Fabric stash

I don't have any completed projects to post today, but I did want to show off some new fabrics that I got recently. The first is quite a bundle, a bunch of stuff from my Mom that she's had for awhile. Most of it is leftovers from the quilts she made for my kids for their first Christmases.

Here are a couple of my favorites:


These are some Mary Engelbreit fat quarters:

These are some wonderful old handkerchiefs that belonged to my grandmother. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, because I want to preserve all the great little details:

Some of the details:

And these were kind of expensive, but I just couldn't help myself. They're from Heather Ross' new line for Kokka, called 'Far, Far Away'. The unicorn print was my favorite by far, so I got three colors:

So gorgeous:


Even the selvages are cute!:


The only problem with the unicorn fabric is the place where I bought it. The dress I was planning to make needs two large skirt pieces, and they cut the fabric so wonky (all three colors!) that the pattern piece won't fit. So I'm planning to email the shop and see what they can do for me, but in the meantime, I can't cut the fabric in case they want to exchange it. So I'm left without my planned project. I have bunches of stuff I can start on, I just don't know what yet. But hopefully I'll have something done (and photographed!) before next weekend.

Excited

I just got some new fabrics that I ordered, plus two new oliver + s patterns (for the Bubble dress and the Birthday Party dress), so now I cannot wait to start making pretty dresses for the baby (toddler, actually)! I'm already in the middle of an oliver + s pattern, the A Day in the Park backpack tote, which I'm also glad to be making...but dresses! Pretty dresses! Cute patterns! Gorgeous fabrics! *sigh*

We'll see if I can hold out and finish this project before I start a new one...I'm really not sure which way I'll go at this point.
