Mail Call!

This week I received three of the most fabulous packages ever!  

Package #1 -- fabric!  Not just that, but rare Amy Butler prints!  Half yard cuts of these three:




And 90 charm squares!  


Two of each of these prints:








Be still, my heart!

Package #2 from Jackie at Canton Village Quilt Works (blog & shop):



I swear I heard a choir singing when I opened this up and saw all the lovely colors!

Package # 3 -- Nittany Block Party fabrics from Carla


Nicey Jane strings and squares for wonky log cabin blocks.  

Now, why did I volunteer to work all day on Saturday?  There is fabric to be played with!
I think I'll go try to match Kona solids to fabrics in my stash -- just for fun!

With wishes, true and kind -- Joan

  8. what a wonderful mail day! I would have singing and jumping up and down with joy. I made pillowcases from that first Amy Butler fabric, and a scrap piece of that third fabric - love love love that pink one. You will just love your color chart - it's handy and just fun to stare at. I still haven't ordered any Nicey Jane fabric, but now I'm inspired by the colors you got. Have fun!

  10. So much good stuff. I completely agree with wanting to play with it right away - that's when the fabric tells you what it wants to become - not so much when it's been sitting on the shelf for months. I just got a huge stack of kona cotton fat quarters from pink chalk fabrics and it's all washed and folded - now all i have to do is find time to sew! have a wonderful weekend!

  11. It was fabulous just scrolling down and looking at what you received in the mail. So big question: where oh WHERE did you get the AB fabrics?

    I occasionally hear music from my sewing room--it probably has something to do with the Kona cotton color card I have in there. :)

    Fabric therapy....nothing better.
