Since the modern quilting movement is so huge now, there are always new lines and new fabrics coming out, but that also means turnover is fast. Lines come and go so fast that fabrics disappear off shelves. Once they’re gone, you can’t always find them again.
This fabric is so fun. Everything about it is colorful and cheerful and definitely Brady Bunch inspired. The green gingham in here makes me think of Alice.
I found a new little gadget that was entirely worth the cost. It’s called a bias tape maker. They’ve been around for a while, but I’m usually not a gadget type person. I’ve made my quilt bindings and bias tape with a ruler and an iron for ten years. It takes time, but everything with quilting takes time. I didn’t mind the process.
It is a fun line, friends. If you like the vintage linens or retro flower power patterns, you’ll enjoy this line. It’s bright and cheerful and full of floral prints. It’s mixed well, though, with a few stripes and ginghams.
While we listened to the others, I quietly whispered to my husband that I just want to grow up to be Tasha Tudor.
I’ve watched her shop since before she sold fabric, but I’d never purchased anything from Morgan Kelly Quilts until last month.
I’m stepping out on a limb and trying a new product. It’s a completely different price point, and it’s a completely different level of time commitment.
So what’s the moral of this post? I guess we all need to impulse buy fabric. Because if we don’t, someone else does and we can’t buy it anymore.
You know how curtains are supposed to almost hit the floor after being hung? Mine are approximately two feet too short. And they’ve been that way ever since moving to our new home.
Something small. Something quick and whimsy. Something just to make them smile. I’ve seen fabric postage stamps for years, but I had no reason to take the time to make them until now. They’re fun and quick and simple.
