I fell in love with Michael Miller's mirror ball dots at Quiltcon but didn't buy any. Then Jennifer posted this bundle for a bit of a deal on IG and I took the plunge cause she's a pal and I like supporting quilty friends. You can find this same bundle in her etsy shop.
She even offered up small scraps for free, so long as I paid the shipping. Score! These are all japanese import and/or kawaii fabrics, I'm not sure what that means but I know they're awesome. She sent my mushroom, hedgehog, and sheep fat quarters in a medium flat rate box, packed tightly the rest of the way with these awesome scraps. I love itty bitty patchwork so these will be perfect for that.
I also hit the $6 voile bandwagon pretty hard over the last several weeks, ordering a few different times from Sew Mama Sew before she suddenly decided to close up shop. What a bummer! I plan on doing some kind of fast, strip pieced quilt from the voile, with that top AMH "clippings" print for the backing. I figure the "pastry" stripes will make decent binding. I also bought enough of the bottom two prints to make myself a couple summer dresses.
Well, that's all for now!
Edit to add: sometimes I write fast and forget to spell check... in the original version of this post (and post title, ack!) I misspelled the word "acquisition" in a really obvious, goofy way. Whoops! Talk about embarrassing. I'm sure my English teacher sister was horrified :P

Love your new additions to your stash. I have been eyeing the mirror ball dots for a while, I might just need to pick them up sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteOk. Now I have to deal with fabric envy. That's not a good thing. I must visit Etsy in order to feel better!
ReplyDeleteThose little deer in the scrap photo are so cute!!
ReplyDeletePretty.....
ReplyDeleteLove them all!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say, I am insanely jealous! Great stash additions and some new people for me to follow on IG :)
ReplyDelete*drool*
ReplyDeleteOooooh lovelies xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the Michael Miller dots!!!
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up with your opening lines, because I feel the same way. Oh? They want me to buy fabric? Okey dokey! I finally wised up and put all my fabric store emails into their own folder so I don't have to see them in my inbox, only when I want to.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just Spring, but I've had a few indulgent moments lately, too. We need to get on a mirror ball dots project. Yeah, right after your Liberty project. I've got to go and check the stash to see if I have some Liberty, because the credit card has melted and I can't buy any more!

Cool fabric additions! I love mirror ball dots. I haven't bought any of the fabric, but I realised the other day my lunch box lid has mirror ball dots on it, hot pink too! Hehe about the typing. I'm an English teacher and I make typos all the time on my iPad. Reads like complete gibberish often!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Instagram was dealing in fabric addiction! You have chosen well.
