I’m slowly but surely getting used to using Ubuntu. It’s been rather frustrating at times but at this point I have no desire to return to windows, and specifically Vista, at all. I just need to figure out how to get my Sirius to work.
Anyway, here are the 2 more interesting fabrics I got at Fabricland. The first is the deer print I found on the table of Xmas prints. It doesn’t look that festive to me, but what do I know?
I’m planning on using it (and other green prints) to make a souped up version of Denyse Schmidt’s Hills ‘n’ Hollers quilt. I want it to look more like trees. At least, that’s the plan for now.
This stuff, I don’t know. It just appealed to me and I don’t have any black based fabric and now I do.
It’s pretty silly looking, I know, but once it’s chopped into squares or strips, it will look totally different.
Oh Caitlin,
We have never met, but I find you so so entertaining. This evening while I pretend not to notice the post-dinner mess in my kitchen, I was reading through old posts on here. Not only have I been laughing to myself, but I practically had to take notes on points of interest to bring up with you. I didn’t, in the end, because I thought that might take my interest almost to a weird, collect-your-hair-to-make-a-doll type creepiness.
Love that second fabric! And no, the green one doesn’t look that festive to me either!
Laura, I’d be happy to mail you the hair I pull out of my brush. I can’t guarantee it’s all mine, but most of it is. I’d also pull it out of the bath drain if I could find rubber gloves and a haz-mat suit.
Sincerely, I hope we meet irl in a couple weeks!
Caitlin,
I am sorry to be blocking up your comments box, but I have a query.
My brother is flying over here soon and I want him to bring me some more Dr Bronners. (hard to find here and expensive when you do) He lives in Mississauga. Do you know of stores in the GTA that stock the 32oz bottles for decent prices?
Thanks!
Laura
Is that the biggest size? I get mine in Kensington, at the bulk health food store, that’s where it’s cheapest (usually) but they sell it at Noah’s and American Apparel (HA! WEIRD!) too, but in limited scents. And I’d have him check first (if he goes to AA, if it’s convientest), like, call, before just to check which ones they have.
Kensington, though. But I would be willing to bet that almost any natural food store that sells soaps and shit has it, even in Mississaugua.
Hi from sunny but cool FL. Love both of the fabrics and I agree with Jenn’s comment that the green doesn’t look like it’s “festive” or anything else to do with Christmas. I adore the other one.
Hills and Hollers looks like it’s applique rather than pieced – am I right? What a pretty quilt your fabrics will make. xoxo to all
I liked you blog to begin with, but now that there’s a quote from my favorite movie ever in its header, I like it so much more!
Gosia: for real, Cabaret has been in my life, my entire life. Love the movie soundtrack, love the Broadway soundtrack. Shannon took me to see it live a million years ago here, in Toronto and it was SO GOOD.
And I love Liza Minelli. People call her a survivor, and it’s true, she is.
Mumma: yes, hills is an appliquéd quilt. I’m going to blog one day about my fave quilt blogs…
