Fabric

As I've been folding and organizing all my stash, I've come to the realization there are some holes. I'm terribly low on yellows and oranges, but I have virtually no neutrals other than black and white prints. So when The Intrepid Thread advertised that they had moved stuff into the clearance section and had 1000+ items in the list, I decided to focus my efforts by filling one of those voids. I keep seeing beautiful quilts with grey fabrics, so I just thought I needed to have some. I'm so delighted with these and can't wait to use them. What's your favorite color(s) to pair with grey?

Bekko Home Dec - Swirl in Stone: Oops... didn't realize this one was a home decor fabric until it arrived. I'll be making a pillow for someone.

I love the Very Hungry Caterpillar. The Boy's room is decorated in that theme, and I made him a crib quilt before he was born using the vibrant Very Hungry Caterpillar fabrics. I've also made him an apron and chef's hat with the fabric. It is so fun to work with!

Now that he's been transitioned to a twin-sized bed for quite a while, it's time I start thinking about making him a bed quilt. Trouble is, The Girl is also in a twin bed now and I haven't even finished her baby quilt! So, while The Boy's bed quilt is not atop the to do list, I did decide on a pattern and purchase the additional fabric to supplement what I have left in my stash from previous projects. I'll be using Fat Quarter Shop's free new pattern, Fat Quarter Fizz, for this project.

I also did a small amount of impulse shopping for the stash, 1) Michelle Engel Bencsko, House and Garden, Straw Hat in Yellow and 2) Makower UK, Jolly Farm, Abstract in Blue:

This week I checked out the Fat Quarter Shop 24-Hour Flash Sale on the right day. I found some lovely layer cakes I just couldn't resist. No particular plans for them at the moment.

While I was there I took the opportunity to also pick up some of the Cotton and Steel Basics, a Charm Pack (which was actually four smaller charm packs put together as a set), and a few pieces of yardage. Yum!
