Blues, Greens, and Aquas : :

I have been wondering how many of you just buy fabric for the heck of it, because I never have a plan or even an idea what they will become. I just randomly purchase 1/2 yard cuts, admire them in a nice new stack for a day or two, and then tuck them away with the others until I get an idea. I am assuming this is normal?

Well lately, I have been really drawn to blues, greens, and aquas. It's a nice break from all the reds and pinks that I have been working with, as you can see from my February crafts so far. So, when these new goodies arrived I was happy to see them -- A new project journal, since my last one was taken over by my partner, and some very cool new fabrics from Quilt Home.

The above was the case with these until I recently saw the Sew Mama Sew Words to Live By pillow contest and immediately knew what to do. Happy too, that this idea will require me to turn to my hoops -- I really don't use them nearly enough.

I shared the plan with my son Kaiden, who this pillow will be for, and he is thrilled -- Hooray! He picked out the thread for the stitching...

And nothing but blues, greens, and aquas from my fabric -- perfect!  

Don't you just love it when not having a plan comes together?
