Whilst creating this new little needle keep
I kept thinking about all the fabric that still needed
to be sorted so I could let another lot leave my
studio
and
decided to create 4 more fabric packs using these gorgeous
pastel Spring prints of roses, pansies, dots
and paisley.
These images give you an idea of the quality of these cottons -
I'm sure Robyn Pandolph by Moda
is one brand name that many of you may know!
I have had these fabrics in my stash now
for at least 12 years or more
and they are still as beautiful as ever, however,
there is a limit to just how much one can
use (I'm slowly discovering!!! lol!).
Just thinking how well co-ordinated these
fabrics really are
and how beautifully they would look in a crazy quilt
or any project that would lend itself
to this range of soft colors!
I'm not sure that I will ever get over my fabric hoarding passion
but at least I have the choice to let others use some of it too!
I remember well purchasing this one
and thinking how beautiful the background
was woven behind the pink roses in a duck egg blue shade.
It is in fact a Japanese fabric
and
this one also with
the pretty pansy arrangement
with the pansies and leaves being outlined in gold.
Any way I still have 3 packs left in my
Enjoy my friends!
Treasure the days, the hours and even more, the moments!
I'll be back soon!

I know how this addiction to fabric can take over too Suzy :)))) I have much more than I will ever use, but always find a pattern I can't resist. I find my taste stays much the same though, as florals and paisleys are always the theme. I have very few plaids or solids in my stash.
ReplyDeleteI really love your beautiful needlebook. It is a gorgeous work of art. Needlebooks are on my list to make for my MIL and daughters.
I can only imagine how gorgeous your roses must be again this time of year. Looking out over your lovely property must give you so much joy. It is a heaven on earth!
I hope you are well and enjoying this time when fall will soon be upon you. I'm sure it's as beautiful in the fall as well.
much love...
such wonderful details and beauty.
ReplyDeleteAs always simply gorgeous, dear Suzy.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday.
Hugs and love,
Marie
