Thank you et merci for visiting my blog! What would this blog be without you? I really appreciate all of your visits and comments (those in French as well as those in English).
As a way to say thanks, I'm planning a give-away for next Monday (January 12th) -- I hope you'll be able to stop by!
I'm not usually very good at making (or keeping) new year's resolutions. This year, though, I'd really like to make a patchwork quilt. I've wanted to make one for a looong time. I even started one for my son's crib, but when he was delivered several months earlier than expected, I never managed to complete it. Thankfully, my (very thoughtful) mom came to France for a visit, took the unfinished quilt with her to the US, finished it, and then sent it back to me.Among the many beautiful blogs that have inspired me to finally make a quilt are Thimbleanna, Crazy Mom Quilts, and Simplify. Even if you never intend to do any quilting, these blogs are so fun to visit.
As a start toward making a quilt this year, I went through my stash last night and chose these fabrics. They are all vintage/thrifted and a quilt seems like a nice way to give them new life and yet preserve them, too. The other thing I should work on in 2009 is taking better photos, but that's another story!

Hi! I love to hear from you. Please know that I appreciate your comments and e-mails even though I am not always able to respond. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: I grew up in the United States and now live near Paris with my husband (who is French) and our son. I like all things vintage and making things by hand.
