Retreat Fabrics Jan 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used some of my Christmas money to buy some new fabrics. Are you surprised?<\/p>\n

The second row dot fabrics will be a tote bag. I love the color combination. I thought the orange was more of a salmony orange, but the lighting in the store wasn\u2019t that good and I found out it was a more pure orange. That is ok. I still think the color combo looks good.<\/p>\n

I may use them to try the scaled down AMH<\/a> MTT. I still haven\u2019t tried the scaled down version. I have a rule to use good fabric for new projects in case it comes out well, but I decide not to make the pattern again (remember the Sweet Harmony bag<\/a>?)\u00a0 Thus, I am wondering whether I want to use good fabric and possibly screw it up or fabric I don\u2019t care that much about and have it come out really well.<\/p>\n

Julie took me\u00a0 to a store called Hart\u2019s<\/a>. What an awesome store! They had one of the largest selections of quilt fabrics I have seen in a long time. The quilt fabric selection was HUGE! Julie said she hadn\u2019t been there in a while because of a bad experience\u00a0 when her kids were little. We were pleased that the service was excellent!<\/p>\n

Hart\u2019s also has an upholstery section. They had lots of wonderful upholstery fabric, trims and laminated cotton. The selection of laminated cottons and oilcloth was more extensive than I have seen anywhere. Some of their laminated cottons were so soft they were almost like non-laminated cottons.<\/p>\n

The Cal fabric, from Beverly\u2019s, will be for some pillowcases. That is all I can say right now as I am contemplating whether they will be gifts. Yes, I am planning ahead. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

The red dot fabric (top row, third from the left) was the gift wrapping on my gift from Julie. I don\u2019t remember seeing those dots and the wrapping she did looked like that form of Japanese wrapping, whose name I can\u2019t remember right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
