Perkins Dry Goods

My friend Jenni kindly reminded me that I need to update my blog. It’s been almost a month, point taken!

Lots of things have been happening here. Son #1 graduated from high school, twin niece and nephew made their first communion, I celebrated a major birthday with a surprise party thrown by my wonderful husband and children. We had family visit from California and Colorado. There hasn’t been this much going on since we had babies being baptized!

Big news around here is about the Iowa flooding. Having a son who is looking forward to starting at the University of Iowa in Iowa City this fall has given this disaster a whole new meaning.  I can’t imagine going through something like that.  The people involved have been so very supportive of one another.  Click here to see images on campus. And an excellent flood information blog by the University News Service.

New projects have also been in the works - still not ready enough to share too much about, but here’s a sneak peak at some of the fabrics I’m auditioning.

More quilty topics coming soon - I promise!

Happy New Year! 

Now that the holidays are behind me, it’s time for some new projects.  I started working on a mystery for a retreat I will be doing two classes for in March.  I promise I won’t give anything away!  These are the fabrics I’m playng with to make sure the blocks go together just right.  At first I thought it would be yellow and blue, but I’m finding that I like the peachy pink with these cute blue prints.
