When I was reading daily messages just noticed Craftsy's end summer sale...It was really great opportunity to catch online some courses at the last minute.  I have so many books related with quilting but those mentioned classes are just for me!!! 

"Color play for quilters" and "Painted pictorial quilts" are the online classes I've just enrolled, I'm sure that they will help me a lot to create some new things...

Several years ago I saw a lovely quilt at a Pizzeria, it was a lovely, cozy living room with fantastic details such as a fireplace at the background. I always wanted to create something like that but I didn't know where to start. I bet, this online class will help me for a good beginning.

I'm so excited to get started:)))

My new fabrics

Last week I've ordered some fabrics from Fabric.com. It was my first trial from that mentioned company and I should almost cancel my order at the last moment when I saw the total shipping cost. But, the prices of the fabrics were worthy to pay for that amount for the total cost and I decided to pay that high shopping cost. Yesterday UPS brought this box, it was full of with my new toys:)) I'm so happy that I didn't cancel my order, otherwise I'll be a real loser!

I would like to share some of my new fabrics panels with you.

This Victorian fabric is so lovely. It is for sure that I'll use this fabric as a whole panel, no way I can cut it into pieces! I never want to waste any piece of it.

This is another one that I loved, I think I'll use it as it is to make a wall hanger. Maybe I can make crazy borders with some embellishments. I still keep continue to collect charms and beads with the winter and snow themes. Its prototype is ready already in my mind. I'm looking forward to give a start when the weather starts to get a little bit cooler. To look at this lovely Victorian skating scene is super when we are having hot steamy weather in the mid of the July.

This is another fabric panel that is my favorite; the sisterhood of quilters, I'll make a small quilt to devote my quilt friends...I plan to make another crazy wallhanger.

I got so much impressed upon super service of the Fabric.com. It is for sure that I'll be their a loyal customer from now on:))

I love to collect charms and buttons and I love to find new sources to have more interesting things. I had some bad experiences in the past with my orders, my two orders got lost! What a coincidence that I couldn't receive my two orders from the same company. I must admit that I didn't care about the nonrefundable money, I got so worry about all those lovely buttons and charms that I was waiting crazily.

Anyway, I'm so much happy for the service of the fabric.com, I'll place another order again with their current super prices.

"Heart" swap block finished:)

Finally, I completed embellishment part of the little heart that I make for Mary. It is the most fun part so I completed easily. At first, I did one of my favorite seam treatment with long chain stitches, after adding their seed beads, I decided to add a beaded oya trim on the pink patch to make a good contrast with the bottom beige fabric. I didn't want to leave beaded oya trim as it is...I added pearl drops and chain stitches to form little flowers at its top side.

I think, these little antique looking charms looked nice!

I like these little oyas so much and I love to use them at every possibility. I added a few of them on the right side and made final touches with green floss and added small butterlies.

This is the final of the little block. Now, I'll applique it on the muslin that Mary sent me with her swap baggie. I made my heart according to its original size as she drew on the muslin. Afterwords it will be ready to start its long journey.

I have another RR block to complete as of Wednesday than I'll start a new project. I'm so excited about it. Of course I'll share it here with you all:))

My New Fabric Panels from U.K.

Last week, when I was trying to find new fabric vendors, I found Fabric Inspirations from U.K.

I've ordered six pieces of panels with different themes. Yesterday they arrived. I think there is no need for the any other word to tell my happiness when I saw them. They are so lovely, and arrived in short time.
But, I still keep continue to find interesting panels with the Victorian era images. I especially seek themes, "Tea-Time", "Victorian Ladies", "Holiday Season" etc.... Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.
