Plus, after proudly voting last night (got to love democracy) I've spent the whole day on the edge of my seat but we still don't have a government! So I was fed up until I got home and found a package from America. FABRIC!
I bought 5 yards of this fabric from Fat Quarter Shop because it was on sale and seemed like a complete bargain.
It's Green Cherry Blossoms from the Full Bloom range by Bari J Ackerman and the more I looked at it, the more I fell in love with it so I searched out these two beauties on eQuilter.
Blue Tea Party and Lavender Tea Party from the same range. Grey clouds lifting, bright colours making me smile. I have no idea what to do with them because they're very large prints but I'm happy just to look at them tonight.
Wonderful fabrics! I fondle my favorite fabrics often and wish I could just hang them on the walls like tapestries!
ReplyDeleteHowever, if you don't already have it, you MUST, MUST, MUST look at the book 'Just Can't Cut It: Quilts from Fabulous Fabrics' by Pamela Mostek. (It's on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/156477449X/cgiscripts) I'm sure it's available elsewhere.
This book is *fabulous* for inspiring you to do something creative with large scale fabrics. I'm so glad I have a copy of it; I know you will find is fantastic also. :-)
happy quilting!
