Hope everyone is having a great start to the week! It's been mostly errands and computer work over here, but I'm hoping to get to the sewing machine tomorrow!
I did sew a bit this weekend, I worked on my Bloom quilt (pattern by Aneela Hoey!)! I'm getting so excited seeing it come together. I picked out a nice solid gray for the background today!
Have you seen Amber's fabulous typewriter pouches featuring Melody Miller's Ruby Star Rising prints? They're so beyond cute and I finally had to snatch one up! This one matches my purse perfectly, what's a girl to do! Amber is having a sale in her shop through the 15th, go check it out!
So, I took this photo in the hope that it will properly embarrass me! The fabric has been flying in from all directions! What can I say? At least, I have been supporting my local shops and online shops equally, the stack on the left is online and the right is local, so that's a good thing, right?! :)
Fabrics found Online from: Pink Castle Fabrics, Fresh Squeezed Fabrics, The Intrepid Thread, Bloomerie Fabrics.
Local (to Madison, WI) from: The Sewcial Lounge, Stitcher's Crossing, Mill House Quilts.

ReplyDeleteI know there was more to your post, but I am stuck on the peanut butter cookies! My son is allergic to nuts, so we NEVER get to have them. I LOVE peanut butter cookies... sorry, I've completely lost my train of thought... ;D

I have been contemplating making a 'Bloom' quilt and think that between yours and Aneela's, I am convinced. Now what colours to use from the stash?

ReplyDeleteOh good grief, that bloom quilt is gonna be AMAZING! I love how it is coming together!
ReplyDeleteOh grey will be perfect as the background for your bloom! I would love to start one of these but I really think that one more project on the go would really tip me into a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation, so I'll just live vicariously through you! :)
