I have a thing…

For cherry fabric.

It’s just so darned…cheery.

I love this pink version so much I bought large swathes of  it on two separate occasions.  And yes, it’s the same print as the border for my Cherry On Top quilt.

And I think a lot of us could use some cheery right now.  I have a theory.  Tell me what you think.  If I ignore the existence of the blanket of snow and the howling wind hard enough, do you suppose I could make it go away?

The rest of you that are in the same cold boat will have to let me know if it works for you.

I have cut and shipped something like a 80 bazillion yards of fabric over the last few days.

And I’m feeling every yard of it in muscles I didn’t know I had.

Not that I’m complaining, it’s wonderful to clean some bolts off and get ready to welcome some new stuff later this week.

And I am so not complaining about the weather:  it might be cold, but at least we didn’t get snowed in like the East Coast.  Sorry guys!

I think I’m going to try to get caught up on my daily photos, I’m a week behind in editing and posting.  I can’t believe it is MARCH already.

Looking for

This:

 Looking for

It’s by Robyn Pandolph, from a collection called Aubrey Rose.  It’s from approximately 2004, when she was designing for South Seas Imports.  It’s a tone-on-tone green and I need about 1/4 to 1/2 yard.

I have Googled, and tried Quiltshops.com, but all I can even find pictures of online are the focal florals, none of this tone-on-tone.  I’ll give Missingfabrics.com a whirl next, but I thought I’d give this a try — maybe you have a bit of this hiding in your stash that you’d be willing to trade with me?  (I’ll pay postage and trade you for comparable yardage of something from the shop or my stash…).

And of course, you probably want to know WHY I need this.  Well, instead of cleaning (or writing patterns, or writing/drawing my book), I fell prey to temptation again.

Only look!

Another finished quilt top!

 Looking for

Pattern is Peppermint Swirls by Fig Tree Quilts.  Pattern calls for some words (jingle all the way) appliqued on it, but I don’t like what she did, don’t think it “goes”.  Pattern picture shows it bound in red and I really don’t like that, but I only have about half of what I need in order to bind it in the green (it was a kit).

The blocks were together, I needed to add one more corner triangle, trim it, and add the white and green borders.

Having finished 2 quilt tops, I now I feel justified in starting something new!

Ha!

p.s.  i was going to write it as EDGirl.  But then I worried that it looked like I was calling myself Erectile Dysfunction Girl.

Getting rid of scraps

Did you see Vicki’s comment about donating my scraps to someone who might use them for something like QOVs or other charity projects?

I’m sad to say that my immediate first reaction was…(in a really whiny voice)

But, but, but….I might need those scraps some day.

You know, for when they stop making new fabric.

Sheesh.

I’m trying to work my way through that sewing room a little bit at a time, and the next time I’m up there this week, I’ll be eyeing the scraps and other piles of fabric a little differently.
