I'm Solid


Solid as a rock.  Predictable too!  Solids.  Bright, saturated and bold. Those are what soothes my soul.

Several times a day I have to check out #thegreatfabricdestash on Instagram.  One never knows what one will find!  While I would never pay some of the outrageous prices people do for little bits of fabric...it's hard to pass up a bundle of solids.  (as long as they are priced fairly)  When I saw this set of Peppered Cotton, you know I had to jump on it!    

Peppered Cotton
It seems I have a handful of deliciousness!  How about some Ink, Peacock, Fuchsia, Blue Jay, Magenta, Lake, Green Tea, Garnet, Charcoal and a Cherry color on top!  


I searched for the names of each color, but it was a little hard to know for sure on a few of them.  What I did find out is fabric.com carries these! And they are on sale...I had no idea!

Tidbit Time:  I'm trying to expand my horizons.  Buy new lines of fabric which includes prints.  I believe I have 4-5 carts from 4-5 different shops with 4-5 bundles in each.  I get freaked out when buying prints, so they sit in virtual cyber space!

What would our lives be like if we didn't have digital cameras, phones that take pictures, iPads?  Many of us can remember when cameras with film was all there was.  You had to take the film to the store and wait to see your pictures.  For me it was wait to see the awful, wasted shots!  And I had to pay for them!  Yikes!  Now that I have shown my age...

I find that its fun to just shoot pictures of fabric, thread or random closeups.  They can be pretty amazing!  Today along with my sunday stash I thought I would share a few of what I like to call my 'Cheese Cake', 'Centerfold' or 'Pin Up' shots.  Just for fun, just for something different!

My Pin Cushion
WIP.  I like when the foreground is out of focus and the background is clear as a bell.
Pins are always good to shoot.
Or a close up of a freshly washed quilt!  You know...Crinkle Magic!

Have a great Sunday!!
