A Little Fabric Friday...

Mendocino, Heather Ross

Sometimes fabric jumps out at you and bites you in the ankle.  Before you can even think, it is in a bag and on its way home.  That happened to me the other day when I was buying the stainless steel Klutz glove.  I was standing at the cash.  Ho humming along.  Tried on the glove.  Looked down slightly at the "end of the bolt" display and grabbed without thinking just under a metre of .... Mendocino sea horses by Heather Ross.  Yep.  And heavily discounted at that because it was the end of a bolt.  I walked a few steps to a sale table and out went my hand and grabbed a sweet little stack of fat quarters on sale.  Yep.  Mendocino by Heather Ross.  Goes with my mermaids.  I bought the mermaids at the thrift store. Yep.  The thrift store.  Almost 2 years ago.  2 metres plus for about $3.  Just a little fabric Friday.

  3. I love it when something like that happens, especially when time has passed between buying the different fabrics. You just know that you were destined to make something fabulous!
