Well, no, I haven't been doing a lot of sewing.
Duh, right?
No photos = no fun.
Well, I've had a little fun. :) I'm just about done with my fourth redwork block (pitiful, I know) and of course I'm thinking ahead to what I'd like to work on next. I got a little carried away on what was supposed to be just a very little shopping trip to pick up a few things...instead I didn't get a thing on my list but ended up purchasing 8 yards of this...
It's soooooooo Thimbleberries-ish isn't it??? I love it. I tend to buy 1/2 yards or 1 yard at a time, but I know that this will be a border and a backing. It's some of that premium quilters cotton from JoAnn Fabrics, (Stone Hill Collection/Prarie Home/Floral). Now I'm on the hunt for a quilt to make with it. I'm hoping I can use some things that I already have and not go buy more - but I suppose it wouldn't be all that terrible if I had to go shopping again! :)

Hello Valerie,
Thank you for visiting and entering the giveaway!
Love your new fabrics -- and no, it's not THAT bad to have to go shopping for fabrics again! ;)
It's me again - I forgot to mention that I enjoyed reading about your holiday traditions very much! :)
LOVE the fabric.
I've emailed you about bears as well....which would be a great excuse to go shopping again...
You're right, Valerie - it DOES look Thimbleberries-ish! Almost like one of the Cottagewood prints from a little while back. It was featured in the pattern Garden Glory, which you can see here:

I really like this pattern, and plan to do it in Cranberry Harvest fabrics eventually ;) Can't wait to see what YOU do with that fabric!
Your fabric purchases look very nice to me. Can't wait to see what the garden greenhouses do for your seeds.
That is truely beautiful fabric. I can see why you bought so much. Can't wait to see what you create.
