Remember how I told you on Wednesday that I’d put all my purchases away? Well do you think I actually took a photo first?! Errrr, no, sorry #epicfail All I can say is that on Saturday evening when I felt the urge to start putting them away for 3 hours after having been on the go for 45 hours or so with only 2 hours of sleep, it didn’t even occur to me to grab the camera. And the next day I happily carried on rearranging my shelves, refolding, sorting, and still didn’t give it a thought. I can tell you now that I’m not about to haul it all out again for photos ;o)
So what did I buy? Well most of these I bought in online sales over the summer and had sent to Danny, Laura’s and my fabric mule. She brought us boxes of fabric to SLC to meet up with us at SS! Here’s what I brought home (photos borrowed from several shops!):
FQ bundle of Madrona Road (thanks to Randi for the pic, who I didn’t get this from but got something else instead!)
FQ bundle of Indie (pic from Pat Bravo herself)
1/2 yard bundle of Brrr, as a bear maker I couldn’t resist! (pic from the shop on Etsy where I bought it)
FQ bundle of Bella (pic from the shop on Etsy where I bought it) which will be the back to my Echo top.
1/2 yard bundle of Nightshade in Vapour (pic borrowed from Etsy)
1/2 yard bundle Perfectly Perched (pic borrowed from Etsy)
2 x 1 yard Amy Butler voiles, whose name totally eludes me, and therefore I can’t find a photo!
In the shops on our trip I got a few yards and half yards of disparate fabrics for bag making including a little Ghastlies, some Cosmo Cricket Odds & Ends, and a bunch of blank and white French style prints from a few lines, along with Kona School Bus, and a couple of 1/2 yards of binding suitable fabrics, plus there were a whole load of FQs from loads of lines, mainly for stash building, but a few for bag accents too. I also got a some laminates for bags, which I’m looking forward to getting into, including a little of the French style stuff, some Riley Blake chevrons aaaaand, some Prince Charming frog princes!!!
The best shop we visited on the tour was definitely Quiltique in Henderson, Nevada, so if you find yourself over there, go and luxuriate, it’s a HUMONGOUS shop filled to the brim with modern fabrics.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your lovely new fabric in some lovely new projects – no pressure ;o)
Jaw droppingly awesome purchases. Bet the "stashbuilder" bits are too.. lol
Hi Katy,
You are so very kind. You've eliminated all the shops and shopping and goofing around looking at every piece of fabric for me. I can just come by your place and choose – easy peasy! Especially since I like all of these and I'm sure I could put them in my stash just as easily as you could keep them for yourself!
ha ha! Just kidding but you've got great taste even if you can't remember to take a photo – which I find amusing. You can manage to put all the stuff away (which is more difficult after 45 hours) but no photos. Funny! I would find it easier to leave them be and take a photo than to put them away.
Good for you – have you finished making them up yet? Only joking – but knowing you, I'm sure it won't be too much longer before we see what you turn them into.
Happy Grins,

How much did you have to pay in excess baggage fees?!!! Great purchases though.
Holly Crap you have a whole fabric shop!!!! I have bits and pieces from a lot of these ranges but missed out on a lot of what I wanted. Just as well because I'd not be able to store it all – how are you managing? I have visions of you putting it anywhere and everywhere 🙂
Bloody hell!
Jealous!!!
I was going to say bloody hell or holy crap but didn't get here in time so instead I'll just say Gad Zooks!!
Speechless and envious and how much do I like the look of Brrrr.
Not much then! But all so very lovely!
I am impressed you had space to put all of that away straight away, your fabric stock had obviously dwindled to almost nothing!
Brrr is awesome! You need to start making stuff girl
Love all your fabric choices so much. I have a thing about writing on fabric I love it. The turquoise red and white fabric is to die for. You must have a big cupboard. Happy sewing.
Oh wow, that is a lot of folding! Really great purchases! I am kind of obsessed with Madrona Road right now.
Wouldn't you know that now that my parents no longer live in Henderson, NV there is a great shop there. It looks like you have lots of new pretties to be working with in the next few months
Did you leave any fabric for the rest of us?
It all looks terrific but Im really loving that Indie fabric.
Well if there is oo mch yummy fabric for you to store at yours, I can store some of it here, it woud actually be sate too, as I would happily just look at it and stroke it rather than cut into in, LOL, all scrummy!
