt as well!!

Thinking of cooler weather in Texas

Yes its only July and about 104 degrees outside but AllwithLOVE is staying cool and thinking holidays. Heres a sneak peek at some of the festive winter goodies we just got in.

I love this damask pattern and Im always a sucker for white on white prints. They make great coordinating fabrics and add a touch of interest without being to crazy.

Winter fun with blues and browns.

Isnt this "sweater" print great! Cant wait to use it. Think Thom kat is going to need a holiday jacket made out of it for sure!

The fabric explosion that is my office right now! I swear there's organization in all that. Keep an eye on AllwithLOVE for new items. Theres new quilts coming in crib/baby and lap sizes.

From Momma

Hi, I am Tiffany's mom! She wanted me to share with you so here goes!

When I was three years old I fell in love! My grandma had an old treadle sewing machine. When you stepped on the bottom cool things happened up top. One day I decided to jump up and down on it while Grandma was not there to stop me. The feed dogs grabbed my thumb into the machine and the needle made three stitches before breaking off in my finger! LOVE HURTS OUCH!!!!

OK, Fast forward almost 50 years, I am still in love with sewing machines and this week I bought a Bernina 830! It cost almost as much as a car but love is not cheap. Before I was allowed to give them any money I went to a pillow party to have some hands on time with the demo machine. Then after I purchased the machine the sales rep. spent two and a half hours going over the basics BEFORE I was allowed to take it home. I am now signed up for a 3 hour class once a week from now until the middle of April. There is a big learning curve here and I feel a little like my three year old self standing before a fascinating piece of machinery!

I'll post a picture of the pillow I made in class. And I hope to share with all of you as I learn, all over again, how NOT to sew your fingers into the machine.

Love,
Momma

Life Lesson - Polka Dots

• Never underestimate a good polka dot print! Period.

Now we all know there's too much of a good thing and some polka dots are better left on the sale rack. BUT a good solid polka dot or "dot" print can bring together a quilt or project, add interest to a solid without overwhelming or be just plan fun. Small, medium, large, whites or brights look to a polka dot next time you think your crafty projects missing something . . .

• See Polka Dots are everywhere-
