He knows that FABRIC makes me happy, lots and lots of fabric, and he never, ever takes issue with my many purchases. Heck, he probably thinks that I could be crazy for DIAMONDS or something! He's getting off cheap! But it's fabric that makes my heart go pitter-patter. Well, and him, of course. Although we did not "know" each other as children, we did attend the same schools from elementary through high school. I remember him from when I was 10 years old. He was the tallest (and handsomest...) boy at at Peachland Elementary. We started dating when I was 18 and he was 19 and he has been my Valentine ever since, 47 whole years worth. That's some kind of a record/miracle these days. We like to say that we grew up together because we were such incredible BABIES when we got married!
But I degress. I wanted to show you my new fabrics. I always look ahead at the various lines scheduled for release and have been waiting for this one. It is the new "Larkspur" line by 3 Sisters for Moda. I have been searching for a line with the same feeling as the old Moda, "Luna Notte" line. Do you remember it? It had beautiful soft colors, lovely prints and a bit of a vintage feel, which I totally love. I've had wonderful success selling thread catchers made from those fabrics. But alas, there appears to be very little left on the planet probably because I purchased most of it! When I saw the photos for "Larkspur", I knew that it was the perfect line for more thread catchers using my Sew Sassy Thread Catcher pattern like this one. I will be getting started with my new Larkspur fabrics this afternoon, but I had to lay them out and just gaze lovingly for a moment. Ahhhhhh!, such a feast for the eyes...
