Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, friends! Today I get to share my latest quilt top, made from that gorgeous Anna Maria bundle I shared last week.

A New Fabric Pull and NTT

Treat Yourself!
Hey there, y'all! It just so happens that this month's sponsor post falls on Valentine's Day, and I don't know of a better gift for yourself than fabric! So, I've rounded up some of the very best happenings from my favorite shops around the web. Read on, friends!
At LouLou's Fabric shop, there are tons of markdowns going on. All Valentine's Day fabrics are 25% off, and many Christmas fabrics are even lower! Even if you're not in the mood for holiday fabric, there are plenty of sales to be had on yardage and bundles that aren't holiday themed, like this fresh and pretty Homestead collection.

Flower Shower and NTT
Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, friends! What a difference a week makes. Last week, we were waiting out an ice storm (and we did get just under 1/2" accumulation here), and today it is in the upper 60's and feeling very much like spring. We lost some limbs from a big pine tree in our yard, so we did have quite a bit of cleanup this weekend, but it could have been SO much worse for us, and I'm very thankful it wasn't.

Waiting out the Ice Storm and NTT
Happy Needle and Thursday, friends! The story of this week, aside from finishing my book revisions, is the ice storm that is sitting over the middle of the US. Here in the Memphis metro area, we've had about 1/4" of ice so far, with a little more expected overnight tonight. The ice-coated trees and and icicles on the houses are really beautiful, but boy do they cause problems. We've been very lucky that we've kept power, but there are others who are not faring as well. Knowing the ice storm was coming and not knowing what to expect, I worked late Monday night finishing the review of my book draft. I didn't want to be stuck with no power and a deadline looming.
Between watching the sleet and freezing rain and watching the weather forecast, since my book review was finished, I finally got to baste my latest quilt. It's laid across my table (which is why it isn't super smooth) and ready to quilt!
