What's up!?

This is my newest priority(aka: MUST FINISH ASAP) project.
Yes, It's Grandmother's Garden. I'm making this quilt for my dearest Grandma who is in a hospital since this February.
My Grandma had a gifted green thumb. She loves flowers and Her garden was always full of beautiful flowers.So this quilt fits in her life perfectly.



I keep those hexagons in my Shiseido cookie tin can. (yup, it's Shiseido, the cosmetic Co. but they also has a restaurant/cafe in Tokyo, very fancy place.)


The other day I went to my LQS, Fat Quarters, as weekly routine.*LOL*
and made more damages for my Hubby.*LOL*
Jo Morton's Toast 2 was there and I grabbed F-Quarters bundle. It was 25% off, good deal, Hun? (FIY, I think all F-Quarter bundle is 25%off till Saturday.)
I bought some Japanese fabrics and my latest love, French General from Moda.


Also I went to my local book store and bought the Farmer's wife sampler quilt book.
I've been keep my eye on this book for several weeks and finally, my sticky finger couldn't resist.
I need to erase all my purchase posts on this blog before my Hubby sees them! *LOL*

最新のプロジェクトです。しかも、一番先に終わらせようって思ってるキルトキルトなので数あるUFOは無視します、少しの間。(爆)
このキルト、見ての通り「Grandmother's Flower Garden(おばあさんの花園)」で、これは今年2月から入院中の大好きな祖母にプレゼントするためのものです。
祖母は昔から花が好きで、私も幼い頃から花に囲まれて暮らしていました。子供の頃はそれが当たり前のもので気が付かなかったのですが、大人になった今考えると、そういった花のある日々の暮らしの中で知らず知らず色んなことを学んでいたんですよね。。。本当にありがたい。
そして、このヘキサゴンのピースを収納するのにピッタリなTin缶、お気づきの方も多いのでは? 資生堂パーラーのクッキーの缶です。(そうそうあれだよ~、maiちゃん。次回行ったらまた買いたい。。。今度はもっと多く入ってるの。笑)
そして、最新の買い物の数々。(苦笑)
布はJoさんの一番新しいラインとLQSのオーナーがヒューストンで買い付けてきた日本のトープ、それにここ最近の私の一番のお気に入り、ModaのFrench Generalのものです。
そして、またしても本。Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt、じゅんさん、買っちゃったよ、やっぱり。(笑)

Oh Lea, I had to laugh at your comment about erasing your purchases!! I wish we could get Quilt Mania in Australia, it looks like a fabulous magazine and the Farmers Wife book looks brilliant, well done to you!!! I also LOVE you grandmother's flower garden, the fabrics are gorgeous and it is such a lovely gesture. Your blog is so much fun!

Lucky grandma to have you. She will adore her new quilt. The "flowers" are quite lovely.

Juliann said...

I love your hexagons. Somewhere I have a jar of them that I should pull out. And that French Genral fabric is very tempting too.

Jun said...

Leaさん、買われたのね、あの本(笑)。
そして大量の布...。
私は引越し前&旅行前ってことで、我慢しています。
キルトからちょっと離れているからって言うのがあるかもしれませんね

Janet said...

The hexagon quilt is going to be lovely and such a good pattern for your Grandmother. Of course I enjoyed seeing your purchases.

Colleen said...

Very pretty flower garden hexies, Lea. I know your grandmother will love it. And I have had my eye on that book too.... I am trying really hard to resist!

Leaさん、こんにちは!
今日は、じゅんさんのblogからお邪魔しました。
Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt、
私もとっても好みで、つい先日アマゾンで見て、欲しい本リストに入れたところです。
CDもあるみたいですね。
まだ、Calico gardenも始めてすぐなのに、もう、ソワソワしてしまってます。^^
