Do you ever intend to do one thing and end up doing the
exact opposite of what you said you were going to do? That’d be me yesterday.
I specifically told myself when I went shopping for fabric
yesterday for my birthday present from my husband, “No Kate Spain and no Sandy
Gervais.” Well, the quilt shop I went to, Fiddlesticks (www.fiddlesticksquiltshop.com),
didn’t have any Sandy Gervais, but I did end up buying a bundle of Kate Spain’s
new line, Good Fortune. Shoot. I tried. Honestly, I tried to look at some of
the more muted and subtle tones of French General or 3 Sisters, but I was
immediately drawn to Kate’s modern take on Asian influenced design. Maybe to
torture myself I’ll wait until after I work on the Flying Geese Quilt using Central
Park before digging into this pile of luscious cotton.
Another surprise came from our good friends Rob and Sarah:
Lorax fabric! I share my birthday with Dr. Seuss and love all things Seussical
and can’t wait to make something with them. I don’t know if it will be a quilt
because I’m thinking they would make absolutely adorable market bags, which
would totally fit the theme of The Lorax. We’ll see!
