Work has intervened and I have not had much time to finish blogging my trip to Denver or sew. 🙁 There may be a little time this weekend, but we will see.
Although I haven’t worked on the Pineapple blocks much lately, I have been looking at them a lot. I decided that I really like these fabrics. St. JCN says that they are from Timeless Treasures, but they are from at least a year ago and, it seems, nearly impossible to find again. I wish companies wouldn’t get so excited about discontinuing fabric. Alternatively, I need to use my fabric up quicker.
St. JCN has decided to use a bit of each of the fabric she buys in blocks right away. This allows her to see how it works in block, so she can go and get more right away if she really likes it. I think this is a fantastic idea! Another reason it is great is because after awhile she will have a wonderful collection of scrap blocks or a nice scrap quilt.
Another fabric avalanche in the closet. Sigh. I am working on rearranging my dots and it has yielded some fabrics that I had run out of in the Pineapple strip piles and forgotten about. This is nice. It is like buying new fabric without actually buying new fabric.
Other inadequacies… the fabric from Denver is still not completely washed. What is washed (warm colors) is not pressed. 
The Kaffe Fassett dots have arrived and they are completely fantastic, not only because the colors, etc are fantastic, but primarily because St. JCN sent them WASHED and PRESSED and in beautiful symmetrical little folded packets and I can start using them right away. I will gladly welcome into my life anyone else who wants to act like this. Actually what I need is someone who can be a personal assistant, who will do anything I ask perfectly and without complaining including sending out the invoices to my clients for a very inexpensive price. Dream on, I know.
Please keep reading. I’ll post more meat soon. I have a number of magazine articles I would like to review.
