It's a holiday weekend here in the US, so we have Monday off as well.
I'm taking advantage of it by finishing up this Japanese kid's quilt that I started for my son a couple of weeks ago.
All the fabrics are Japanese imports, mostly bought at Purl.
I cut very wide pieces of all the fabrics I love, and made a reversable quilt with an animal theme on the front side and a car theme on the back.
By quilting lines across it, I made sure it would come together fast, and hold up to washings.
It will be packed off to school and enjoyed for many many naps. I think life is a little extra good when you still get to have a regular nap every day.
Recently, I started to read and really enjoy Ravenhill blog. Emily writes this blog from Norway, and has some seriously inspirational crafty work going on here. There is a recent post there that talks about Liberty fabric, as well as a couple pictures of Japanese taupe fabric.

Her list of blogs she's reading is also very impressive, you may want to check out some of the links.
