New Love......

Confessions of a Fabric-o-holic:  Whoops, I did it again, I keep buying fabric as if it will be extinct tomorrow!!  Oh the joys of receiving a beautifully wrapped box of brand new, smooth, crisp fabric. I am especially endeared with the FQ shop as they package things so nicely! I also bought some in this little quilt shop on vacation called Q.

Fabric stash of favorites

But my new found crush in fabrics is by Bonnie and Camille,  mother and daughter team.  I just absolutely love everything about their fabric. The colors, the patterns, the graphics, sigh! I even have lost sleep over it, how's that for a real crush?  I have so many plans and designs for these, I can't wait to get started. For the record, this is one of the very few fabrics that I have purchased more than 2 yards of, like 3 and 5 yards, this is serious people! 


My heart belongs to Bonnie & Camille

So here is the close up of my Bonnie and Camille section in the fabric stash. I was very happy to make room for them.  For the record, these fabrics are from the Ruby and Vintage Modern collection. Coming up next is Marmalade, with orange.  What's your new crush, fabric or not? Do tell!

Christmas Once a Month Project #5

First, I must beg your pardon as I overlooked the date (15th) for the Christmas Once a Month posts as outlined  here  at Julie's blog. I don't know now if I'm ahead or behind?    In any case, I do hope this project will make up for my oversight. I have had this pattern on my mind since I first worked with half square triangles on this project .  I am happy to say this is one of my own inventions, as I did not use any pattern. Yay! I started with a clear idea and made the rest up as I went along! Some people collect scraps for a giant scrappy quilt, I prefer more immediate gratification by making something more compact in a fraction of the time! Truthfully, finishing something (like a quilt) gives me great satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment I don't get doing other things;  I'm addicted! One perk was that I did it entirely with leftovers: Squares, 5 inch charms and smaller 2 1/2 inch squares, various strips...
