I just felt like showing you. :wink:
My daughter chose these from my stash for her next ragged flannel. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/00bf5edc.jpg[/img] My son's girl, Jenny, and I went shopping for her fabric today! This is a combination of some stash and what she found at the LQS--well kind of local. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/d1b78d6d.jpg[/img] And this is a photo scanned form McCall's Quick Quilts magazine--Sept 2009 issue, of an applique I want to try. I wasn't going to do it anytime soon, but saw these the two coodinating fabrics at Joanne's yesterday, so grabbed them while they were there. Then, since Jenny and I were standing in a quilt shop today :D , I poked around for some blues to go with the two and found what's in the last picture. It's a challenge to match! There are so many gorgeous "white" and blues, but they're really cream and blue. Bummer. :? Someday I'll learn to just buy fabrics someone already said go together! :roll: The pattern from Quick Quilts: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/d279d324.jpg[/img] The first two--you can clearly see why they were a perfect start! :wink: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/856220ae.jpg[/img] And the two with the others.... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/f468953f.jpg[/img] Plus, I'll be working on those bookmarks for students. And, I have potholders to make for a craft show...fabric in the middle here: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/b0690236.jpg[/img] And I only get to the sewing room on weekends. I'm in big trouble. :shock: I have a tilting stack of new fabric waiting to get rinsed--I'll start tomorrrow! (But , if it's nice I'll be outside......) |
Well for the sake of your sanilty... I hope the weather is not all that great tomorrow :shock: That way you can start working with all the wonderful fabric :lol:
|
I love all your fabrics! I think you did great matching the blue fabrics!!
|
The second from the left doesn't look right to me from the photo--but it looks good in person. :D
|
Beautiful fabrics
|
I like your fabrics.... all of them. Your daughter did a great job of picking out her fabrics. looks like you have some work to keep you busy on the weekends!
|
OOOOOh. Pretty. That oughta keep you busy for a while.
|
ROFLMAO! I have several of those fabrics! What did I tell you about our similar (exceptionally good )tastes!!!
My friend JoeAnn and I are scary that way. I can't tell you how many times we gone to each other and said "Oh, look at the great fabric I just bought" and then we both pulled out the exact same fabric. In fact when I threatened to come raid her stash recently, her reply was "Why bother? You have most of the same fabric already anyhow!" :lol: :lol: :lol: |
Your DD's new quilt fabric is great. It wil be smashing.
The others look great, too. The blue quilt is pretty, can't wait to see yours. |
Looks like you have your work cut out for yourself!
Or, at least ... you will in a few days, eh? LOL |
