Fabric Friday #6

No-Buy October, I'm glad you were a dismal, dismal failure. I spent 17 days yearning for pretty fabric, and now that I have broken (so hard), I appreciate my purchases so much more! This is good, because No-Buy November is juuuust around the corner.

(Don't look at me like that. I swear, no buying fabric! FOR REALZ.)

This week I picked up the last of the Christmas present fabric, some Kona solids, and a few stash-building basics...and some Japanese linen/cotton blends arrived in the post from Kelani!

I love the the riotous color!

I found some of the new Plume range at Hobbysew and promptly got half a meter for me and half a meter for a friend.

(I love the gilding.)

Kona Solids...how I love you! I can never go past a good-feeling solid and Kona feels the best. This week I picked up the last of a bolt of Kona Snow, which is my favorite white EVER. (It's on my Christmas list...Mr Poppleton has strict instructions!) I also picked up some Dusty Blue and Turquoise.

It looks like the sea and the sky, doesn't it?

Here are the last of my linen/cotton blends. I am already stoked to make Christmas presents for my friends and family!

Which one's your favorite? Mine is probably still the viewfinders, but that turquoise is making me exceedingly happy.

Here are some splashy colors for the week. I have been eyeing off the grey and pink, the dotty trees, and the bright vines for AGES and finally I broke down and got them. The yellow leapt out at me, too: a summer dress for Piper, perhaps? And the grey stripes just looked like a refreshing, cool addition to a pile of warm tones.

Mmm. Fabric.

While picking up more cross-hatch (it makes such a perfect blender while still looking fresh and contemporary), the very helpful woman at Craft Depot showed me the matching dot. OH MY GOODNESS.

Also, yes, I am addicted to blues.

Oh! A few last minute additions to my stash: a gorgeously bright directional/floral, some 1930s, and some more Sophie...ILU Sophie!

And, finally, the best thing I've seen all week...the look I get when Miss Piper wakes up from a nap. Check out that smile! Man I love this age. :)

Tomorrow is mine and Elle's Halloween Party so I'll be sure to post some pictures! Have a great weekend everyone!
