This fantastic book now resides on my bookshelf. I loved volume 2 so much that when I saw this one at a heavily reduced price there was no question of leaving it in the shop!
These are my new favourite stitching scissors. They were very inexpensive but I love them because they're PINK! The fabric in the background will be used for ....
this new project. Not sure when I'll get to start this one ... have nearly collected all the bits and pieces I'll need.
Regular readers will know I love redwork and red and white fabrics, so it should be no surprise that Rouenneries is rapidly becoming my new favourite range.
Another 'couldn't resist' item was this scissor fabric.
A while ago I purchased a jelly roll of Baskets of Flowers by Mary Engelbreit. I should be able to make a decent sized quilt now I have these from the same range.
Your new scissors are so pretty. I'll be starting Tail Feathers early next year - I've been collecting a stack of Patisserie fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you lovely new scissors came via your trip to Pauline at Calico Crossroads, I yaked so much I forgot to pick them up :(

I heart your scissors. What a great update to a classic design. I'll look forward to seeing what you make with all the red toned fabrics.
ReplyDeleteAll of your fabric looks so good ! I don't blame you for bringing that book home either .
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful stash haul!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric line is a big favourite with me also and every stitcher should have a pair of stork scissors.
I shall look forward to seeing some wonderful finished projects from the new book and fabrics.
