First off I bought from the Pin It and Stitch girls - Natalie and Tracey. If you have never met them and you live in the UK then I urge you to look out for them. Two of the nicest people out there, with impeccable taste in fabrics. They'll be in Wimbledon in less than two weeks, and Malvern for the quilt show in a few weeks time.
The two Odds & Ends cuts on the left I got a great deal on as they were end of bolt cuts. As was the bit of Posy that I got, shown in the middle. Honestly, this may be Aneela's best line yet, though I am sure there are lots more good lines still to come. And then on the right I have the pink from Lucy's Crab Shack and two cuts from Type. No plans for any of these fabrics other than the firm understanding that life would be incomplete if I didn't buy them.
From another vendor (I cannot remember who) I bought a stack of Simply Color FQs.
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the pink isn't actually Simply Color, but the man didn't have any cuts of the pink left so I thought this piece of Heaven or Helsinki went just fine. There is a plan for this but I am awaiting a delivery from my fabric mule before that can proceed. In the awaited fabric are half yard cuts of the Simply Color ombres I bought in an Instagram sale from Jennifer at Knotted Threads (another incredibly nice fabric seller - modern fabric sellers are predisposed to niceness I think). Shipping was included if you lived in the USA so I had the fabric shipped to my fabric mule's LA address.
On to other news. I sold two quilts in the past few days. Really!! I am trying to act mature about it but, honestly, I am squealing like a two year old on the inside. Both quilts are small baby quilts that I have had for ages, dating back to the very early days of the blog, when I started experimenting with doing my own thing. They have sat here doing nothing ever since. Now they can go get drooled on and that makes me exceedingly happy.
The sun is shining. The birds are singing. It's a good day.

ReplyDeleteDrooling over your fabric purchases, Susan. So glad I'm not the only one that buys for the future (and not just for a specific project ;o).

ReplyDeleteWell one has to appease the credit card gods somehow, and getting a kind of trade in is soooo much better than just forking out cash ;o)
ReplyDeleteSelling quilts definitely justifies your small fabric expenditure I reckon! Well done, looking forward to seeing what you do with your new pretties :) x

ReplyDeleteso many lovely fabrics! Oh I so love simply color!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are gorgeous and OMG way to go - selling quilts! So happy for you right now as I do a little happy dance (lucky no one can see).
ReplyDeleteHoorahhh for quilt sales. I am happy dancing for you here - crazy chicken dancing at that!
ReplyDeleteI am also drooling (thankfully not literally - that would just be weird with the chicken dance!) over the grey paperclips.
Woohooo! Great haul, and yayyy for the fabric mule :). Congrats on the quilt sales, it's very satisfying isn't it :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very good day! Love your fabrics. congrats on selling the quilts. Do you have a store or did someone just see them and make you an offer you couldn't refuse?
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow stack of fabrics is getting my heart racing (or maybe that's my coffee kicking in )
ReplyDeleteAnd hello! You sold two quilts -I'd be ridiculously happy too! Well done you!
Well done on selling those quilts. How did you sell them?
ReplyDeleteWell done on selling the quilts! Is that the start of a business?

ReplyDeleteYou chose your fabric well in amongst the fuglys. Many congratulations on your sales *happy dance. Di x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics - I love the colours in the Simply Color range and those typewriters are just so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic news about selling your quilts :) I have just started cutting into my stash of Posy fabrics - it hurt - but I'm hoping the result will be well worth it!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric purchases. I'm jealous - but I didn't need to tell you that did I? Congratulations on the sale of the quilts. If it were me I'd be giddy as a child!
ReplyDeleteLove the Simply Color fabrics and I might just have some of the typewriter and paper clips lurking in my stash with no particular plan too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the quilt sales, squealing with delight seems absolutely the right response to me.
Fab news on your sales! Definitely deserves a squeal!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new fabrics and congratulations on the sales - that must feel marvellous!
