Crooked Gulley Art Quilts

I went fabric shopping... I really wasn't going to buy anything...Really!!!  But, I found this great shop in Winston Salem, NC.

Fabric to die for! Here's the fabric for my fun skirts... I'm going to use the Amy Butler pattern.  My plan is to take T-shirts that will go with both skirts and pairs of black and khaki capris.  This girl will be traveling lite!!!

I thinik Avery, the older of the two - 5 years old - will get the green skirt. Caroline needs the Carol...

Now the table topper ....  We have a sweet old orange cat named Miss Puny Puss.   I wanted ...
