My Fabric Mule Cometh

Oh happy days! Did I tell you that one of the lovely ladies who has been here this weekend is also my fabric mule? She has picked up some fabric orders I made and had shipped to her while she was in America, and brought them all to me this weekend. Happy, happy me!

So I am overflowing with fabric goodness here. To have all of it arrive on my doorstep in one fell swoop is amazing.

First up, from Jennifer at The Knotted Thread I got -


Some half yards of Simply Color ombres. I have some FQs of some of the prints and I have ideas buzzing round my brain of what to do with them. A bundle of the tone on tone chevrons - strictly for stash. Some flannel yardage of Terrain seed pods in orange for backing a quilt I will make with my three Terrain charm packs one day. The flannel is so tactile I just keep picking it up and hugging it.

From Super Buzzy, specially selected for me by Terri we have -


Fussy cut specials. You might notice that the yellow and red is the same print that I used for the giveaway day makes. I am showing you a close up of the double selvage so you can see how I used it as a fussy cut on the fabric basket I made.

From Amanda at Westwood Acres we have -


Two bundles. A FQ bundle of her Inside Voices IV - a bundle of the low volume fabrics that she puts together herself and that sell so quickly they are near impossible to get hold of. And a F8 bundle of the just released Full Moon Lagoon. Here's a closer look at both. The colours in Full Moon Lagoon make my heart flutter.


Finally, from Julie at Intrepid Thread, I picked up some different yardage that I fell in love with in a recent sale. All for my stash, except the Cuzvo for which some is backing and the other will join my other Cuzco until inspiration strikes.


That's all folks. The sun is shining, we have a ballet show to go watch. There is enough leftover food that dinner tonight shall be an easy affair for me. And I have yards and yards of fabric to roll around in. (I just might need more storage though.) Life is good!

  2. I didn't know Terrain was even made in flannels! I made a Terrain quilt and would have loved some flannel backing. Your colours of the new fabrics are gorgeous! Happy petting.

  8. Wow! You hit the jackpot. Seriously though, the shipping on all those was probaly the cost of a ticket. Postage from the US has gone crazy.

    such beautiful fabrics. Can't wait to see what lovely designs from from those.

  9. I'm not sure I would be brave enough to call her a *mule*! ;0) but you definitely lucked out with that great fabric haul.
    I love the crossword fabric - can you please definitely not tell me what it's called so that I can definitely not order some immediately ;0)

  31. Wow! I'm not sure I'd cope with so much gorgeous fabric turning up all at the same time! I need more fabric storage too. I'm trying to tell myself that it's really too much fabric rather than a lack of storage, but it doesn't seem to be working yet!

    ReplyDelete

  35. You got yourself a great haul there! You could try to get some storage to go with your table (how's progress with that?). Though I'm sure you won't need the extra storage for too long, you're probably full of plans of how to use it all :-)
