just plain lust...

that's right, lust.  i saw this fabric today and nearly drooled all over it.  i bought 1 yard but only because i was practicing self-restraint--and because i'm not really a red person.  but isn't it luscious?  it's a mary koval print from her baltimore album line.  yes i do have have plans for some of it, but the rest will just be around for whenever i need to bring it out and fondle and dream about using.  someday i'll probably wish i had gotten the rest of the bolt but today my budget definitely said no.  **** and where, you might ask, did i find this gorgeous fabric?  at cyndi black's Busy Thimble shop, of course,  packed to the rafters with bolts and bolts of every sort of reproduction fabric.  shelves are piled high and bolts are lined up on the floor so there's barely any space to walk.  with 3 other people there, like today, it was way overcrowded.  to see everything, one would definitely need at least a day or more.  i actually went in to see (and probably get) some of the new reds from Moda's Friendship line and they were there but not yet unwrapped.  then i saw the mary koval and couldn't leave it behind.  i also picked up another print from that line, but no more because i'm really not a red person at all.  well i wasn't before today anyway.
