Receiving fabric is always fabulous. I like it even better when it’s a gift - there’s something about not picking it out yourself that’s kind of fun. This year I mentioned (many, many times) that I’d love to receive a box of fabric for Christmas. I was told (over and over) that no one would [...]
I’ve seen several “a year in review” type posts today, and it seems only appropriate that I do the same.
Last year at this time I never would have imagined that I’d have a blog, or that I’d become a quilter, or that I’d rather buy fabric than clothing. Who would have guessed!
In fact, it’s only [...]
Good times! Thanks to everyone who provided recommendations.
We did take a LONG walk to Purl Patchwork - great little store with fabric to the ceiling. I picked up a few prints - mainly polka dots (see, I just can’t help myself!). It looks like I may have to start another polka dot quilt! (speaking of, [...]
I’m sad that this fabric line has been discontinued, but it did give me a good reason to stock up!
I’m sure I’ll be ordering more in the near future, but for now this is a start… I think it’s destined to become part of yet another quilt.
We’re headed to NYC for the weekend for a [...]
It was supposed to rain here last weekend, so we figured it would be a good painting weekend (the weathermen were wrong, by the way…). Our bedroom was the only room we didn’t paint when we bought this place. It was painted a gold color, and while it wouldn’t have been my top pick for [...]
That was my day last Sunday.
Several weeks ago when I posted about how much I wanted some of the out of print Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy fabrics, I received an email from Jess of Juicy Bits. She made my day by letting me know that she had recently been to a fabric store on [...]
This past weekend we headed down to Boston for my best friend’s wedding. It was beautiful, and a lot of fun. We then had a chance to go out to the Cape for a couple days with my college roommate. I hadn’t seen her in ages (I can’t even remember the last time, so it [...]
Just a quick post today… I’m too busy figuring out how to use my new machine!
I went to our local quilting store last night for some fabric, and came out with this instead.
My old hand-me-down machine goes forwards and backwards, and that’s about it, so right now I’m a little intimidated by this new one. [...]
Just a quick post today to show one of my recent yard sale finds
Morgan said we didn’t need it, and maybe he’s right… I didn’t really NEED it, but I certainly did want it! I love the bright yellow paint, the rust showing through and the curved legs of the stand.
And for only $5! Who [...]
How great is this fabric? I ordered this online recently and it just arrived. It’s a Marimekko print - Päärynä - which maybe means “pear”… it sounds close anyway…
My thought was that it would make a great wall hanging - stretched over a canvas perhaps?
What you might not be able to tell is the size [...]
