Fabric Friday
I know… it’s Thursday. But tomorrow is the big day for the pillow giveaway, so I thought I’d move Fabric Friday up a day.
As some of y’all know, I began working at the LQS, Quilt In Joy, earlier this year.
It’s a great quilt store specializing in Batiks and Brights. They carry a lot of novelty prints as well as a good color wall.
I asked Kathi, the store owner, if I could feature some of our new lines on the blog, and she thought that was a great idea!
The line I’m working with this week for the store sample is Beetle Boy. Cute little “buggas” all over it….that’s what my son used to call them when he was “bitty”.
This pattern is called Beetle Boy and is available here as a freebie from Clothworks. The store also has several kits for these if anyone is interested. I made this in 1 day!
Love those giant appliqued bugs! My son would have loved this quilt when he was little. He had a giant tub of bugs and snakes. He used to arrange them in rows and play with them.
We even had a bugga birthday party!

Love the quilt you made! No more “wee ones” in my house now..not even any “grand wee ones” to make it for. One day…..
Your story takes me back a few years ago with my now 22yr old. She LOVED playing with bugs in our backyard. A sunny summer “quiet” afternoon she came running in the kitchen screaming with several yellow jackets in hot pursuit! At the same time, my son did a “exit stage left” dash for the bathroom (insert door slam here!) You could see the “puff” of smoke behind him! Two very angry yellow jackets swarming above us with one clinging to her back! The chaos she created was unbelievable, I was screaming and laughing at the same time!
BTW..She was only stung once! Lorry thanks for the memory flash back, I’m going to be smiling all day today!

Lorrie, these are wonderful pictures of your quilt shop and the exciting fabrics that are featured there. I absolutely love the bright and bold bug fabric. Also have to share my son’s bug story. He liked frogs and bugs,so one day he ran in all excited to show me something that he was holding tightly in his little hand. I drew closer as he opened his hand because I was sure it was a frog, but as he opened his hand , out flew a bumble bee !!! How he grabbed a bubble bee and didn’t get stung I will never know. I was just happy when it flew out of the house.
