When Fabric Speaks to You

I love it when fabric speaks to me! 

Just to be clear, it doesn't actually talk, but it does touch me in a way that helps me determine how to use it. 

I think we've all been there. We buy a piece of fabric without a plan for it. We just fall in love with it and have to have it. That has happened to me many times, which is why I have a substantial stash. 

There are also times that while it is not verbal, the fabric actually does send me a message. That's what I'm talking about today. 

I was working on my Homespun quilts and was surprised at how many times it looks like I fussy cut pieces. I did NOT fussy cut anything. As a matter of fact, I was using a pre-cut so these "messages" simply appeared. The fabric is Keep Shining Bright, by Anne Rowan for Wilmington Fabrics. 

I love what I'm reading and choose to believe that there was some divine intervention involved here.   





My tops are complete, but I don't have pictures yet. But...I will show them up on the design wall before blocks were sewn together. This quilt has two layout options and here's a picture from the designer (Modernly Morgan) that shows both of them - side by side. 


Here are my versions. I used the same fabrics for both, but simply laid them out differently. I seriously did not mess with this at all and randomly placed blocks. (Yes, these are really bad pictures, but I took them to help me keep track of the layout when I was moving blocks from the design wall to the sewing machine. If I don't do that, I always seem to sew at least one thing wrong.) 



I don't know when, but I will get better pictures and share them here. I seriously loved making these quilts! I toyed with the idea of adding borders but changed my mind once I started looking at my options. I did however, create my own size for this quilt because I wanted a somewhat small rectangular quilt rather than a square one. My quilts measure 48" x 64", which is just what I wanted. 

What are you working on today?

  3. Hi Joanne,
    The pattern is an interesting one - I had to look at it for a while to realize that the difference was just placing the blocks directly below each other or staggering them in the next row. Two great quilts. Thanks for linking with Design Wall Mondays, Judy

  4. Life has not been easy with me after my marriage was broken when my husband filled for a divorced but I thank God for using LORD ZAKUZA who's like a God on Earth to get my broken marriage restored with his powerful spell. I suffered for depression for 6 months but today, I am so happy for getting to know LORD ZAKUZA for his spell has really made me to believe that of a truth spells are real and they work. I adhered to every bit of instructions given to me by LORD ZAKUZA for he promised me that he will make me happy and proud and really, all that happened and my husband came back to me with his knees on the ground begging me for forgiveness within 48 hours after I got in touch with him and now we are perfectly bonded again for life. I can boldly say to everyone out there that LORD ZAKUZA spells is really the best and most powerful. I'm forever grateful to him till the end of time. So, you can get connected with him on Email via: Lordzakuza7@gmail.com or WhatsApp with this number +1 (740) 573-9483.

  9. I have been unlucky playing the Lottery over the years. I couldn't take the pain anymore and I searched for help online. I saw random positive reviews of DR AMBER saying how he has been helpful with his spells. I visited his webpage: ( amberlottotemple.com ) and he told me what was required to get what I seek for done and I accepted. He did a reading for me that made it clear to him that I was going to become a MEGA JACKPOT winner and he gave me the right numbers to play the Lottery. I had faith in him and I went back to the store a few days later to confirm if I had won. While the clerk was checking my ticket, I heard her say ‘Oh my God! I looked up and saw the Big Winner screen of $36,449,852.60. I was completely shocked, but calm. It feels amazing – I can’t imagine this shift in my life and I want to appreciate this man DR AMBER for his help. It’s not everybody that is naturally lucky to win the Lottery but the solution to win is DR AMBER. For more info Call/Text/Telegram +1 808 481 5132 or E-mail: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com
