i heart linen: March 2013

So my dear friend, Thomas sent me some of his beloved Jellybean fabric. They are a smaller version of the eggs he created for Pear Tree and I heart them immensely!!! I've been in love with this print since......geez....I think before they were even a fabric. (I recall getting a sneak peek from Mr. Knauer before they went to print.)

Thomas decided to do a little Jellybean-a-Thon and I am all too happy to be playing along. I don't think you're ready for this jelly.

I've been collecting notions and things in preparation for my booth at Quilt Market this Spring. A few days ago, I received a shipment of my favorite zippers from Japan. I was oh so eager and itching to dive into them and knew that the Jellybeans were screaming to be made into wee pouches, just for me. (I never make anything for myself anymore it seems. Who has time?? Am I right??)

I really love the contrast of colors that he used on the various prints and I'm loving that they all just work so well together even though the colors are so vastly different. Nice work my firend!

I especially adore what he did with this group when creating this quilt.

After some close examination of said quilt at QuiltCon, it led me to believe that these fabric would make for an incredible Marcelle Medallion!! Don't you think??? Of course you do! You wouldn't be here if you didn't agree with me, right? Joking. ^_~

Well, time got away from me this week, pouches will have to do for now, but you'll definitely see me revisiting these Jellies for that Medallion! (There's a #MedallionAlong (#MarcelleMedallion) on Instagram! Yay!)

Catch up with the rest of the JellyBean - A - Thon below!
