more acquisition

Well, I can’t say I’ve made anything recently…
but I have acquired some more fabric!

fresh flowers fat quarter and moda’s noteworthy charm pack

I have no leg to stand on.  I don’t need this fabric.  I can’t afford this fabric.  There is no room in my stash for this fabric.

And yet, here it is, in my house.  And I love it!

It is almost all fat quarters though…. just the jester in tangerine and turquoise, and the flora in tangerine are yards.  And then there’s the noteworthy that’s a charm pack.  The rest are all fat quarters.  And all of the fabric except the ginghams were on sale…

Excuses, excuses.  I’m preaching to the choir here, aren’t I?  Can I hear a “Hallelujah”?  How about an “Amen”?

I have long been in love with Patty Young’s Jester fabric from the Andalucia collection for Michael Miller.  I bought yardage of the red, the green and the pink several years back. I even wrote four posts about it: one, two, three and four.

So imagine my surprise when I found out that she released new colours last year – colours that are now harder to find anywhere because they are out of print.

I managed to find a yard of the brown on sale and broke my “no new fabrics to the stash” rule for it.  So far no luck on the turquoise, aqua or orange.  The couple of places who do have them advertised want a fortune to ship to Canada.  Especially now US postal rates have risen.  So those three go on my “covet” list.

While I was perusing Patty Young’s website, I came across this fabulous tutorial on patchwork pillow cover she posted last January.  The white panes really make the colours pop.  I think I have to make something like this!
