My dream of having bolts of Christmas fabric in the shop has come true! Maude Asbury’s line Tinsel arrived last week & I’m sooo pleased with it. We’ve already been planning samples from it. It’s full of prancing reindeer, whimsy Christmas trees, argyle prints & frosty mittens! I’ve even snagged yardage for my own stash, but who could blame me, right?
These are a few of my fave’s from the line..
More Christmas fabrics arriving soon from Riley Blake. We ordered the Alpine Wonderland collection by Sheri Berry, who now goes by the name Sheri McCulley Studios. Check out her blog for some sneak peeks!
I also wanted to share with you all the fabric finds Paige and I came across last weekend at our local quilt shops. I picked up a print from Rouenneries Deux by French General for Moda and some coordinating Anna Griffin prints at Pieceful Gatherings in Fox River Grove. I’m totally in love with the panel print with the birds on it!
Material Girl in Crystal Lake has a full range of colors of the Shot Cottons by Kaffe. Shot cotton is special because the warp and weft yarns are 2 different colors woven together to create a special depth, a “shot” of color. When the edge of this fabric ravels, you can see a bright contrast to the body of the fabric. It has a linen look to it and I love to embroidery on these kinds of fabrics, so I bought one of each!
We also visited A Touch of Amish in Barrington. The new Halloween line Happy Halloween from Moda was in.
I have to STOP shopping! I have too much fabric and not enough time!
Paige comes back from Spring Market this weekend to share with us all her great finds for upcoming fabric lines so be sure to check back for that.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Happy Monday!
I can already hear the moans out there:) But if you’re one of the lucky ones who get the day off, it’s the perfect opportunity to get something done. I’m a big believer in any task, small or large, that you can accomplish in the day is rewarding. It makes us feel good. It’s satisfying and always makes me geared up to take on the next task.
Our SewMod group had 1 year to make 7 rows, each of them different, for each member in the group. Each of us provided a fat quarter for focus and we took off from there. For example, I made stars for Andrea from her fabric, dresdens for Shelley from hers…etc. In the end we will each have a completed quilt. I know, it’s a little confusing. It took me forever to figure it out.
We do our row swap in just 2 short weeks at our monthly meeting.
So, I’m using today’s post to encourage any of the group who haven’t finished to git”r”done!
Here’s a few of the girls’ rows completed so far.
Aren’t they awesome! Their creativity amazes me and I’m ever so honored that I was invited into this group. It’s literally changed my life….but more on that subject at a later date:)…. I know, the suspense will kill you, won’t it?:))
I can’t wait to show you my completed rows in a couple of weeks. My focus fabric is Halloween!
