After the great and timely post last night, from Chrissie @ madebychrissied.blogspot.com about her favorite fabric shop in New York….guess where I went today. As I am in New York for the weekend, you guessed it The City Quilter.
It was everything Chrissie said it will be…here are the new additions to my stash….
Tula Pink Fabrics:
A few dot prints:
And finally a few pre-cut fat quarters:

The fabric shop of focus this week, you guest it, it is Fabricworm. I love the definition of Fabric worm….A person devoted to fabric. You know that means most of us fabric addicts :-).
I have recently started buying fabric from Fabricworm, as they have good specials on a regular basis, in fact one for Memorial Day – 30-60 % of selected fabric. I don’t tend to buy bundles or whole lines, more one off fabric 1/2 yards. They do also they have a great range of Japanese Import fabrics. So, here are the new additions to my stash:
Puti de Pome, So Happy, Hippos, 5 Total, these hippo’s are a linen like fabric and I am planning in using them for pencil cases, felt-tip wraps or bags/totes for kids.
Alexander Henry, Once Upon A Time: Princess Kingdom, and Fair maidens, natural. I paired these two prints with Patty Young, Textured Basics: Shoreline Tangerine, and Shoreline Salmon.
Erin McMorris, Moxie: Buttercup Tangerine, Talk Talk Tangerine, Buttercup Grass, Talk Talk Sky. I am thinking of using the buttercup fabric for the outer pencil cases and the Talk Talk fabric for the inside lining.
Timeless Treasures, Sketch Basics: Orange, Smoke, Citron
Here are some of the miscellaneous fabric 1/2 yards I also purchased:

I am in a fabric buying hiatus this month, while I save my pennies for my trip to New York to attend Lotta Jansdotter’s workshop. Woo-hoo!! Needless to say, I have bought lots of fabric, this year, that I have not shared as of yet. I think I am going to do this by store.
I mentioned last month, that one of my favorite stores is Westwood Acres, an Etsy store that is run by Amanda Woodruff (her blog is A Crazy Fox). The current bundles (they can never be just one bundle right???) I have my eye on are the “Inside voices IV – low volume bundle“, the navy blue bundle and lastly the “Stripes that bind bundle” – these are great collections. Oh well, hopefully they will be around next month (or hint, hint, wink, wink to my husband….my birthday is in 3 weeks).
Here are some of my recent purchases from Westwood Acres:
Now, one by one ;-), here we go:
Color Me Retro Fat Quarter Bundle by Jeni Baker for Art Gallery Fabrics
Architextures Fat Quarter Bundle of 21 by Carolyn Friedlander
A Close-up of the color prints:
You can still get 18 of the 21 in the fat quarter bundle here at Westwood Acres.
Full Moon Lagoon Fat Quarter Bundle by Mo Bedell for Andover
I was so delighted when I saw these prints. For those that don’t know, my BSc and MSc are in Marine Science, so I love the featured echinoderms (sea urchins) and the sea horses in this line. I thought it was a little strange to mix these salt water creature with the flower prints – but the colors in this bundle are amazing, my favorites being the orange and lime greens.
The echinoderms:
Field Study by Anna Maria Horner Linens
I ordered separate 1/2 yards for each of the feather and butterfly prints, as they were my favorite pieces of the line. I am thinking of using this line in making some bags/pouches.
Finally the other two big bundle purchases were:
