I got some delicious fabric in the mail today that I thought I’d share. Like most quilters, new and beautiful fabrics are very hard to resist for me. Pink Chalk was (and still is?) having a big sale and I picked up a couple pieces.
Hmm, so the one at the bottom, it is navy blue with green twiddles on it, that is by Amy Butler from her latest line, Lark. Ditto the red wavy fabric, top right. The two pink pieces are Heather Bailey, Nicey Jane. The green and the aqua swirly fabrics are by Khristian Howard. The light purple with chairs and chandeliers is a Lecien print.
I’m pretty happy with how nicely these two go together. Funny, I only ordered the purple because it was so cheap-$2.74/yd-and it turns out I like it best.
Now I have to find a purpose for them. I’m not yet 100% on board with the Farmer’s Wife quilt along, and I have already made quilts for everyone I love most (barring those who can make their own quilts, Libs). Suggestions?
Maybe it is time for round 2 of quilts for the people you love the most?! ;)
I second that motion, xoxo
I just wanted to let you know if you’re ever in Kitchener for some random reason, Creative Sewing Centre is having a blow out closing sale for the next month (i think until March 12th or something). It’s where I did my longarm quilting. She has a huge selection of quilting/embroidery/stitch craft equipment and accessories. Most things 35% off, fabric 40% off, though she has almost no fabric. I got a bias tape maker. But if you’re interested in sewing machines or what not, they’re a fair deal cheaper than what you’d pay new. She also said she’d get in anything new for 25% off until she closes, so I’m going to grab a quilting table attachment for my sewing machine. I know it’s far from toronto… but i don’t know alot of quilters, and feel like I gotta tell SOMEONE!..haha. :)
