Here it is.
The Birdie and Candy Land fabric will be made into pillowcases for Amelia. I love pillowcases. Quick to do and they show off fun fabrics. Instant gratification is good in my book.
Next is some Wildflowers yardage by Heather Mulder Peterson. My LQS has an annual anniversary sale in May and I got these for 20% off. Not bad. She just got these bolts in too. I wish she had gotten more of the collection. Maybe some of the reds. But I'll take what I can get. I have plans to go to another quilt shop on Saturday morning since I haven't been there in ages and see what they have. Last time I was there, this other shop had Wildflowers. I'm sure it won't still be there but doesn't hurt to check!
And then I thought I was done shopping. But NOOOOOOOOO.
Here is some Rebel Roses yardage by Heather MP. The story goes like this. Last year some time, Heather was promoting some table runner kits and her Sizzling Sixties pattern book and a 60' ruler on her blog. I LOVED the tablerunner so I snatched up a kit. Never looked at it again. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I have so many things started (don't we all) and other things waiting to see the light of day. So I dug around and decided to make a new runner for my table. I dove right in and started making my pieced hexagons ONLY to find out that I was shorted some fabric!! WHHHHHHHYYYYYYY?!?! I cried! Of course the hexagons I started were the ones short fabric.
Okay, seriously. What is up with Blogger?? Every third picture is going to be oriented wrong?! It's fine in my folder.
I quickly ran to the computer (while swearing up a storm!) and found some yardage doing a quiltshops.com search. FYI - LOVE that search engine. It is marvelous! One shop had 2 of the three I was missing. I needed to substitute the blue print for another. No one around had the blue print I needed. A couple of shops in New Zealand did.... I passed. Now that my additional yardage is here, I can continue working on my hexagons. Hopefully I'll have the top pieced soon so that I can show it to you.
Enjoy your day!

I love all those fabrics. What a great idea to make pillowcases. Do you have a pattern? That stinks about the fabric coming up short. I'd write to who you got it from and let them know...maybe they have more of the blue fabric they could send you?
ReplyDeleteI love that search engine too, many a times I've found just what I needed. Those pillow cases are going to be so cute. Speaking of cute, your new picture in your title area of Amelia is darling with the cow face painting. I put the Chirp fabric in the mail for you today.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright fabric in the first picture. Candyland ... now that brings back memories! The pillow cases will look great.
