Acquisitions!

I have purchased some lovely little things in the last couple of weeks..

The Cute Stuff book isn’t new, nor is the cute cat, but Sew Pretty Homestyle and Sewing in No Time are. I’ve also acquired Layer Cake, Jelly Roll, and Charm Quilts and Heather Ross’ book Weekend Sewing.

From left to right, from the sale at Purlescence, I have silkworm-friendly Nature’s Harvest ‘Wild Silk’, one skein of Alchemy ‘Haiku’, my first ever skein of 100% cashmere from Artyarns, and two skeins of Claudia Handpainted ‘Felt Me’. The Noro ‘Kochoran’ is one of two I bought on sale from Twist Fibre Craft Studio in Newburgh. From this lovely shop I also purchased…

…some gorgeous variegated merino-silk fibre, some felt, and some Lopi Roving along with some other assorted bits and bobs (they had squeakers! I’ll be able to do lots of mischief with those! ). I have no idea what I’ll do with these materials, but it’s fun to ponder and they are beautiful to look at..

I bought my first Moda pre-cuts–I suppose it was only a matter of time. I intend to use the Wonderland to sew Nyssa the Moda Bakeshop Patchwork Skirt. I hope I have leftovers because I adore that line. I might need to get a jelly roll or layer cake.. Also in the pile is a fat quarter set of orangey florals from John Louden, a Moda ‘Kansas Winter’ charm pack and a ‘Peace on Earth’ Layer Cake.

It’s amazing how pleasing owning bits of spun or woven fibre can be
