Yesterday I headed to Spotlight to buy some parts to fix our curtains. While I was there I quickly dropped by the quilting section, which I'm not normally a huge fan of. Look what I found? I'm loving these basic spots...I'm seeing a lot binding from this. They also had it in reverse, i.e. white with red spots. So I picked up a metre of each just to keep in my stash.
A couple of weeks ago someone at Amitie was wearing this tunic which was so lovely and flattering on her. They had a sample in the window made with this amazing Kaffe Fasset fabric. They suggested I try it on for sizing. Unfortunately they had run out of the fabric, but I bought the pattern anyway. I then hunted and hunted online to find that exact fabric. Finally finding it at at www.fabric.com, at an amazing price no less. So I ordered 3 yards! Not bad considering I only saw the fabric for 10mins and didn't have a name for it, which turns out to be Kaffe Fassett Millefiore Red.
My little guy and I are making chocolate cupcakes while the prince sleeps. Just waiting for these to cool before I add the chocolate icing. Mmmm. Not exactly sewing or knitting, but crafty nonetheless.
I've finally finished my imperfect Sottopassagio socks. I still love them though. Especially the colour. I love them so much that I'll be making them again right away but this time 2aat. I'm hoping that will fix all the problems I was having keeping track of stitches and cables etc. They fit beautifully too :)
The Kona solids have arrived for the backings of these 4 quilts that I'll be making (2 of each). I just love the colours. The Azure is so lovely that I ordered extra just to keep in my stash. The others I ordered just enough for the quilts. I can't wait to get these finished and under my new Janome Horizon.
We have: Crocus, Cactus, Medium Gray and Azure
