pretty and novel stash
This week I got a squishy fabric parcel from Fabricworm and I had stuffed that envelope full of sale goodies!
I'm trying to shop smart and after assessing what I already have in my stash I knew I needed some more good blender prints and I'm lacking fun prints for fussy cutting so I was on the hunt for those too.
First I couldn't resist this sweet fortune teller print, which is lawn and so beautiful to the touch. The Aneela Hoey print was one I had seen someone use and fell in love with it and Blueberry Park is always fabulous as it plays so nicely with other fabrics.
left to right: Fortune Teller in Light Pink, Sleeping Porch by Heather Ross; Jenny's Plaid in Smoke, Stay Gold by Aneela Hoey; Flowerbed in Glacier, Blueberry Park by Karen Lewis and Trellis in Coal, Blueberry Park by Karen Lewis.
And I picked out some random prints that just drew me in with their cuteness! Like this playful cat border print and prints with hot pink in them:
Finally how great are these funky sewing themed prints?! I think these will make cute pouches and pincushions. Actually I'm sure that both these fabrics will find there way into lots of my projects, I can't resist those charming illustrations!
Notions in pink and Machines in blue, Thimbles and Threads by Robert Kaufman
I may have done a little black friday shopping too so there will be more to come! Did anyone else succumb to the sales?
Speaking of... quickly pop over to my Etsy shop because there is a discount on my patterns through Cyber Monday, click here for the sale! (no code required, discount has already been applied). A great excuse to pick up patterns and use up some of that fabric ;)

rainbow log cabin quilt
I'm completely in love with this quilt.
From deciding to do something different (for me), to having fun piecing it and seeing the end result be so cool! I loved each block but even when I laid them out I didn't know if it worked. The grey eyelets from 'Flea Market Fancy' by Denyse Schmidt was the perfect choice for the rainbow blocks and, for me, the final touch that made me fall in love.
There's so many fun little fabric pieces in each colour block and my kids loved pointing them out!
The back is a Jay McCarroll print that I've used before, it's a nice vibrant blue with pink squares.
It is quilted in diagonal straight lines using Aurifil 50wt.
Gotta love the quilty goodness draped on the chair my Nan gave me (which I've re-cushioned and thought about recovering but I've grown to love the vintage shininess of it!).
Sold!

Thinking fugly!

Pretty much all I can think about is fugly fabric!! It seemed funny then that a friend kindly gave me a bag of unwanted fabric yesterday! She knew I made quilts and collected some scraps together for me. Some are not my taste at all but I'll find a way to use them, even if it's just practice blocks (and I need the practice!!). Others I think are lovely though:
I'm loving the bird at the top and the florals! Some of the scraps are really small so I'll be cutting them into 2.5" squares and sticking them in a jar for now. The rest you're liking to see cropping up at some point!
The Fugly Fabric Party is going well and people are still adding links! Please go and see the newest posts (also I will say that someone has some out of print Heather Ross to giveaway ;) Just a heads up!).
It is a yucky, grey, drizzly day here so if you have anything positive you want to share go ahead and leave me a happy comment :)
- I could still use cheering up after the upsetting story yesterday!!
