The other day I had an idea to make a skirt. That idea turned into the idea to make 3 skirts. Which then resulted in several online shops gaining a little business from me.
A few days later they started to show up. For 3 days I got packages in the mail. Fabric mail is so much fun!
Most of my purchases were Voile. Mostly Anna Maria Horner from a few of her collections and a couple from Amy Butler, too. Of course no 1 store had all that I wanted so I needed to get a few here and a few there. Also, since most stores sell 1/2 yds as their smallest cut and I only needed 1/4 have extra for a little throw for me. :o)
I just looked through the pictures I took of the process. I'm not done yet but when I am I think I'll post how I did it.
Speaking of tutorials---
A few days ago my phone was getting sluggish so I decided to email myself the pics of my Hexes and Exes progress and delete them from my phone. I should've checked first because I just looked at the email and only 1, yes 1! actually sent. Waaaa!!!
I went through IG and stole a few of the pics back but I am so frustrated. All those "Y" seam pics gone. GONE!!! The only saving grace is the fact that I had a few blocks leftover so I can re-do those pics. But still! Grrr!!!
In the meantime I'll enjoy this stained glass pic I took right before heading to the quilter. I love the look of the seams with the light shining from behind.
That is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. And oh, I HATE losing pictures! There's one in particular that I took in July of my family rock climbing that I LOVED. It was incredible and no way to redo it. I was transferring that day's photos to the memory card in the phone when somebody texted me and everything in that file got destroyed. Boo!!!
