James's Magic Carpet

James's Magic Carpet (1)

James's Magic Carpet is for the newest baby of one of my cousins.  It's been received by baby James so it's safe to publish now. I like the simplicity of this pattern, called Slideshow.  It was quick, but fun to do.  Five of the prints are from the 1001 Peeps line by Lizzy House.  I found one other turquoise (for the border) to go with them.  I used almost every last scrap of fabric piecing the back, so there was little waste.

Now, I'm off to work on some other pressing projects, including gearing up for my Featured Quilter gallery show at QuiltWorks in March.  I'm both excited and nervous about it.  I'm feeling like I need to have some new works to surprise people who may have seen a lot of my work around this area lately.  So I'll be working on those projects, but will keep them under wraps until after the reception. So, maybe there will be a little less sharing here in the short term, but I'll come up with something to post.  Maybe some more duck photos- there's always a need for those!
