I got up very early today and headed up to
Amy's. My first stop was Starbucks. I love their
Cinnamon Dolce Lattes. And I don't get the skinny ones. What's the fun in that??? After I got to Amy's we met up with
Karen in Sumter. We went to a couple quilt shops and I found some fabric I've been coveting for quite awhile now. It's
Moda Glace by 3 Sisters. I have commissioned Amy to make a tote bag for me (click
here to see one that she made). I know, I could probably do it if I put my mind to it, but she has already made three, she knows the pattern by heart practically now. I just know it's going to be gorgeous. Although, I have told her no hurry, and I mean it! Here is a pic of my fabric that I took using Amy's camera
I also couldn't resist getting the new Blackbird Designs Loose Feather from
Amy's shop. It's so pretty. I just love the colors. I debated on getting the fabric, but now I'm really glad I did! She just got this in, so it's not on her website yet, but I'm sure she'll have it up there first thing Monday morning (no pressure Amy)! :)
I also got the new
LHN design Rose Hill Plantation and earlier in the week before I knew I was going up there I got the
last two BBD stockings. So I think I have plenty to keep me busy... at least until Market at the end of the month! :) Well, I'd better get to bed. Write soon!
Edited to add a picture of the pincushion from the back of the leaflet...
What a pretty floss toss, Nicole!! You've been getting some tasty goodies lately--can't wait to see what you start next after C@HRH!

ReplyDeleteI have been loving that Glace fabric since it came out in May! I'm working on a couple things in it, and I still love it all :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that fabric!! There are way too many pretty fabric lines out there. I think you're smart to ask Amy to make the bag for you -- sounds good to me! Good stash too! I love that new Loose Feathers!
ReplyDeleteNicole, those fabrics are just gorgeous! I'm going to have to look for them! They will make such a wonderful bag. I just saw the BBD piece at my LNS but didn't buy it - shame on me. I bet you just had the best day!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...Amy's in for it now ;o)
ReplyDeleteBetween the bags and the BBD! LOL!
The material is wonderful and I know that the bag will be a real stunner!

ReplyDeleteThe colors are absolutely gorgeous! I love the fabrics as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, Nicole - I really miss living near a quilting store - I would love to get some of that fabric and have my mum make me a tote bag.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the enabling on the new LHN design!
Nicole,

That is going to be one gorgeous bag. You chose some lovely fabrics, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, you already got the Loose Feathers! Now I'm jealous.
I'm looking forward to getting the new LF chart, it looks lovely and I love the little pincushion charted with it. Great going on the HRH, you'll soon be finished!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for your bag is lovely - you can't beat MODA.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to receive my LF#39. Thanks for the pic of the cover.
Happy Stitching!
Love the fabric!! The tote bag will be beautiful. And I think those threads for the new Loose Feathers are so pretty on the fabric. What fun!

ReplyDeleteI think I need a new tote bag!
That's going to be one gorgeous tote!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time, Nicole! I love the new stash, and the tote is going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and your friends had a lot of fun. I LOVE that fabric... especially that paisley one on the top. Looking forward to seeing your tote bag. Isn't the new LF design pretty? This is one of my new favorites from that series, although I tend to love them all. I have ordered that one too and can't wait to get it and start it.
Hope you are having a great week!
Oh Nicole, that bag is going to be scrumptious. All that lovely red!
ReplyDeleteDoes she sell them?
I love the BBLF design, too.
Can't go wrong with Starbucks! I love the fabrics you chose for your tote.
ReplyDeleteBTW, CaHRH is gorgeous.
Such a lovely little oincushion. I love your creative finishing with the beautiful beads.
