I've been working on this sweet little project for someone special...!!!
I've been trying to ignore this pile of Kaffee goodness that has been a constant distraction. I think every good little quilter should start out the new year with something new for her stash....regardless of how big...deep...or wide her stash already is!!! Thank you soooo much 'MRS.' Santa.....and yes...Thanks Terri for such a good sale!!!
I need a couple of gifts......like "I can't begin to thank you enough" type gifts....the kind of thank you that requires a whole quilt! I have in mind a softer scrappy vintage look and feel. This is another one of Bonnie's from Quiltville inspirations. It is the 4 Patch and Furrows design....Mine may turn out a little different than the one she shows...but that's ok!! Hhhhmm...I only need about three of these!
Darn...I have been seeing another distraction out of the corner of my eye. Oh...Oh...my heart beats a little faster everytime I glance over at them! Thanks for your 20th anniversary sale Jackie!!!
See...I have more than plenty to keep me busy.....now if only I could speed my little self up a little...I think I 'piddle' around too much!!! I just want to be like Wanda when I grow up!!
Oh you funny girl!! You really were bad, LOL, but that's GOOD because now you have a great stash. Wow I love the way they look all piled up waiting to be touched.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the new fun stash. and if I were you, I couldn't resist that Kaffe goodness either.
ReplyDeleteOh my - such fine fabrics!!! No wonder you are tempted. I love that four patch quilt - love love love it! Does it want to come over here and play?
ReplyDeleteHi B!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem! My NEW Christmas fabric keeps calling my name also! It doesn't helpp that it is sitting right next to me and even if I close my eyes I know that it is still there. Ohhh...I am trying to resist!
The recipient of your quilt is going to LOVE it! how big is it going to be?
Stay warm in Texas.
Those fabrics are so beautiful, I would never want to cut them - just sit and look and them...
ReplyDeleteI too love you Kaffett fabrics. I have quite a few but I have been using them in my flower garden quilt so I may just have to pick up a few more for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOoo wonderful Kaffeness! Go on be distracted you know you want to. I certainly am. I love the Planet and Paperweight ones!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome!! I love them all piled up there. You and I would get along so great, just sewing, sewing, sewing til our hearts are content. I just cannot wait to see what it is you are working on. Whatever it is it has to be great, it has Kaffe in it!
ReplyDeleteI love the four patch quilt it is very pretty, and your fabric is ready for to make a new QUILT!
ReplyDeleteI love the sneek peek and the 4patch and furrows! great job? That nice pile of fabric would be taunting me too...you'd better move it into hiding for now.

ReplyDeleteLeve them out so you can stroke them occasionally. I love what you had to say about enhancing the stash and giving it a boost. Your quilt is looking fantastic, I love it a lot.
ReplyDelete"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day..." Wow you've definitely got some happy colors to play with.
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics are wonderful - so bright and spring they just warm up the room. Good choice on the quilt to give to a special friend, the pattern looks so traditional and would be loved by anyone.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be distracted too, if I had such a wonderful rainbow sitting on my sewing table. Love your quilt, but 3 of them, oh my gosh, and such a sweet sneek peak.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteYour bright stacks look delicious!

ReplyDeleteGood post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you as your information.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed looking at your blog very much! I'm not a quilter more a practical repair sewer and occassional clothing or home decor maker.
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me here is that Kaffe inspires so many crafts people across so many crafts - I just started mosaicking and he's the guy I love!
Paper, fabric, dishes, glass they are all related don't you think? Love of pattern and shapes...
Sorry to be so long, you have a very busy blog, with good reason.
Kathy
Those fabrics are so beautiful!

Beertje Zonn

ReplyDeleteHi Belinda,
ReplyDeleteI've been gone so long and just the first post I read on your blog makes me want to buy some fabric. Love the bright colors and my heart always leans toward scrapy. That's what I have missed about visiting everyone, makes you want to create. Gotta read more on what you been up to.
Keep Stitchen'
Bonnie
Where are you???? Are you snowed in and can't move??
