They say that are eyes are the windows of our souls. I think in a way it's true. It's really hard to tell what people are thinking unless you can actually see their eyes. (or so I believe at least!)
This weekend we had some alone time as adults because my generous sister babysat and I left the house with just my husband.
We did spend some time together with Auntie Co Co on Saturday night, however, and my sister got me addicted to a new quilt pattern - cathedral windows.
There's a lot of hand work going on here, but it's a cool way to showcase many different fabrics in a small space. I'm hooked!

Your creations are exquisite! Wow!
I love cathedral windows quilts, but I've never sat down to figure it out. It just looks so beautiful though.
Just found your blog, and I love all of your projects! You are quite the inspiration.
I just came back from Japan and Yuzawaya was one of my grandmother's favorite craft stores, so you know I made a stop. It's such a great store!
That takes my breath away. I have seen the pattern before, but none so lovely.

Thank you for dropping by my blog :)
What beautiful things you make!
Please join the hand printed fabric swap! I would love to have some "written" fabric! Your work is lovely and I am hoping for a really ecclectic mix.
I like Cathedral windows, but I would never do it... (I'd rather sash with white...) BTW I have that "feathered" print - in my "cat fur" fabric stash! Look again, it does kind of look like cat fur!
Your cathedral windows are SO STUNNING! And your photo... what a shot! I've always thought cw's were cool, but not something I'd ever make. Now seeing yours... looking so hip, crisp and fun... I'm considering doing a few.
Stunning and beautiful!

It's been so much fun reading your blog -- it's not just your quilting (the cathedral windows are really something) but the photos are great. My daughter studied Japanese and is very into all things Japanese, so I want to make her a Japanese-style quilt. I will come to your blog for inspiration!

Wow your sister sure sounds nice. I love your finished block.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it. I promise not to leave my quilting fabric in the washer. I do have some lovely fabric and I have sewn a lot, but I have never made a quilt. (don't tell) I do have a good friend who quilts and I am hoping to have her help me get started this summer.
Beautiful! Thanks for the comment on my blog! I love the cathedral windows - that is one I have not tried yet.
Hello Marisa!
I love visiting your blog (off my roll) and checking out your beautiful creations. You are so talented! Thanks so much for posting your CW quilt with a link to the instructions. The reds and greens are gorgeous! I was so inspired that I decided to give CW a try and posted the WIP on my blog. Such fun! Thank you!
