Good Morning Quilters!
Things are moving very slowly here. The instructions for my new project, a replica of Jane Austen’s coverlet, call for starching all the fabrics before cutting anything out, How far did I get on this project? I bought the starch………so there is no news on this project. I bought two kinds, Best Press and a brand that the local quilt store recommended. I will let you know which one I like the best.
A new project: I am making a baby quilt for a close friend’s baby shower. She is having her first baby (a girl) and I bought fabric for that project. Their nursery has a Winnie The Pooh theme, so I found some fabric that will be appropriate, and plan on cutting squares for a simple blocked baby quilt, pairing this print with a solid square of similar color to the creamy background in the print. But nothing to show you on the quilt so far, except the fabric:
In other news today, it is Penny Lane’s birthday! She is eight years old today, and we are treating her like the spoiled dog that she is. Here is a collage of favorite pictures of the birthday girl:

The Winnie the poo fabric is very cute, the baby quilt will be loved! Happy stitching!
Nice Winnie the Pooh fabric. He's one of my favorites and has been since high school. I don't remember knowing about him before that. I like that your fabric has some contrast and depth. There's a lot of WTP fabric out now but most of it is too pastel for my likes. Looking forward to seeing your quilt. I'd be interested in knowing the name of the other starch bottle you bought. It might be the same as the "stuff" I got from Amazon by the gallon.
Happy birthday to that sweet dog! That Winnie the Pooh fabric is adorable!! I use Best Press a lot, but have also bought a new brand called Flatten that I like too.
Nothing new on the design wall to report over here (sighhhh) but I will say Happy Birthday to your sweet fur baby! Let us know what you think of the Quilters Magic. I haven't seen that brand but I do love Best Press :)
I've only used Best Press and really like it.
