yesterday the mailman brought this. it's the sears roebuck of fabric and there is serious drool all over the pages already. if i only bought my very favorites from this catalog, it would add probably another 6-8 yards of fabric in half-yard or FQ pieces. there are soooo many beautiful ones from which to choose. sometimes i only see 1-2 but this issue is overflowing with luscious, gorgeous fabric. alas, i do not need it whatsoever nor can i squeeze that much $$ out of the budget either. and wouldn't you know, now that my hawaiian is in the basting stage, i saw another, more beautiful, batik that would have been ideal. "make another," says my mother.....she is kidding of course. the first one isn't even close to being finished yet. i do draw the line (with ruler of course) someplace. ***** as you can see, i've added my photo to the blog. i took it myself with the camera, taking care to avoid the double chin naturally, hoping to retain the illusion if possible!Friday, September 9, 2011

Grace--I didn't know there was a Hancock's catalog, but I am so out of the quilting loop. It probably wouldn't be safe for me to see it anyway!
ReplyDeleteFun to see your photo and put a face with your name. I'm not that brave yet.
Maybe someday--I did show the side of my face in one of my posts. I though I was getting pretty daring then. : )
