How am I supposed to sew when I work all day, most evenings and pretty much every weekend?
Doesn't my employer know there's sewing to do????
Ah well, I guess that whole roof-over-head, food-on-table stuff has to come first.
I continue to putter away as time permits on Small Plates. I got the quilting done last weekend and have tried to grab an hour here and there for the binding:
You know how sometimes you get kind of tired of looking at a project and just want to finish it and move on? Not this one. I think I'm more in love with these fabrics now than when I first cut into them.
Funny how the lack of time to sew hasn't translated into a lack of time to buy fabric. There's probably some complex space-time continuum theory around that but my brain is far too tiny to figure it out. I picked up my first bundle of Malka Dubrawsky fabric called Simple Marks:
Holy macaroni, this is beautiful in real life! That dark blue is a deep, rich cobalt colour. The simple motifs are modern and gorgeous. Most importantly, it has my all time favourite blue/green/grey colourway. All together, it feels like a Fall collection but if you split it into chunks, I see Christmas (red/green/gold) and Summer (cobalt/turquoise/red), too.
Have a good day :-)

Where do you get your fabrics from? I haven't seen anything that gorgeous around town!
