New Addiction: The Fat Quarter Shop

So as most of you know...I have an addiction.

That addiction is fabric. In fact, I used to laugh when people said that they loved just to feel fabric. I would think "That's CRAZY!" But now...I completely get it!

I was reading a blog the other day and they were having a giveaway from The Fat Quarter Shop. Well, I started to browse and much to my surprise they had a lot of fabric that I liked. Still some of it was a bit out my price range, but who doesn't like to dream. Anyway, some of my favorite pieces are:

The Orange Mr. Monopoly fabric

(which comes in many different colors! Yay!)

The Brambleberry Ridge Turquoise Knots and Loops 

(So pretty)

30's playtime Betty's Pink Cherries

(I have seen this is on a blog where the lady made hankies out of it. Again, super cute!)

Hope you enjoyed feeding the addiction. What are some of your favorite pieces??

Needle Storage

While attending an "I love to sew" club meeting I was introduced to another awesome idea for storage. A lady had taken a bead box and put her packets of needles into the individual compartments and labeled the compartments according to which needle was in which compartment.

Then using binder clips she put them on the needles she was currently using so that she could tell them apart and not use all her new ones.

I thought that it was a brilliant idea so I whipped one up myself using an old pony bead box. Works like a charm!
