September is My Favorite Fabric Month!


September is my favorite month for fabric! 

There are a lot of reasons for this:

I love fall.

I love fall colors.

I love fall fabrics.

It is my birthday month and my family and friends
always gift me with fabric,
gift cards for fabric,
cash to go pick out some fabric I like, etc.

You see the trend here?

Sew I picked out this very fine fabric 
for one of those nifty quilty giftys ... :-) 

When I saw the 


I knew I wanted this one!

I always enjoy Bernie's Blog and love the fabric she selects for her shop 




I had $50 to spend so I bought the half-yard bundle and picked out 
3 extra "Half Yard Cut - Any Fabric Listed" 
to add to this beautiful collection

I am seeing a fall neighborhood quilt in the  future
for these fine fabrics.

It is always a pleasure to do business with  Needle & Foot
she ships quickly and also quickly refunds any over charge on shipping costs. 

The little bag of jelly beans that were an added gift in my package
just sweetened the deal ... ;) 
Thank you, Bernie

What is your favorite Fabric Month?

Fiction and Fun and the Summer of '61


Back in March I joined a reading group


organized by


Above is the book and the wonderful fabric goodies that I received from

Melody in NY. 

as you may know from my previous post,
so these fabrics were a great addition to my stash,
especially the book print on the top as I did not have any of this pretty. 

I was in Washington visiting my daughter when 
the book was received by my guys here in Massachusetts
so I got a late start on reading the book.

It was a fun and easy read.

When it was time to pass on the book to the next person in the book group,
I found that the book was only going as far as Connecticut to


so Nancy and I decided to add to the fun ...


... by meeting up at the 


where Nancy was a vendor.



While I was there I could not resist this cute pattern from Nancy's shop.
Nancy made the fabric bag to give to customers at her booth.
How cute is that!

Here is a close up of ...


... the fabric goodies I gave to Nancy,

I also added some cute buttons.

The gifts are chosen to relate to the story.

You will have to read the book to see why.

The only hint I will give is that 
the main characters in book are 9 years old in 1961.,
which is the summer I turned 9 myself.

Parts of this book really brought me back to those days.

It was a very enjoyable summer read.

Thanks, Bernie, for including me in this Fiction and Fabric Fun!

I Love Fabric~ Sunday Stashing



The newest of the new!

Sunset Harbor from the Charleston Collection by Ami Sinibaldi @ Nana Company

I have been letting my fingers do the shopping on my computer recently.

I rarely purchase just released fabric but I could not resist these beauties

when I found them while I was shopping the sale
@
The Intrepid Thread



These colorful lovelies are from two of my favorite designers,

Carolyn Friedlander 

and

Kate Spain

There is nothing for a fabric lover that compares to
receiving a box from


The Intrepid Thread Shop

The fabric comes all tucked in white tissue and tied with a fabric bow
and always includes a small square or two of gift fabric.



Katniss loves this experience, too, and plays with the ribbon and chases the 
balled up tissue paper around the room.

Another recent acquisition was this ...


beautiful bundle of Alison Glass!

I shopped in Bernie's wonderful new


This was another fun package to open and I will definitely 
be shopping here again. 


This cute Quilting Queen decal is a new addition, too!

I purchased it from my creative, crafty daughter in her
start-up etsy shop,


Now it will be easy to locate my computer in the airport bins!

Maybe I should ask her for a custom "Fabric Love" design ... :-) 

For more of my fabric love ... old and new ...
