Return of the Reflex and a Fabric Fieldtrip

September 25, 2011 in Fabric, Seattle and Beyond by emily | 1 comment

My partner in crime, er, Kathy and I headed off to unchartered (for me) territory. Mystical Vashon Island. (Ok, no idea if it’s really mystical but I had yet to make it over there so it was at least new to me.)

So of course, being on a ferry, I had to take a picture of the *other* ferry. (These aren’t the 4 I usually take obsessive amounts of pictures of but the 3 that run this route.)

We went to visit Island Quilter — noted in this fall’s Quilt Sampler Magazine as a top shop. They did not disappoint.

That’s just one tiny part of the store. It was huge.

While Kathy was getting her bolts cut, I was flipping through the magazine and saw this ad at the end of Island Quilter’s highlight:

How very perfect.

A Chance to Win Scrap Republic over at C&T

August 29, 2011 in Books, Fabric by emily | 5 comments

Your chance to win a copy of Scrap Republic over at C&T right now. Entries due by 6:00 pm PST on Sunday, September 4th, 2011.

And here is the scrap stash as of now. Anything over 1/8 yard(ish) is folded and in the Wall o’ Fabric. These are (just) the buckets of tiny little scraps that most sane people would just throw away.

I’m happy to have a stock room in this house to store them in a not-so-pretty way.

And remember this picture from February 21, 2010?

119.8 pounds of scraps sorted so I could start with the book quilts. I did not buy or otherwise acquire a single piece of fabric for the scrap versions in the book. And look at how much I still have leftover now. Gah!
