Before.

I hope that I will be able to add a "after" photo to this before shot of my fabric store purchases today. It has been way too long since I have sewn a project and i am getting the itch. My embroidery machine has not worked since June and is finally in the sewing machine hospital to get fixed, it should be released with a clean bill of health next week.
So, in honor of my friend Mindy's birthday I spent the day at the fabric store (oh ya, and I also thought of my father-in-law while I was at the fabric store, it is his birthday too. I am sure he would have loved to be there with me searching through piles of fabric... huh Herb?)
Happy Birthday friends!

I love those fabrics; what great choices. It's funny that you said that you have "the itch" since I just posted about having it yesterday!! Happy sewing!

Do tell. What project is itching, Kristi?

Oh no, what broke the embroidery machine?? I hope that gets fixed soon. I love it when you monogramme things!

Mum threaded up my brand-new, novice's sewing machine a couple of weeks ago but until the dining room is finished being redecorated I can't really set it up for anything. Which is a pain - because I wanted to make little Valentine knick-knack thingies on ribbon :-(
Can't wait to see what you do with those lovely prints!

I didn't realize your machine has been out of commission since last June! How have you been functioning for so long without it? That's just not right.

I love being in fabrics stores. I go in lots of times for specific fabric and then get side tracked by all the colors and patterns. I have actually walked out without purchasing what I initally went in for.

Can't wait to see what you do with all you fun fabrics.
