Humming Along

. . . snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes . .

. . . brown paper packages tied up with string,

these are a few of my favorite things . . .

(I do hope you are hearing Julie Andrews' voice

and not my off-key warbling!)

What was inside those wonderful packages?

Fat quarter bundles of new Marcia Derse fabrics!

(I love the way she packaged and labeled them . . .)



At Home (2010)



I first encountered Marcia's Gerta fabric line

at Delta Patchwork's January 2010 warehouse sale.

Those were used to create the quilt above

for our son's and DIL's fourth anniversary.

This is Marcia's second new line.

Oh, the joy of it all!

But wait . . .

Look what else was tucked inside!

150 pre-cut 2" squares of her fabrics ~

so many possibilities!
