Fabric Friday


I haven't had much to blog about lately.  But I have been buying fabric more than usual.........so I have that to show!   :)     This is from Blank Textiles (a company I hadn't heard of).  It's the "Essence" line by designer Karen Combs.   I found it in Houston when I was there.   Lots of great color to add to my stash.

Gifting quilts

I'm down in Texas visiting my Dad and step Mom.  My most recent quilt project was a gift for my Dad.   He has Parkinson's and sits a lot these days........a comfy quilt was needed, don't ya think?   :)    I'm rarely able to get a pic of my quilts with their recipients....I'm so glad I was able to do so this time.  
I love you, Dad.

Fabric Friday

Last Monday was Yaya day and we girls went to Vashon Island to see their quilt shop.  They are famous for carrying a HUGE amount of Kaffe Fasset fabrics.  Take a look at the wall of Kaffe:
That's a wall 4 bolts high!   I think we counted about 600 bolts on this wall alone.

These are the ones I choose:

Tink selected some for a quilt for her sister who is getting married this summer:
                                      

Melissa didn't buy Kaffe but found some other lovelies for a quilt for her guest room:

Yvonne had fun watching us spend our money:
                       
                           Oh I also found two more fabrics to add to my junk food collection:
Fun day.   Will definitely have to go there again.
