Fat Quarters

Our local fabric offerings are rather bland, with the same fabrics appearing in every shop and generally geared towards curtains and matching accessories. Consequently I can spend hours on online fabric shops sifting through wonderful arrays of cotton prints.

At work you’ll often find me comtemplating what I could make with a particular print or researching different weights of interfacing. As my lunch hour disappears my ‘basket’ becomes heavy with all the fabric I have fallen for but time prevents me from making a final choice and I return to my work with un-used plastic and empty handed.

So when a post from sewsewnice regarding her ‘fat quarters club’ appeared on my facebook page I succumbed.

What harm can it do for a few short months? Someone else choosing fabrics for me!

Sewsewnice specializes in fabric for youngsters so this is perfect for all the gifts I generally make across the year and especially at Christmas.

I know there will come a point when I call time on this particular club.After all there is only so much child based print that I can find a use for.

However another cousin of mine has just had their third child, a baby girl called Ada. I shall be busy this weekend with neckerchief style bibs and wet bags.Meanwhile it is such a lovely surprise to see what arrives through my door each month.Who could resist?

Love, Lucie x
