I’ve been participating in Angela’s Fabric Diet – and all January, I was really good, and stuck to my diet. Then I went away last weekend, and there was an LQS (well, sort of, it was only 20-30 minutes out of my way), and I try to support support local shops. So I stopped [...]

Destashing

I did some fabric sorting and organizing recently — And found a bunch of fabric that I’ve got more than I really need. It’s the excess I get from buying yardage, with 1/2 yard or yard minimums. I’m keeping some of each of these fabrics, but putting the extra fat quarters in my shop. Some [...]
Art Deco Inspirations…
Posted in Fabric, tagged fabric on September 23, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Just because I haven’t had time to sew much lately, doesn’t mean I haven’t had time for fabric shopping… Has anyone else noticed a group of new art-deco inspired fabrics? I love art deco motif’s, so I’m quickly acquiring a pile of them in both warm and cool colors. I haven’t decided what I’m doing [...]
Quilting with solids

I doubt I’m alone in this, but I’ve been thinking about solids alot lately. My “Daydreaming” quilt – inspired by City Quilts – still needs to be quilted – but I’ve been doodling more solids quilt ideas on envelop backs and the like. And, then, look what landed in my mail box for my Fresh [...]
Getting Ahead of Myself

I have four active projects as I type, not to mention my monthly bee blocks, that all really need my attention. This is not one of those projects – I don’t need another project, but I went and pulled this stack of fabric from my stash anyways.

Planning a new Quilt
Posted in Fabric, WorksInProgress, tagged fabric, gift, quilt planning on August 23, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I’m planning a gift quilt for a family birthday in September. I love making things for people I love, but gift quilts are often the hardest to plan, since the recipients often have a more traditional style than I do, and I want the gift to reflect their tastes and mesh with their home. Nicey [...]
Lagniappe

Lagniappe: a little something special. My new vocabulary from the DQS9 discussion board — I really like that there’s a word for this. And I really like the lagniappe I’m including with my quilt this time: note cards with fabric patchwork swatches. I’m unusually matchy with this project, so these are made from the same [...]
New fabric, new block

As I said here, new fabric = charity block. So a couple of yards of Alexander Henry geometric prints, and a sunny yellow block for Rainbow Around the Block
Justifying…
Posted in Fabric on July 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »
This is the danger of shopping online, I was hunting for a particular fabric for my Doll Quilt Swap project — and since I was already paying the shipping, and I’d been eyeing Tufted Tweets for months, added a bunch more fabric to the order and told myself it was completely justified. :)
