I am in love with fabric again!! It was like taking my chocoholic granddaughter to a See Candy Store. I went last week to the local shops but now I have begun to build my stash again. Yes, I spent money on fabric ..... oooo !!!
Fabric shopping on line was even better. I ordered these fabrics from soggybottomflats.etsy.com.
I know my pictures are lousy, but I will get better at this. I wasn't real confident about Etsy procedures and Paypal and all that. But Elaine was very patient and walked me thru each step. All while her DH was in the hospital (I told her I could wait). The fabric arrived today !!!! Wish she was here to see how excited I am and so I could give her a huge hug of thanks!!
I earned extra spending credit with my DH this week (see previous post) so off I went to buy fabric today!! For me, it felt like Christmas morning!! This is a sampling of what I came home with. I decided I could get more variety buying fat quarters .... blues, aquas, greens, browns, purples with splashes of red here and there (altho red doesn't show up very well)
I know I must seem very silly and maybe a bit childish about these pieces of fabric. But I know I am sharing my feelings & thoughts with fellow quilters, sewers and stitchers who embrace the joy that this brings. I do feel a bit silly and giddy to be heading on this journey again. It has been so long. I got rid of most of my fabrics because I thought I would probably never quilt again. I am still looking in nooks and closets around our house and in our storage shed, but am not coming up with much. This is good .... a brand new start !!!
And maybe in the next week I will be able to post a block or two or three that I have actually done. A long drink of fresh water after being in the dry dry desert for these past few years.
Also, a big applause for Elaine at Soggy Bottom Flats & store for her assistance. If you don't know her, then stop by and say hello. And a big warm thank you to my cousin, Cathy at Cathy Scrap Creations on Blogspot for encouraging me all along the way.
