Breath-taking.

Thank you Judy….your comment went to moderation so it was a nice surprise! I am all about the fabric, which is why I am currently trying to catalogue everything I have. Can’t believe what a task I undertook! Isn’t it fun meandering around the blogosphere? I especially like it when I bump into people I know on sites I don’t!

It’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe how expensive the silk was. I baulk at $8.00/yard fabric. Wow…..


Thanks Angie! Yes the price of the silk was mind boggling and a friend of mine who was unaware of the price [am being gracious] paid me $20 for a cushion I made her with it. Ouch!!

I had Kaffe knitting books, they must be in the garage somewhere. I should hunt them out. :)

Wow you were quick today…were you at work when you did this? I gave my Kaffe knitting books to the library and have never seen them since…I have found copies at Vinnies since. Incredibly expensive to buy new, I get them from Amazon.com when he has new ones out and save a bit that way.

Must try to do some non florals…tricky with upholstery and brocades as they seem to need the mix of fabrics….but should try and it would help the masses of piles of bulky fabrics I have in the garage!

I haven’t ever bought any of his fabrics…someday. I love reading his books over and over. The pictures are amazing and his quilts so inspiring.

I too love the photography in his books…so many people have been inspired to shoot their quilts outdoors because of his books. There is so much inspiration around and that is so apparent in his books…his china, glassware etc etc. I have a lot of his fabrics…my husband bought them for me on a trip to England and I have been trying to get more to contrast with what he bought. Almost there!
