I'm completed the blocks for "Love Blooms Here" (Parts 1 & 2) so this Sunday, I'm working on an old UFO. It's a table runner, and on each end is a basket of flowers. I've appliqued the flowers on one end this week, and today, I'll start on the other end.
For the first weekend in a long while (since Christmas I think!) we finally have had some decent weather, so Hubby and I decided to make a trip home to see some family. While we were there, I stopped at Baskins Fabrics to feed my need for fabric. I was delighted to find that they had three huge baskets full of baggies of fabrics at $1 each. Here's a small selection of a few I added to my stash.
Fleurs de lis, chandeliers, and chairs. I love these colours.
Ordinarily, I would never buy batiks, but I noticed right away that the print (below) were of Fiestaware, then I noticed coffee pots and mixers - and thought these were so unusual and delightful, I could find a place for them. Each piece is about 24" x 10, and I got doubles of some of the colourways.
This fabric below is very sweet. I might cover some notebooks and give them to other social workers I work with in the community.

My Quiltmaker magazine just arrived yesterday. I can now get started on the second part. Your blocks are amazing! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat great blocks. Love your fabric choices - lucky you to hit such a sale.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a batik person either, but then again I have never seen batiks with such nifty prints! How modern. I especially love the "tail model" helping show off your wares ; )
ReplyDeleteI too am not one for batiks, but I love the chandeliers and chairs. Thanks for linking up. Does you cat often photobomb??
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! He's a total ham. As soon as he hears the camera turn on, he's showing off his best side!
DeleteI am using the basket block from Quiltmaker as my medallion for my hexie project. I think I may change the hearts into flowers and add a few butterflies and maybe some bees. I love the table runner such a cute basket. You did great with choosing fabrics I especially love the last pic and that chair fabric.
