Who needs some fabric? Or, a de-stash in progress.

I at least 7 gallon size bags full of random fabric in need of a good home. Most pieces are large enough to cut from, and nothing smaller than about a 2 inch square (think fat eighth to fat quarter). There are different prints in each bag, but the sizing is pretty consistent, and all of it is quilters cotton. If you are interested in one or all, email me and I will send it to you for the cost of shipping. These just need a good home.

purse fabric

here it is, purse fabric for Lola's mystery. I'm on pins and needles waiting for my mystery purse instructions. the brown under the blue will also be for a dress I'm starting today. i hope the dress turns out ok, and looks nice on me. i will have pics of that when its finished.

5 hours later

i spent 21.61 today, and got 13 yards of fabric. woohoo. the ruler fabric on top is throwing my average off, it was 8 bucks for the yard. boo. but that ones for the purse. plus, the store had 20% off everything today, which was super. i have also included pics of the ipod cozy/case's that i have made, the spidey one has a pocket for earbuds or the cord, but one of the legs didn't line up. boo. the top pic is my camera case, for my Nikon p80. i love that camera. and the case has a long strap so i can wear it over my shoulder. which i love, hands free.

just realised there are some onesies up there too. i appliqued those my self for my new cousin in laws baby. what do you think, are those sellable? they're pretty stinkin cute.

you can still enter to win the hotel give away (til dec3, hurry up). scroll down alot or go here.

Off to the fabric store

Very soon i will be leaving to go buy fabric(yay!) for various Xmas gifts. and my new purse. I am hoping i will find everything i want in the flat fold section. this year its aprons and hot pads to match. mainly because no one i know has a cute apron. And i like to make them.

there may also be some stash building going on. please don't tell my husband. he thinks my fabric is worth alot less than it is. ie, its all flat fold and he hasn't seen my receipts. (or the 2 bolts under the dresser). occasionally i buy full price if its fantastic. Which i will do today. for my new purse. because all my waiting has not gotten this fabric into the flat fold section where i want it to be.

Tim if you read this sorry i'm being sneaky.... i love you!

yay shopping!

I'm still here

Well, here's what I've been doing lately. I've been working on these star blocks, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Although seeing the red/brown on the computer is making me rethink that block, its too dark. I have about 12 blocks pieced, and i picked up some more star fabric at a new shop I've been checking out. they have a flat fold section for 1.69 a yard and about half the shop is new bolt for around 3 a yard. I bought 12 yards for under 30 bucks and it was so fun. I can buy so much more fabric!!





I am almost finished with this crazy block, but I'm so close to edge with the french knots, and i think i have 3 layers of denim under them, that its such a huge pain, and i feel like I'm yanking the thread through, so its slow going. But i love the hearts i did, they're so cute.

I also made a couple of messenger bags, one for me with shoe fabric (so cute/funky) and for my husband with some sock monkeys outside and bananas inside, that was a lot of fun.
