So how many of you went Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale shopping then? I know, you’re wondering how I managed to need any more fabric after the US trip, but in fact I was hunting for something in particular, and by the time I’d decided I *needed* it, it wasn’t available in many places (in fact I don’t think it had originally been available in that many places as a complete line).
And what was the line? Winterkist. I love the wee gnomas, and the bright, cheery, not really Christmassy colours, meaning they could be used in winter projects rather than just Christmas ones. I’d thought when I originally saw it that if I spotted any in shops we visited in the US I might buy a little, but no dice. I finally found them at the Fat Quarter shop just after I got home from SS, but decided I’d wait until the sales to see if I could get them at a nicer price ;o) I stocked up on the FQ bundles from there, along with a yard of the blue gnomas, and then grabbed more yardage of the wee guys from Fabric.com with 4 more yards of different snowflakes for the backing, also in the sale, so I think I’m all kist out for now!
What lines were you hunting for in the sales? Is anything coming up that you can’t wait to grab? Other than Architextures and Salt Water, I think I’m good. And for those I’m not thinking I’ll need entire lines either in FQs or 1/2 yards, but the Architextures especially would make great backgrounds for things. It can wait til after Christmas sales anyway ;o) BTW though, have you seen the freebie patterns Tula’s had on her blog recently? And the hexie quilt she did for Market? Well there’s going to be a kit for that quilt, and I may *need* to get it…

I covet most fabrics reguardless of lines. With me it's the colours and the feel of the fabric and quality of the dye used.
Now, the gnome fabric shown here would fit very nicely in my stash and I love how it's not done up in typical Christmassy colours.
I love the colors in Winterkist. I have been waiting for Type by Julia Rothman. And I really want a couple of the texty prints in the Architextures line. (drool….) And then I MUST.stop.buying.fabric!
Lovely choices x
I'm with you, i'm LOVING that pattern – I have Saltwater coming in soon… let's just say i'm really excited hahaha
That Winterkist is lovely, I don't think I've seen it in any UK fabrics shop! Can't wait to see what you create!
I really want some of both Architextures and Salt Water, I've also got my eye on some Type. I hope Father Christmas is listening to my comment! or at least gives me some money to spend!
Good buy – I love Winterkist!
I want some architectures especially but I can't afford any more fabric before Christmas – off work with no pay and Christmas not conducive to buying fabric 🙁
I love the Winterkissed colours too. Good buy!
Ooooh, love them! I've just decided I need winterkist (like, yesterday) and I fear I've left it too late…. I have however just pre ordered an insane amount of Saltwater, so I'll console myself with that ;o)
Like you, I bought some Winterkist. In fact, hehe, I got some duplicates by missssnake. But that`s OK. It’s not like they will go to waste! I also got a FQ set of Notting Hill in the orange/pink colorway, some old Pat Bravo prints on clearance (that go nicely with more of the Indie that I bought!). I also ordered about 7-8 yards of Salt Water; I am going to make my first Weekender out of it (picture it on the cruise to the Bahamas with me!). Whatever is left over, I will either cuddle or sew with. It’s all good. 🙂 Hugs, Cat
The fabric Winter kisses is beautiful.
Hugs
I may have a few purchases arrive this week! Love winter lists! Pretty! Bust stroking splendour 1920! Oops!
Ha ha love predictive text!
Love that fabric you got! Great colors. I'm coveting the same fabrics you are. And that Anchor quilt from Tula – I REALLY want to make that one. 🙂
What a great haul! I'm looking forward to seeing what you use it for.
I've been surprisingly well behaved this year and didn't buy a single bit of fabric on black friday or cyber monday. I shocked myself. I also haven't been stalking the new fabric releases as much lately. Trying to focus on finishing projects right now…
I agree with Melissa, but a half yard stack of AMH got into my cart… I love Monica's Christmas fabric. Working on a quilt with her fabric from last year! 2013 has to be stash year for sure.
Nooo. hexagons are EVIL. dont' do it. remember, 666 is the devil's number. (Can't believe you got more fabric. I am doing a major clear and rearrange to fit everything in ).
no money so that made things easy!!
Love all those patterns Tula created – I've bookmarked them all!
I bought the winterkist in the sales too, I just have to figure out what to make now. And I have downloaded all the Tula Pink patterns, they are great.
I went a bit crazy in the sales. A stack of Chicopee is on it's way. I've preordered Salt Water at a preorder discount price Yay! That'll be my Christmas pressie. Looking forward to seeing what you make with your colourful gnomes.
'Me Julie' hasn't arrived yet – has yours? Great choices K!
Oooh I like the blues and greens in the Winterkist line. Very pretty.
Tula’s hexie quilt is unbelievably gorgeous. I may just be joining you in getting that kit!
I havent been on a fabric bender in ages…
