So, I'm not at Market this year. This is the first one I've missed in three years, and I guess I didn't realize how much I'd actually MISS it. I so desperately want to be there. Mom called me earlier today and said "there's someone who wants to talk to you." After a couple minutes, Anna Maria Horner came on the phone and asked why I wasn't there! (God, I sound like a groupie) I'm glad people remember me. Ironically enough, one of her new patterns came in an order later in the day. I've been lusting after it since last Market, so I bought it right away. Not that I have time to sew it. We also got this new book, which I borrowed for the night (the threadwork one, not Seams to Me).

Here are my newly re-arranged fabric shelves. Don't be deceived, this isn't all of it! There are more reds and multis in the laundry room, waiting to be washed, and 5 or 6 bins of fabric that I would consider project-specific. Oh, and the couple of yards upstairs waiting to be washed. Oh, and then there's three shelves of minkee, flannel, felt, and knits. I have a problem. I've uttered those words oh, so often recently. But look how pretty it looks on the shelves!
Lastly, some embroidery. I'm working on this as a shop/class sample. It's done on a "produce sack" which we sell at the shop. It also uses one of the new Stitcher's Revolution embroidery transfers.
Check out the cute fabric it's sitting on! I'm so in love with it right now. It's called from Aldo to Zippy by P&B Textiles (the color is a little off, I tried adjusting it).
