| simpatico in colorway minty by cloud 9 fabrics |
fabric goodness going on around here today. i haven't been able to sew in a few weeks now due to my back and boy has it been torturous! all these new fabric goodies have been showing up and all i have been able to do is drool, pet and profess my love for them. soon my lovelies, soon i will sew you. it's going to be hard to cut in to all the goodness but i. cannot. wait. see that pic above? in case you haven't seen it already that is
simpatico by cloud 9 fabrics. obsessed. i'm totally obsessed. i want to cover myself and the whole house in this line. i can't get enough of it. i love it in all the colorways but i ordered minty this time round. now that's it here i'm kicking myself for not ordering way more.
the yards that did make it to my house are going to be a special pressie. my youngest sister camille is pregnant with her first baby...eeeee! i'm so excited! she doesnt' know what she's having so boy has it been hard for this crafter. i'm dying to make boy or girl goodies and have to control myself. i've decided to hold off on a lot of little things i would make and do them after the wee one is born so i can just go crazy with the prints. but in the meantime the big pressie is in the works. the center print and the right print from simpatico are going to be a duvet cover for the babies crib (lucky baby hey!) and the left print "
pearl bracelet" by lizzy house is going to be her booby pillow. nice! i cannot wait to get whipping these up! so excited to give them to her! the colors are going to match her nursery perfectly that has lots of coastal shades of greys, neutrals and some turquoise.
and see this stack...mmmmmm....yummy! this is mostly all from the lovely ellen luckett baker's (
the long thread) new line "
quilt blocks". i chose mostly the prints from the shade colorway as well as all the grey prints and 1 mustard print. i also have some matching grey and mustard bella solids from moda in there as well. i purchased all of these lovely prints from our awesome sponsor
fat quarter shop. what will they be you ask? it's my next quilt!!! yay!!! i've been waiting and waiting to get my hands on this line since it came out but i had to save up my pennies to get all the prints in yardage to cut the design i had in mind. can't show you what it is yet because i first have to finish up my vintage sheet quilt. so for now i just stare lovingly at these. my fave print is the top one.
i'm also super excited to get my hands on the lovely pat bravo's new line "
indie" from
art gallery fabrics. i've been dreaming about my next fat quarter gang project already. those sunlight bazaar colorways are haunting me.....so purdy! i cannot wait!!! come to mama!
this stack of goodies are all commuter cowls waiting to be finished up. i'm going to be selling some handmade goodies at a local event in august here in victoria so if you'd love a handmade luvinthemommyhood item or pattern i'll be selling at "
fibrations" - come by and say hi! i'd love to see ya!
