I like ombre fabrics. I wanted to make some throw pillows and found this fabric. I think it will be fun to use.
Sometimes I like buying kits. Whether I like the pattern, or just the fabric, especially when it was on sale. I like how Bluprint packages their kits in these drawstring plastic bags.
I like Blog hops for inspiration but it is fun when you win something too. I won the give away at Selina quilts. I was asked what colors I would like. I said red or aqua.
I saw this article about a Native American Fashion Designer, her models are also Native.

Currently I am reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
The other book I am reading is Meet Me in Scotland. The book is part of the kits and quilts series.
We have a snow storm and I have a day off so I like days that I don't have to go anywhere if I don't want to go.
Now head over to LeeAnna's and check out the other I Like Thursday posts.
Like your ombre fabric and your win was fun too. You have a snowstorm and we are getting rain. Weird weather this year.not complaining but here it feels like the south and not like New England at all.
ReplyDeleteHi Colette! Congrats on winning - such cute pouches, key fobs and fat quarters. I love ombre fabrics as well! I've picked up a few . . . and then haven't used them. I seem to be saving them for something special. Beautiful Bonnie and Camille fabrics, too - that looks like a fun kit to put together. Thanks as always for the book suggestions. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWOW 13 yds is a lot!! nice buy hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI have also bought kits, but not made the intended pattern! It's really nice when the kit is on sale for a good price. Congratulations on your fun win! I loved Where the Crawdads Sing - glad you are liking it, too!

ReplyDeleteWow....really love your new kit.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes buy a quilt kit when on sale just to get the fabrics; that one you got is a great deal for such pretty ones, remind me of spring. Neat winnings too.

ReplyDeleteI was very tempted by that same kit! It’s so pretty! Congratulations on your blog hop win!

ReplyDeleteI think I used a similar ombré fabric for a backing one time. Very pretty. Those winning prizes are so nice. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteSo that's what ombre is. I like your fabric. By happenchance I painted a few of our light switchplates that now have that ombre look.
ReplyDeleteI like the red fat quarter. So much pop going on. Have fun with your new toys. :-)
