New fabric...
« on: September 15, 2018, 12:21:03 AM »
Happy belated birthday to me!

Couldn't help myself, and while I didn't get a huge bargain, the local shop was having a 20% off customer appreciation sale. What can I say, I did buy a little new fabric.
 The white on the bottom doesn't go with the rest, but I had to have it; it's cowboy boots.
 And, how could I resist hubby coming in and saying, "I didn't get you anything for your birthday, so I'll buy that for you".
 I have more browns in my stash that should coordinate.

Hooray for you! Belated birthday greetings!  Hope your day was wonderful!

I'd love to see more of that horse panel fabric.  I'm coming up with an idea.....

How big are the panels?  Are they big enough to make separate pillows?  I could use some, and those look beautiful!

I think they are only about 10" square.  And, I only have the one piece, which is like 8 squares.  And, I'm not too sure if this batch will be available, this might be for me.   :o  Haven't gotten that far with the idea, yet.   There is a different iron in the fire first; and I was experimenting, and sewed the colors wrong, so have to start over.  Darn it.

I understand, as it was your birthday present from Hubby.  But if you ever come across more, let me know!

Thinking this is going to be my current project.
I have 3-4 shades of brown fabric, two shades of turquoise, and a golden color for my stars.

New fabric that just arrived today.  This is store stock, so more available than the piece that was b-day gift.
Cute farm animal panel print.

I have a few other fairly new arrivals, too, but haven't gotten them ready for listing,  yet, so no pictures.

Trying out a border idea, the two side borders would like the one pictured, one with the "arrow" up, and one down like pictured; the bottom borders would not have the "arrows".  Trying to decide if it's a bit dark or plain, but I'm not sure.

I might get another picture today.  Center is sewn together, now, just need to decide direction for borders and corner pieces.
