Made these this week with free fabric from Dee. She won them, used some, then gave them to me. Thanks! I think that there was too much testosterone at her house! Now they have new life as library bags!! Yay!
The next bit of craziness is that I dreamt about fabric one night this week. Not so weird you say, well maybe not... But just one fabric, not what I would make with it, not in any context what so ever. Just a still photo dream of a fabric. Sorry, I think that is just a little out there!! Then, the next morning, I looked at some more Friday Finishes and see this bag on Amy's blog (She probably thinks that I am a nut after the comment I left!). The fabric!!!!
Well, that's not all folks. I visited one of my favorite local quilt shops the next day. There....in the remnant bin...Katie Jump Rope Blue Ribbons!!! What was I to do? The green Katie Jump Rope was in the clearance room!!!! Bliss. Then, I got to pick a free fat quarter. No way, Flea Market Fancy!!!! Yep, free. Don't hate me too much, it is the only Flea Market Fancy I own.
I already have plans for it of course!
Blessings,
KT

To continue our conversation about "weirdness" -- your local quilt shop owner must be weird, or crazy. Katie Jump Rope on clearance and FMF for free. People are charging an arm and a leg for FMF on Etsy! Enjoy, you lucky quilter!

The fabric selection was just meant to be! The bags are sweet!
ReplyDeleteKT, as my kids would say "Lucky!". Good for you. Such lovely fabric. I really like your library bags. So pretty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've got a glimpse of your siggy blocks on Flickr. Really love them. I'm hoping to work on mine this weekend. I got some Tina Givens on sale when purchasing on Etsy. I probably shouldn't admit this, but never heard the name before. The fabrics are really cool and when I saw they were on Rachel's list decided to use them.
ReplyDeleteThose little library bags are SO cute! I'm going to be making something similar for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are crazy for dreaming about fabric - I do it all the time! Although I have super weird dreams when I'm pregnant. Like last night I was swimming with baby polar bears - whatever?! Once I had a dream about Amy Butler play-doh! It was awesome.
Thanks for always sharing!!
That is such a great story. I have just recently become obsessed with DS Flea market fancy. I can't believe you found that green in the clearance room.
ReplyDeleteYou've been nominated for a Lemonade Stand Award on my blog!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Your bags are just adorable! The fabrics are gorgeous! And I totally love the dream story... lol I often dream about cutting fabric (ever since I started working in a fabric store) and if it's a BAD dream, I'm cutting it crooked. LoL
