I think most of you can relate to my feelings of fabric making me "happy". My love for fabric dates back to my childhood home where my mother, Freda, had fabric lined up on shelves and her sewing room was where we always found her. The older I get the more nostalgic I get about growing up in a working class city and in a home where I was happy.
I want to show you some cuts from Lecien's 30's collection. I have had (and used) some of these fabrics before and some of them are new to me. I love love this line of fabric. (I know, I've used up my allotment of the word love, now) Isn't this heart fabric super sweet?
I was told years ago by someone that pink and red do not go together. Hmmph! What do they know? I love pink and red together.
The dot with strawberries and cherries is a great fabric. And the little rosebud heart is just perfect.
These two fabrics have a feedsack quality to them. I like the explosion of flowers in them.
Oh gray, I'm so adoring you right now. These two are both gray backgrounds. The lighter one is just a hint of gray and the darker tulip is really wonderful.
I really enjoy a baby deer on fabric. And these with the parade of daisies are just lovely.
It is a great pile of 1/2 yard cuts. I am going to keep them out where I can be inspired by them.-nanette

Oooooh... I love that gray! I love all of them actually; even the pink. I seem to be on a pink kick lately!
Jennifer :)
Ohh, You have a great collection. I love to look at my Katy Jump Rope, look, not cut!!
"someone" doesn't know what they're talking about!
pink and red are the two very best colors.
and those fabrics are all lovely.
Fabric brings back memories for me also. I remember going into a fabric shop when I was a little girl with my Aunt. I was smitten. I picked out some pretty purple and pink flowered fabric and she took me home and made me 2 dresses. A few years ago before she passed away, she sent me a bag of scraps and in it were scraps from those 2 dresses!
Yours are all beautiful. They deserve to be admired!
So pretty and a day brightener to look at them. Thanks!
Pink and red don't go together???? "Someone" has no idea what they're talking about. :-p to them. LOL
I love all your sweet prints - yummy!!!!
How's Little Eliza and sweet Allison? Need a little update, please.
I am a big Lecien fan, their Old New collection and the 30s, beautiful
I would l.o.v.e to see your stash in person, Nanette! I would hug it and squeeze it and call it 'lovely'!
Love anything from the 30s, or that looks like it's from the 30s - these are lovely!
The fabrics are beautiful! I have such a terrible time cutting into fabrics that I love! Are you that way?
I don't blame you a bit. They are gorgeous - all of them, and they'll be handy for fabric-petting. I got some fabric in the mail the other day and Mr. Muddling asked me if I wasn't going to pet it. So I did. LOL
Pink and red don't go together? News to me. I love them together.
And those tulip bouquet prints have me drooling. So pretty.
So beautiful - I am about to start a little quilt with reds - wish I could pop through the screen and steal some, lol!
Hugs - Lurline
I just love all of these fabrics. I too think red and pink go together. I know what you mean about making fabric making you happy. I am laughed at by friends who don`t sew when I tell them I just sometimes stroke my fabrics! Joan
Love Love LOVE!
There, I said it three times :)
Beautiful fabrics, Nanette, as always, thanks for sharing some of your inspiration!
gorgeous collection! I must close my mouth now and stop drooling! :p
