The haul, ya'll

Karen and I hit Michael's (A Fabric Place) this morning, after a leizurely start and an early lunch. Michael always has the best wools. Period. Hands down. And no contest. So, without further ado (and I do like ado), I introduce you to the newest members of my stash (thanks, Kristine, for that phrase - I really like and and plan to keep it). The large plaid on the far left is 100% wool and the checks are really large, with a 4" repeat. I do love me a black and white, and a check. So there you have 2 in one. It will either become a "Channel" jacket or a pencil skirt with part of the fabric on the bias. Hmmm. Next row are the browns. The top and bottom are wools, for slacks most likely. The center is a crisp silk for a blouse or maybe just a shell. Far right are also wool (remember we were at Michael's), the top will become a skirt (and Karen bought some of this fabric, too. In fact she found it and gets all the credit). The lower right is also a wool, made for Lowe Donald of Sevile Row. Slacks for sure.
And there's an update for my newest quilt. It is all pieced (and partially quilted, but no picture of that). Seeeeeee:
Thanks for checking in, we're off to order some Chinese food and open another bottle of wine. It's all good.

  3. Good job, they are all so lovely! I've sworn off buying fabric this year, so I'm living vicariously through others! Thanks for keeping me smiling! And Karen? Watch out, she's gets grabby when she sees something she really wants! ;)
