Yummy fabric...

 

More red & whites for the Nearly Insane

 

And some fabrics just because I like them :o)

 

Now if I could only get my sewing mojo back. I intended to sew like the wind yesterday, instead I sat and watched hours of The Deadliest Catch with my husband. It's very addicting, really it is! I did do some handwork while sitting. I guess I didn't feel very well, but I think I'm on the mend today.
The visit with Emily was wonderful. We went to Sarah's in Lawrence (Emily & I) and I think we were in there at least 2 hours. They probably have between 7 to 10,000 bolts of fabric and no I'm not exaggerating, so it takes some time to get acclimated.
I like it because you can find new fabric and old, but it takes time as they don't have kits or even many fat quarters, which I don't buy anymore anyway. They kind of un-thread/cut the fabric on the grain and I've not seen that done any place else.

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Dad's out there. I miss my Dad everyday, but today most of all. I'll try to make this day extra special for my husband, he's such a great dad to his girls. Well I'm off to make some breakfast!

Looks like your shopping mojo is there, maybe the sewing one will follow. LOL!

Just adore those NI reds and the gotta haves. The best way of buying fabrics :-)

It's ok to slow down once in a while. With those fabrics at least you're planning ahead.

Ranette,
I was reading Tonya's blog and I noticed that she has just returned from a Holiday- perhaps that is why she hasn't contacted you- I am sure she is excited to be your winner- It is such a nice prize you have awarded her.
I hope you get your sewing mojo back. It sounds like you saw so much gorgeous fabric- with Emily.
Love your pretty red fabrics and your beautiful wall paper on your blog - such gorgeous rich colors together.
Warmest regards,
Anna

I love the fabrics that you're picking for the Nearly Insane blocks! I do handwork to both Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch. They are kind of like soap operas that I can watch with my husband :)
