Too good

I think this fabric range was designed just for me.  Yesterday I dropped in to Amitie and found myself face to face with a very pretty range of fabrics in a perfect French red and naturals.

Adelaide, I think you're going to need a red coat next winter.  The top fabric I think I will make into something smocked with red thread.  The others, well I'm not sure yet.

I spent at least 30 minutes looking over the fabrics.  It was too hard to decide which ones I liked best - they were all so lovely.  The only thing to do in such a situation is buy a fat quarter of all the other favourites - which I did.

I wasn't planning on it, but it seems now I'm making another quilt.  So tonight when the house is quiet I think I'll pull out all my quilting books and look for a pattern.

But for now, I'd better get back to work to pay for my fabric purchases.

It's funny, I was at Amitie last night & when I saw those fabrics I thought of you!

Gorgeous! I just love that color scheme, so soft and elegant in a charming, old-fashioned way. I can't wait to see your finished products! You and your lovely materials will be an inspiration to me as I'm working on children's pajama pants in a decidedly less elegant print of Thanksgiving turkeys, complete with Pilgrim hats. :)

Beautiful fabrics. I just saw the photos of you and Adelaide, in the little one magazine. Such sweet photos, and of course such a beautiful room. Simple and elegant, love it.
