We're in the market for a new bed. With tax return time approaching (quietly confident, that'd be me) I am thinking it's the perfect time to invest.

the makings of a quilt

Fabric courtesy of Sheridan POP, turns out it was cheaper to buy European pillow cases on special and cut them up then to buy nice fabric. I would LOVE to make a hand screen printed quilt first but thought better of spending $300 plus on fabric for the front of the quilt on my first attempt.
That's also the beginnings of my painting nook in the background, perhaps a post of that to come ...
