Opening a new box from a fabric company is little Christmas, you know what you asked for, but until you see it in person it's always a bit of a mystery. Funky Monkey and Brannock & Patek's Woven Basics arrived this week.
Yesterday was a hard day, enough said. But I love the fact that I got so many calls and notes about Brit. Mike and I love you all.
So this morning I decided to start it out with something that always makes me smile, fabric that I haven't had before. Now, I have had Sock Monkeys and the Socks in my Quilt show Booth and on the website for years, but I never carried the Sock monkey fabric. It seemed to bright for my booth, and it didn't seem right to give the silly monkeys a expresso-stain dunk in the sink. But I get asked all the TIME do you have sock monkey fabric??????
Well, I relented and ordered all the brown, red, and cream based Monkey fabric. Of course, it doesn't hurt it comes from my FAVORITE manufacturer MODA!!! Can I get an AMEN??
I'm working on several new patterns that I hope will all be ready for Houston or sooner. One pattern I'm calling Link-A-Dink is a new guys quilt that I'm hoping that the wovens will work with. I'm really looking forward to working with brushed cottons again, it's been a while. So forgiving, who cares if the checks and plaids don't line up perfectly? I don't, part of it's charm.
I'm in Quartzite, Az at a quilt show this Friday and Saturday. I have never been there before and I'm not to sure what to expect. Hopefully, quilters in the desert like brown, butterscotch looking fabric. I will let you know. Hopefully, the hotel will have internet. I'll post pictures of the show.
