Monday is all about fabric – #36 – Blithe by Katarina Roccella
Hey lovelies, I just spent a weekend up in North and South Carolina. Oh! Can I please move out there? I need to be around mountains more often. I need trees, nature, and wildlife. I need to be breathing in fresh air more. I need views of mountains upon mountains. I actually live in a lovely town on a river. It's home. I was raised here. Still, I know moving to the mountains are in ...
Monday is all about fabric – #30 – Random Low Volumes from Stitchery Sewist Shop
I know, I know, you are thinking that I buy way too much low volume. And when I tell you that I am almost out of it, you are probably rolling your eyes. But then I'd remind you that I use it in almost every single quilt, so...... stop judging me! JK! Seriously, though my drawer is only half full and I've got quilts coming up that I need low volume for. Sigh. I can just picture you, picturing ...
Monday is all about Fabric – #29 – Feline Myself by Dear Stella House Designer
Oh, my, oh my, OH MY!!! I like when I stumble upon fabrics that I'm just not seeing on the internet/social media/email. And these fabrics were just that. Stumbled upon. It's like they said, "hey Melanie, you love low volumes and you really love cats, so we made these just for you." GIMME, GIMME, NOW! It's cats on fabric without being ridiculous. And I KNOW what ridiculous is, okay? ...
Monday is all about Fabric – #28 – September Liberty Society
It's that time of the month again. That time when I open my mailbox, squeal with delight, and the fabric petting begins. Ava and Neve's Liberty Society has arrived once more. This time looking seriously Fall inspired. It's September, and even way down here in the deep Deep South we are already seeing a change in the weather. Morning and nights have cooled with tiny nips in the air. I've ...
Monday is all about fabric – #27 – Random fabrics
Hello, sweet fabric lovers! I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day. Color walked through my door last week. You are probably thinking, "FINALLY!". I seemed to be in a low volume binge for weeks (truthfully, I used it all and am in need of more). But not this week. This week, we've got color and creamy texty fabrics. Let's have a closer look. So I bought these fabrics for two ...
Monday is all about Fabric – #26 – Fabrics I want
It's a sad, sad week around here when no pretty fabrics arrive like last week (insert a big sigh here). That's okay though, because.....because.... I'm really having a hard time trying to come up with a reason here. I tried, sorry, can't do it. I need new fabrics! So I thought I'd take this opportunity and tell you about some lovely fabrics that I've noticed recently. A wish list, ...
Monday is all about Fabric – #25 – More low volumes
You might be thinking, "again!". And yes, yes I know that I just posted some low volumes last week, but the thing is I post about what I get in each week, I really NEED low volume fabrics and okay, maybe I am a little partial to them (obsessed with them). Don't judge me! They are my background fabrics for most of my quilts. I gotta have them. (if you want me to post about different fabrics, ...
