Shot Cottons

Shot cottons

I am always thrilled when I receive an expected arrival of fabrics from the USA!

Parcel from USA

 And always happy and enthusiastic to start a new project!

Shot cottons

I am not sure yet for the pattern, but being in a blue mood I feel like trying variegated hues of blue,
which is a color I don't tend to put often in my quilts. I may mix them with warm tunes with spice
names like saffron, paprika, mustard...

Blue shot cotton

I was lucky, I found two jackpots, which means some more yardage for the same price!
I was unlucky, I had to pay tax!

Happy sewing to everybody!

  4. Christine, just found your blog and started following you. I live in the states, but married a Greek. I spend many weeks a year in Greece (Naplion) I also dabble in watercolor painting. Looking forward to seeing what you're up to.

  6. Lovely, very nice surprise with the extra fabric. I have some shot cottons I've earmarked for at least 3 projects. They are gorgeous fabics!
