Just Sew It

With the boom in our province there has been an influx of people that our city has become so bloody busy. I have always disliked the city and now I hate it even more. I’d love to move to a small town close to the city but my dh does not like that idea. With all these people you’d think that there would be more fabric available but there isn’t. Fabricland’s choices are horrid and Marshalls is not much better. There is only one shop in the city that is owned by a German lady and she has beautiful, quality fabrics but is expensive. I think I am going to shop at her store and online. Emma One Sock has such a beautiful collection that I think I will try her. I have patterns that I would love to make but I cannot find fabric that I like. I am very picky when shopping for fabric as I have to be passionate about the fabric or else it is a waste of my time sewing it. As for quilting, there are only a few quilting stores in my city and they have beautiful fabrics. I seem to have better luck with quilting fabrics. Yesterday I purchased a number of fat quarters for a quilt I’m going to make for a good friend. It’s her birthday in April and she’s been such a good friend I really want to make her one. I need to pick up a couple more all-brown fat quarters but Earthly Goods ran out. The pattern I am using for her quilt will be the “Turning Twenty…. again”. I love that pattern. Very easy and very quick to sew together. I am more attracted for contemporary patterns and fabrics.

The rest I’m not sure who they are made by. I’m too lazy to look at the selvage:
