All LV’ed Out

by | 31.12.2013 | Uncategorized | 20 comments

You may have noticed me whining and moaning mentioning about my bee-mates’ fondness for LV fabric this year.  As all my bees this year are stash bees, this has been something of a challenge, as it wasn’t something I had a huge supply of.  I think I may have cracked it though…

  • I joined Rachael’s LV charm swap, taking two spots, to be on the safe side.
  • I raided the Fat Quarter shop in the Black Friday sales for some half yard cuts
  • I snagged a Botanics Bundle and an LV fat 16th bundle, also in the Black Friday sales, from Pink Castle

So how long do you reckon this lot will last for?

    I'd best make sure I use LV in my blocks in Feb then to make sure that these don't go to waste then. 😉 Thanks you for your forward planning.

    Great fabric. In a way I am tried of the LV too. However, then I see the prettiness and think well maybe….

    At first I was like what in the world is LV, he he. OK I got it 🙂 My guess is it'll survive 2013 for sure. Have fun with those in fastly uproaching New Year!

    I am so not a LV girl either, but I am sure your Bee mates will be thrilled with these fabrics in their blocks!

    Let's hope the fashion for LV lasts long enough! I've really enjoyed sewing with my LV charms from
    The swap, I'd never have got that variety on my own. Your stack looks lovely!

    Well scored! LV appetites seem insatiable in bees so I think this will all get put to very good use.

    Nice blog changes for the New Year Katy.

    The rate you sew and create at I think you'll be through this lot in about a month !
