I blissfully started cutting for the requested size for this duvet cover and didn’t realize how really huge it is. 100 inches by 100 inches was my aim, I ended up damn close, 98 inches by 96 inches. Liz, all I can say is, your house must be bigger than mine because the only way I could take a picture was to hang it on the wall.

I am pretty happy with the pattern. Hopefully the colors work in the the far away bedroom it will be arriving at soon. Goodbye birdies, have fun in Albuquerque!

A hour to myself at the Cloth and Bobbin

I found the info for this darling store online about a month ago. Between family visiting from out of town, putting in new basement windows, teaching at Joann’s and the current show with theatre exile, I haven’t had a minute to myself. I carved out some time yesterday (when I should have been doing something else I am sure) and made the quick trip to Narberth. A lovely town, 6 miles from my home that I never had reason to visit before now. It was so lovely I will now find many reasons to visit for more than an hour.

The reason for my visit was this gorgeous little quilting shop, Cloth and Bobbin that just opened in September with a wide assortment of all my favorite designers. Johanna is a lovely lady who has excellent taste. She also has the sense to send out emails when new fabric comes it. Genius I tell you!

I picked up this Joel Dewberry fabric! Which I had been eying for a while online. But scale is always so hard to tell online. Real life shopping is always better.

I have been educating myself to fabric designers and collections over the last few months and discovered I have been inadvertently favoring a few designers in my fabric shopping. Joel Dewberry has been high on the list, in good company with Amy Butler and Kaffe.
