SEW MY NAME

With 4 kids spilling foods and drinks almost everywhere, I was planning to sew another set of dining chair covers for everyday use. So I went through my years of collection of fabrics and found a lovely red cotton/linen fabric from Japan.This was bought more than 10 years ago and I love the print so much that I bought them in large quantity in red and green. Most were sewn for the windows in my old apartment and I am left with 2.5m of red print only.

Now I have to decide to choose between the blue and green combination. I will have to wait for another day or two until I finalized my choice before starting on this project.

Rummaging through my fabric collection I must confess, borrowing words from blogger Anna, that I am an official member of Fabricoholics Anonymous. I have a total of 1 unused luggage bag and 3 A4 printing papers boxes of cotton fabrics! I must also confess that I am guilty for I have UnFinished Objects(UFOs) and Work In Progress (WIPs) to be completed. He..he… I’m not the only one ok, but it is a problem among us quilters- we have too much fabric and too little time.

Buying fabrics is addictive but luckily I am staying in the Far East(we have only 1 Spotlight store here),which unlike in America and Australia they have lots and lots of quilting and patchwork fabric stores. Here we don’t have any quilt/patchwork shows and festivals and I can’t even find a group to join. It’s a rather lonely world for quilters here.

And I am trying hard to stay away from Spotlight store, I guess I might as well put that in my New Year resolution, along with completing the UFOs and the WIPs.
