Excitement

Last week my sister and I experienced a "first" together. We went with our mom to a quilt show. It was actually much more fun that I thought. I even bought something! (pictures of this will be posted later once I actually get it made with much help from my mom.) Mom also told us both that she wants to make us quilts so she wanted us to pick out the fabric and a pattern if we saw one we liked.

At the quilt show I came across a quilt that I immediately fell in love with. I loved the pattern! It is called Wedding Rings. It is pictured below.

Thus began the search for the pattern. I was able to find it online, but didn't want to pay as much as it was online. Also at the quilt show, I saw the fabric line that I wanted Mom to use for the quilt. It is called "Cherish" by Moda. I love Moda fabics!

So today I went in search of the pattern and fabric. I didn't find the fabric line at the quilt shop here in Wichita, but they do have it at Needle in a Haystack (Yes, that is the name of the Quilt Shop!) so Mom and I are going to go Sunday afternoon to get the fabric.

I was able to find the pattern at Prairie Quilts which is closing and moving to the Delano district downtown and reopening as Material Girl! As an added bonus, I ran across a really cute pattern book called Shams with Style that has some awesome pillows that I'm hoping to help Mom make to match my quilt. A few of the pillows I like are pictured below.
