Working on Satchels Again.

I have been quite vocal on how much I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics. His colors and designs just call to me. So, about a year ago I started working on "Satchels" where every appliqued basket was made with Kaffe's.

Anybody remember this?

Or this?

Or these?

I had the quilt 90% finished and then it got put away while other things pushed to the front.

But, deep down I kept telling "Satchels" that she really was my favorite, and I would pay attention to her very soon.

This last week I have been quite focused on finishing Satchels. I thought I would dive in, devote a day or two and have her done.

Then the wheels in my brain started spinning and I began to visualize that this would be a perfect quilt to add in Texture Magic. I did some revamping, unpicking, restitching and finally "Satchels" is starting to look good.

I promise the big reveal will be very soon. Maybe.

Right now I'm practically jumping out of my skin every time the phone rings. Daughter #2 has a baby due any moment. (In fact she is past her due date). The minute she goes into labor I will jump in the car and be out the door in a flash for the 7 hour drive to Phoenix.

But until then, I'll keep stitching away on Satchels.
