It can be a dull as dirt kind of day, and the UPS guy comes to the door in his little brown shorts and his good natured smile and says, "Here's another one!" And he hands over a little square box of surprisingly solid weight. Suddenly, I love my day. I love my UPS guy. And I LOVE Fatquartershop.com most of all.
I had actually forgotten that I had ordered this absolutley unlike-me fat quarter bundle. It is modern, it is colorful, it is FUN. It is Za Za by Erin Michael for Moda. Have no clue what I will do with it, but mark my words friends, I will do *something* with it, and soon. Indulge yourself in some dreamy yummy wallowing in this gorgeous fabric and all its cheerfulness:
need. want. *gasp* LOVE.

Hmmm...I got a box from Fat Quarter Shop today too. I ordered border fabric to finish my Swell quilt. I also got the Mary Engelbreit jelly roll and border fabric. It does make your day, doesn't it?

I looked at that and thought it was wonderful, but it is so not me...but I really like it. I'll be watching to see what you do with it.

I have those fabrics too and just love them very much.

I have also been looking at this line, I normally do not buy fabric with out an idea of what I am going to use it for, but that line has been calling to me, I will try to be strong.

YUM is right. I can't wait to see what this becomes.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...it SOOOOO looks like you...the fun, frivolous, carefree side of you! Can't wait to see what you create with all this goodness. Whatever it turns out to be, I have no doubt that our jaws will drop, our mouths will be saying, "Who knew it could be this great?" and we will all be envious. Go...start!

Boy do those colors remind me of spring. Yes I also love the little brown truck when it brings me packages from The Fat Quarter Shop.

How fun is that fabric...ironically...I just ordered some Free Spirit "ZaZu" http://www.freespiritfabric.com/core-pages/gallery.php?gal_id=124
Good things start with "Z" !! Have fun with it!
Happy Weekend, Nicole!

This does look like something you would like. It goes with your "new" decorative items I think. Ok, so which Ms Rosie gets honored? Have fun!!
