However, this purchase was not my fault. My two older sisters, who have been bossing me around since I was a kid, bossed me into buying it.
It's a gorgeous organic fabric called Robotic by Rebekah Ginda for Birch Fabrics. And soft? I'll have to keep my sewing room door closed so no one sees me rolling around on it. The baby's parents were both science majors so I think it's perfect.
I bought it last week at a quilt show in Manchester, NH from the lovely ladies at Sew Fresh Fabrics.
They also had a few sale items in their booth. I bought this great bundle of Simply Color.
I wasn't going to buy it, but my daughter pointed out that I had some birthday money that my mother had given me and she insisted that I should treat myself. So, technically, this purchase was also not my fault. I didn't want to disappoint my daughter.
I did, however, finish a project this weekend.
My daughter also had a birthday. She does a lot of stitchy work so I made her this neat case. I used some charms and yardage of Noteworthy along with a bit of Lucy's Crab Shack.
There's a pocket on one side to hold the hold the hooped fabric.
And there's a vinyl zippered pocket on the other to hold the threads and scissors and stuff.
The pattern is called Tag Along by This & That. I wasn't thrilled with the directions and had to redo a few things, but it finished nicely.
So, no more fabric buying for me (except for the white Kona I need) until the next quilt show in early November.
Joyful stitching,
