fabric to stash away

I taught a modern quilting class the other night at my friend Julie’s shop – Make. We were talking about fabric obsessions and lo and behold, she has been hoarding some yardage of one of my most favorite prints EVER.

That’s right! The elusive Paint by Number Birds from Erin Michael’s Uptown collection. I don’t know how Julie can bear to part with it, but she is selling most of her yardage on Etsy. She kindly gave me a generous piece to have for my very own! I’m thrilled to have some of this fabric. It deserves to star in a super special quilt, and I can’t wait to come up with something creative to show it off. What a score. I did tell Julie that I’d break into her store and steal it if she didn’t give me some. Maybe that’s why she was so generous.
