As I mentioned yesterday TFQ visited me last week. She LOVES fabric. Not just likes, but truly loves. When together and discussing something optional that we don’t want to pay for (parking tickets, etc), we talk about the cost in terms of yards of fabric. For example, “I had better slow down so I don’t get a ticket; that is at least 35.5 yards of fabric.” I find it to be quite hilarious and would love to hear what someone says who overhears these conversations.
She loves fabric so much that she will press any fabric I have not washed and pressed. ANY fabric and she considers it time well spent as she can fondle all of my fabric. A fabric saint, if there ever was one, though I am not allowed to say that anymore.
Over the past several months I have accumulated new fabric (you can look back through the blog to see what it was). I haven’t been very diligent about washing it. I have washed and pressed some, but most was still waiting to be washed when the Fabric Queen arrived. Now it is all washed, pressed and beautifully folded. TFQ pressed it all (see above). We got home from the show and I started shoving loads in the washer and she started pressing the stuff I had washed and had not gotten around to pressing. I have lots of of new dots to use for the Pineapple. YAY!
One of the errands we ran before we went to the show were to go pick up my quilts from the quilter and other quilts from the photographer. I finally got the Nosegay back and above is a detail of the quilting. I haven’t sewed the binding down yet, but it is in the queue.
