These are the first bits of fabric that I have bought for the Young Man’s food quilt. He is getting a food quilt from my mom, but I am making him one as well. I am only going to use this kind of fabric for the quilt. Mom used a variety of different food fabrics. I saw a few others on Quiltshops.com, but haven’t decided how many I need, so will wait to purchase. I do want to get the raspberries and I have some cherries.
After seeing Robin’s version of the Disappearing Nine Patch at the Retreat, I decided I wanted to try that pattern as well. I am going to put a red square in the middle and then black on white or a white on black print in the outside middle positions. I am going to do a test to see what looks best or if I need to rethink my color scheme completely. Make visual decisions visually.
I went on a mini book buying binge last Monday (not yesterday). It was part of therapy after the crazy family weekend. The Practical Guide to Patchwork was not in the purchase. I had that before, but hadn’t shown it and wanted to make the picture nice and even and not show you too much of the life sucking beige carpet that in on my workroom floor. Look for reviews.
I have a couple new-to-me books too. I am thinking about doing reviews for them as you and Sandy have inspired me there. These are OLD books though. I find them fascinating sometimes! What do you think about it? I might make eBayer’s happy to sell off some older books! lol
I almost bought the Organizing Solutions book but took it back out of my cart at the last minute. Too many quilting pattern books in the cart at the moment–got squeamish about the total cost. I’ll be anxious to read your review, though. It’s still on my wish list!
I review whatever I feel like reviewing regardless of how new or old it is. I say go for it.
I can’t stand the pressure!
I heard and interview with the author and really liked what she had to say. I have 2 reviews ready to go – just haven’t gotten them typed or posted. It has been a bit of a crazy week.
