Do you feel judged? I feel judged.

Here is just a quick post to ask WTF IS THIS FABRIC.

Quilt Gate "Dear Little World"  

I already have the Nutrition Facts, Weight Watchers, and my big ol' butt o tell me all about calories and how I eat too many of them :3  

Sure, this would make a cute band on a dishtowel, but...get out of my face with that judgy "Danger" on my donuts, bish. 

Sunday Stash: eQuilter Order

It's been a rough goddamn week.  It started with the transmission dying in the Jeep on the freeway, continued with some pretty crazy coordination issues throughout the week that just about made me want to pull my hair out (and it's crazy short now...pixie cut for the win).  I swear to God, there isn't enough of me to go around sometimes...I need a clone.  If Elon Musk could put more energy into THAT instead of launching cars into space that would be friggin' ducky.  I'm not hatin' on Mr. Musk and his space stunts.  I watched the launch.  It was AMAZING.  But uh.  I'm gonna need that clone.  

But I needed a little retail therapy before I did indeed pull my hair out...which means I bought sweet, sweet fabric.  It isn't here yet, so pictures from the *~iNtErWeBz~* will have to do for now. 

So what sick picks did I end up with?  SO GLAD YOU ASKED.  

 Birds of Liberty - Oregon, by Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufman.  For you non-Oregonians, that's a Western Meadowlark.

 Elizakitten Era by Alexander Henry.  I am NOT a cat person, but I do love some medieval, renaissance, and Elizabethan era history.  So of course this is GREAT.  I only got half a yard.  I will probably regret that. 

 Encyclopedia Galactica by Studio 1500 for Andover Fabrics.  Just because a girl talked some smack about launching a car into space doesn't mean she can't buy some space shit. 

Haunted House - Heart of Darkness by DeLeon Design Group at Alexander Henry.  Obviously this is glorious and I probably didn't buy enough.  Reminded me of From the Cradle to Enslave (Uh, if metal isn't your thing...don't click that.  Trust me. But if you do, it's the censored version because reasons)

 Tale of the Dragon by DeLeon Designs by Alexander Henry.  I love me some dragons.  I don't know what I will do with this yet but obviously it is badass. 

Aaaaaand my favorite.  TERROR OF THE DEEP from Natural Instincts, David Textiles.  I have been collecting toothy shark fabric for some time now as I find it because I need a quilt specifically to watch Shark week under. No, I am not kidding.  This will be the centerpiece.  CHOMP CHOMP MF.

I seriously cannot wait until these come in.  USPS needs to hurry tf up!

Stash Sunday a Day Late

My Stash Sunday is a day late.  Y'all know you can't expect me to be timely.

Well, the rush is finally over.  For another year, anyway!  Quiltopia was this weekend and our booth did pretty well all things considered.  Having a show the same weekend that a shop hop starts is rough for attendance, but we got it done anyway.  Every show is different, and it never ceases to amaze me what ends up being the thing no one can live without.  Last show it was a honeycomb panel with bees appliqued on top.  This show?  Fat quarters of Effervescence by Robert Kaufman.  Who knew?

So since this is a guild operated show, there was the green table in back.  The green table is where there is a ton of wicked'y inexpensive books, patterns, fabrics, and projects that the guild members bring to sell.  On the one hand, it kind of sucks for the rest of the vendors because we cannot compete with $3/yard,  but on the other hand...oh the goodies you'll find.  I found a print of flying pigs that my mom has had in her stash since the early-mid 90s.  Seriously...oh the things you can find.  For a fabri-holic this is a glorious and dangerous thing.

One of the weird things I love is heinous fabric.  Heinous. Fabric.  What do I mean?  Ugliness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder and I have been told on more than one occasion that I need my vision checked.  I tend to really enjoy pieces that make everyone else dry heave, and this weekend was no different.  I found this white and neon (yes, neon) print of like, french drink labels.  It makes no sense.  Neon, really?  And bikinis. Found those. Oh, and a really great bright fruit/flower print with bees.  WHY ARE THE ORANGES PURPLE?! What even is that??  I don't know.  But I had to have it.  So now, I do, to the tune of three yards. 

But what I also inexplicably like are African prints.  Not prints with African themes, though, those are cool too.  I mean from-Africa prints, you know, the ones that have so much sizing on them you could stand them up on end? Those.  There were tons of fat quarters that someone was selling off for $0.50 a pop.  So I ended up with something like 16 of them.  They are GORGEOUS and I cannot wait to use them!  Right now, I have a blessed lull in samples since I rushed them all for Quiltopia, so I have a wee bit of time to myself to do something I want to do.  I have been thinking about what to do, because even though I can't wait to make something of them, part of me can hardly bear to cut them up.
