ReplyDeleteHej Stina,
ReplyDeleteThose Judie Rothermel's Charleston V fabrics are gorgeous... I have also purchased few of them...
The pink and brown reproduction fabric color combo has been a favorite of mine for a long time. You got a nice selection. Do you have a project in mind?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful shopping you have done. Is that Auriful wool thread? I've heard that is just dreamy to work with. By the time I was ready to try some, my shop stopped carrying it. I should order some from Karen.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get the pinks and browns and I want (need) some shirtings as well. Are you planning something or are you stash building?
ReplyDeleteoh love those fabrics don't you , love pink and brown!
ReplyDeletehow do you like those threads, make sure you let us all know..
Kathie
Great shopping you've done! I've never seen that thread before...what kind is it?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, what loveley fabrics! You know perhaps that I love repros, and have a nice collection already, I can hardly use them, they are so wonderful. Thank you for the link to this fantastic shop! I defenitely will give it at least one try....!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great shopping day!! The fabrics are beautiful, the book looks fun and it's my favorite thread....Yes, it is a great shopping day!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love shopping and getting great new things? I love the fabrics and that the book you purchased looks fantastic! Hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm so glad you received the fabrics! Thank you for the link!Tara
ReplyDeleteSpring....that must be music to your ears Stina....love the new fabric....pink and browns how good do they go together...
ReplyDeleteLove those colours Stina...What a good shopping day you have had...looks like a great book too. Have lots of fun choosing your projects!!!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are wonderful! I am also saving repro pinks and browns. I am sure I could probably make a quilt out of the ones I already have collected, but I want a lot of variety :o) Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the sore hand hasn't stopped you shopping LOL. Those fabrics look great together. I will be interested to hear how those threads go.
ReplyDeleteHey Stina! So pleased spring is starting to creep closer for you - it will take you a little while to thaw out after such a cold, snowy winter! And what better way to cheer up in time for spring than to SHOP!! Tee! Hee! Hee! Your book looks like it would be great just to look at, not to mention the hours of stitching fun you'll have. Can't wait to see what you create - carefully to protect your poor recovering finger! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you bought! And the book looks so interesting, I have one from the same author and I like her ideas too. Lovely little parcel, hope you can show us your stichting! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Your "strangest day" story was very interesting. Once, about 20 years ago, my husband and I were driving home on the highway, when I got a bad feeling that something was going to go wrong. I told him about it and asked him to be extra careful. He was like, OK... Within a quarter of a mile our timing belt broke and the car died at the side of the road. Now he thinks I'm psychic. It *does* happen to people occasionally. 8)
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching,
Susan
