Authentic is my all time fave line and I still have some I have not cut into and touch it from time to time:) I want that special project that will last and last (for me) to make with it. I must say I have not bought any fabric since I heard this line is coming out and I'm so excited. You'd think it was a grandchild or something!

Sure, I have felt disappointed to miss out on a print, but have realized in the short period of time that I have been sewing, that there will always be something similar that comes along. Just like with fashion. :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512285222993565838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-61897982418126722652012-04-06T22:12:25.461+01:002012-04-06T22:12:25.461+01:00I know how you feel!

For me, the fabric is a huge part of the creative process and often a project is inspired by the beauty of a print. <br /><br />I'm also hoarding fabric, but I have found that having a reasonably big stash enhances my projects and working from my stash gets my creative juices flowing and hopefully every so often makes for more "me" looking projects. So as long as buying fabric is not hurting your finances or your relationships or stopping you from inviting people over, why not hoard a bit?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357425823614528495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-26327107152817543192012-04-04T09:55:27.234+01:002012-04-04T09:55:27.234+01:00Oh no, that's how I feel about Sweetwater'...Oh no, that's how I feel about Sweetwater's Pure!

Totally different, right? To be honest, I feel anxious enough sometimes, but quilting (and fabric) keeps me sane. I just zone out and I'm off in another world - one that makes sense.
