Who is Bobbie Lou?

Chelsea Graham is the owner of this adorable Etsy shop, and in her own words she explains,

"Bobbie Lou's Fabric Factory is inspired by and named after my Grandmother, Bobbie Lou.  She was an amazing seamstress and spent most of her free time sewing clothes, dolls, and other beautiful items for her daughters and grandchildren.  She handmade every single one of my "fancy" holiday dressed growing up as well as countless other treasured items that I hope to one day pass on to my own children."

What I noticed right away with Chelsea's shop is the bright colors and selection. Bobbie Lou's Fabric Factory offers a large selection of modern prints from your favorite designers like Michael Miller, Windham Fabrics, Amy Butler, Art Gallery Fabrics, Tula Pink, Alexander Henry, and many more!  She even has a sale section that is worth looking into.

3 down, 6 to go

swoon blocks one, two, and three hanging up on my design wall.  this will be going to someone special that i know but can't say her name yet just in case she's reading this.  i hope she likes it!  i mentioned before in this post how i prefer directional prints to go in the same direction in swoon blocks, but this time i let that slide and am enjoying the wildness of it.   i'm getting all crazy on you guys.  watch out.

i also finished up my quilt top featuring every print in every colorway of Minimalista by Art Gallery Fabrics.  this photo just makes me laugh, and i shared it last night on instagram [follow along here if you like.  i am private, but just select request]  for some reason, this photo reminds me of the shirtless men and spicy burrito quilt calendars.  [but i am fully dressed for anyone concerned. ha!]

hope you had a fabulous weekend and enjoy the start of a new week with new possibilities and beginnings!

currently || home + sewing

i thought i would poke in, and let you know what's currently going on in my life.

 . . . . on the home front

+ happy mail day!  it's amazing how this box will turn into something awesome like that photo on the right.  but it's true my friends, and i am stoked.

+ i finally got owen a bed!  i'm still thinking about paint colors.

and yes, it tested positive for lead.  boo!  i took it by a sandblaster who quoted me a minimum of $300 to take it off.  another boo.  fortunately, there is the internet and good quality air control masks you canwear, so i might be tackling this job myself away from the home of course.  if you have pointers, i would love to hear your thoughts. [you can purchase Lead Check at Lowe's Home Improvement]

+ matt and i celebrated our 6 year anniversary last weekend, and owen crashed the party.

+ a project that from here on out that will be referred to as: Project "TIMESUCKBUTTRULYGRATEFULFORTHISTIMESUCK."

so, that's not really me, but i swear i feel like i am swimming in a sea of papers right now.

+ there are also some other time sucks going on around here at the house.

okay, that's not my son either, but this captures the true essence of motherhood and what I experience on a daily basis.

via buckets and bows

okay, this is not my real laundry, but that's a real time suck.

via my real life

okay, this is a real photo of my sink.


+ Young House Love did it again by sharing the love.  thank you for the wonderful feature! [you can see the room reveal here.]  [source list here.]

 . . . . . in the sewing room


+ i shared this fabric pull on instagram [you can follow me here + i am private but just request to follow and i'll accept.].  i turned it into pluses, which will never get old for me.

+ a modern cat block i made.  actually, i made about 25 of these.  i don't even own cats, but i know many quilters do.  i'm thinking about sharing the tutorial for this super easy block, if there's any interest.

+ art gallery fabrics sent over minimalista and a few pure elements for me to play with.  [thank you AGF] i'll be working on this for the next few weeks.

+ and if you are interested in joining a modern bee, my good friend Danny, from Mommy For Reals, has some openings for her Stash Bee.  so check it out!  she's awesome, and you will love her.  you can get all the information here.

so what has been sucking up your time lately?  are you preparing for the holidays?

have a great weekend!
