play.work.play

Having some fun abstract PLAY on my wall today, It's BIG... and I want to get it off my design wall so I can move the Santa Blocks over to it!

I rcvd a few more last night! Diane S, sent the Hexagon and small triangle Santa's. Aren't they fun?? and Nina Lise sent the Santa whistling in the trees! (Did you know Nina Lise has a great book out? Gledesspredere you can order it at this link)

So much fun! I can't wait til after Thanksgiving to put this quilt together.

Right now I am getting everything in order for Market, a couple more pillows to make and work on my presentation schoolhouse presentation of my book!   Can I just say it's really hard to focus when you get squishy packages in the mail that contain stuff like this new line TYPE by Julia Rothman for Windham?  I just want to play!!!!

sigh.
Why is fabric so addicting?

  2. Those Santa blocks are oh so cute (love the whistling Santa!!!). That new fab (Type) is so cool! Can think of several friends that it would be so appropriate!!! That is a "must buy"!!! Have no real clue why this addiction is so severe for most of us....what I do know is when it hits, it hits HARD and is long lasting!!! The best to you at market....Blessings, D

  3. Those typewriters are THE ONLY fabric I'm coveting these days and WANT. Lucky you. I have a fondness for old typewriters. Just bought a necklace with an old typewriter for the pendant.

  4. I have been buying a lot of music themed fabric lately to build my stash back up. I never know when my brother is going to need another music quilt for someone he is touring with. I bought 32 yards at Charm, 18 yards from Hancock's, and 10 yards from fabric.com. Is this enough? Probably not, but it was on sale so I had to buy it! LOL! The typewriter fabric is great! Do kids these day even know what a typewriter is? I think I may be dating myself!

  8. As an ex-secreatary/PA I just have to make myself a quilt using Julia's new Type line. I've never wanted a fabric all for myself before, I'm usually too busy thinking of others, thanks for sharing :)
