Its Friday - here are some fabulous fabrics

22 comments
My arm is 90%, thanks for all your good wishes to me. I'm back sewing but have nothing really I can show. So here are some fabulous fabrics I picked up over the Labor Day sales. I got a few from Kathy at Pink Chalk Fabric and some from Sew Mama Sew.

I think this border print would be really cute for one of my dresses. I'm sure its for pillow cases but It could work for lots of things.

I have plans for 2 of these but the dress pattern fabric was so unusual and cute I couldn't pass it up. Michele at Calico Daisy pointed it out to me. Thanks Michele. I think ;-).

This is a pop garden fabric that I just loved so I got just a small piece. It's so pretty. I couldn't decide what color to get in this print but you can't go wrong with the softer palate.

I've really enjoyed seeing this 1974 line from Urban Chicks everywhere. I like these small charm packs. They give you a taste of the fabric for a small price.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I love that border print -- and can definitely see one of your dress appliques from that!
Charm packs are great -- for scrappy quilters they're pure heaven! :-)

I like that dress pattern fabric. How cute! I have 1974 on my list to get but I am trying to use what I have (not sure if it is working)

Very pretty fabrics! It's always fun to have some new things for fresh inspiration. I especially love that 1974 line. I've not used charm squares before. They do look like fun though!

I love your fabrics...especially the border print and the one with dresses on it...so cute! What great finds! =)

Thimbleanna said...

Ooooh ... yummy fabrics! You must show us if you make a dress from that border print! I've never had a charm pack before but I'm getting one soon from Anna M. and I'm very excited!

Susan said...

I like charm packs for that same reason...and now they are coming out with "twice the charm" a 5"x10" set of the whole collection.

So happy to hear the arm is mending.

Great fabrics Nanette. Have fun using it all. :-) I have that first one, the pink border, as little cafe curtains in the guest room.

Mimi Sue said...

What beautiful fabric. You can never have too much. Mimi

CJ said...

Oh, I see you couldn't resist the 1974 - a charm pack AND some of the red dot with the turquoise around each dot. :D I like that print with the pattern pieces too. Such lovely fabrics to feast the eyes on. Thanks for sharing.

Eileen said...

Oh yes, I can just see a little dress made from that pillow case fabric. And the dress pattern fabric is terrific! I would not want to cut that either. But might be tempted to try making one of the dresses!
Glad your arm is almost better. :-)

Kim said...

Lots of pretties again this week :)
So, I was reading Happy Zombie's fabric post too and found this site:

a few just cried out your name...lol

Mary said...

I do love charm packs, but I use them at a far slower pace than I buy them.

Then again, that could be said of all of my fabric.

But I am vicariously shopping for fabric with you right now. Thanks.

John said...

I too couldn't resist the 1974 charm packs ... in fact, I bought 2 of them! Not sure yet what I'm going to do with them, but now I'm excited to see what you come up with ...

I really love the urban chicks fabric I am seeing everywhere too! I want some too! This reminds me I should place an order... Thanks for the beautiful eye candy!
