Summer Sewing

My fiance is a doll. Case in point? He's taking in my two sewing machines for repair today, so I can get going on summer sewing.

Both the Athena and my Rocketeer gave up the dust while I was working on my Storm at Sea. So it's not done. And I would REALLY love to bring that bad boy to my quilting retreat in September as a finished top, not in pieces!

I also have some very important projects to work on this summer. I have three gorgeous gifts to make for some very special ladies. And yesterday I received the most amazing fabric in the mail. I may be 28 years old (I'm going to keep saying that, because I keep forgetting and thinking I'm 29 already)... but I can still wear unicorns if I want to. This fabric is from Heather Ross's "Far Far Away" collection. I also bought some of her Mendocino fabric (with mermaids! and kelp!). The Far Far Away fabrics are doubleweight gauze, while the Mendocino are a standard quilting cotton. Don't know how I'll use all of them yet, but the unicorns on the blush background are going to become something like this:
