On the weekend my MIL and SIL kidnapped me in the early morning. Mom had woken up early to run to the fabric store for the 50% off stamp that day for me. How incredibly kind is that? The night before I mentioned that I’d love to hire Elizabeth my SIL to sew a quilt for my friends new baby girl. I won’t name my friend as I’m not sure if she checks in here or not, but she was totally on board and called me on-route to my house saying that I’d better get dressed cuz she was 5 mins away. We went to a swanky fabric store and drooled over many a pattern, there was just so much to choose from. I started to tell Liz about my friend and she immediately took me to a certain fabric and started matching others to it. I love it! She has such an eye for things to go together. Once I was fully convinced and ready to pull out my credit card she and mom both said “Hold it!” Now that we all know the feel you are going for with the quilt let’s check out Fabricland and see if they have something comparable but a bit less money. So reluctantly I dragged my pouty lip out the door and away to the other store. I have a tendency to get attached to an idea RIGHT AWAY and so leaving all that beautiful fabric was killing me. As it turned out we were able to find some GORGEOUS fabrics with the same chic, bold feel of the other stuff but at a fraction of the price - plus it was just great quality fabric too. The colors were different from the first choices, but the feel was so similar I couldn’t pass them up. I’m just jazzed for Liz to make this quilt and can picture my friends new little baby all bundled and sweet in it - looking OH SO Chic! Liz is so talented in many arena’s, but the girl makes her own quilt patterns and everything she touches is gold! I can’t wait to share some pics once it’s not a surprise anymore. :)
