My new apartment building has a lot of spirit! There are 4 units in my building and 3 front doors were decorated. You might have guessed that I, the new girl, was ruining the neighborhood. So, we've been here one week and one day now and I've made some decoration for our front door....what do you think?
I used the
Moda Barefoot Batiks I purchased in my post-
tonsillitis euphoria. I am a little nervous that its too...risque? Too loud? I've met the two older ladies that live here and they are very sweet and seem fun. The other unit is a younger couple with a little girl. This is on my front door, so it announces who I am (and I guess it speaks for my DH, too??). What does this say?
It was fun to make and I really like it (perhaps why I've posted 3 pictures of it) but now I am getting nervous. Is it like hanging my underclothes out for everyone to see? It's cute, right? Not indecent?
. There were at least a dozen outhouses in this field and I think there were more in a museum in town. Hope you like them! 
I've been a crazy person lately, but I am here with this photo of my favorite quilt from the Indiana State Fair, which ended earlier this month. It reminded DH of wheat.
It's about to get warmer here in Indiana. So, I think it's a perfect day to stay inside and work on a hot pepper quilt. It's going to be a very loud quilt for my DH. Because the fabrics are so busy, I 've chosen a simple pattern.
My cat, Bernie wanted to get in on the cutting action.
I tend to end up with the dreaded "v" when I cut a lot of strips, so I decided to fold along the selvage edge, rather than selvage to selvage. It's harder for me to figure out how to fold it properly along the cut lines that might not be straight. This method seemed to work well.
200 squares cut (with Bernie's help!)
