Pat Sloan Focus on the Center Book Tour!

 Next up on the book tour is Vanessa Christenson! Vanessa has a clean style that I love. I admire how she can create an amazing project within a modern format that I adore. She is also a brand new fabric designer with Moda.. so she and I will be hanging out at the Moda booth in a few weeks at the trade show!

 What quilt is on your bed?
 
 the quilt on my bed is a simple vintage sheet quilt, I gathered vintage sheets and then added a few fabric squares to tie the colors together. It’s my favorite quilt, and I sleep with it every night…(the feet belong to her little boy!) 
 
What is your favorite TV show or Movie?
 
The big bang theory. I love comedy, and anything that I can quote throughout the day. Big bang theory is awesomely good!
 
Do you sneak cookies in bed or keep a hidden stash of chocolate the family can't find?
 
Dark chocolate chips is my secret treat. When I make cookies they disappear super fast, but when I have the chocolate chips just in the cupboard no one seems to think it’s allowed to eat them. And that’s okay because it just means more chocolate chips for me!

Yay.. way to go with the quilting. I guess it was easy tlikagn to strangers? And the dock.. Oy vey! Hope you folks get some relief from the rain.

[Kamal]

Ooo that inner border is so butiaufel! I love that from a distance, it is seamless and just fits perfectly, and then close-up it is mind-blowingly detailed and cool. And it really does tie in well with Anne's border. Wow! I also love how you closed it all up with the solid purple.So cool.

[Syed]

Edyta I love the borders and at first I tohguht it was a table runner, so I agree that I think it would be a beautiful spring runner ! Love your cat .we found one that looks just like him 4 1/2 years ago on a really HOT summer day and brought him in and he is still here (we named ours Rascal, and that he is)! Cannot wait to see your finished project ..
