Ooooogling Fabrics .... and Deal making!!

So, here's my issue ... I have found 5 fabric lines that I *REALLY* want - and a quilt kit (that kit means a whole new post one day - so forget I even wrote that wee bit!!)  that I *really*  want - but, I can't really justify any of that - so, I'm going to make a deal with myself - my blog :) I'm going to *TRY* and follow this - I think it's possible ...........

How about you tell me if I'm out to lunch or not for publicly "stating" this post! -- I think I might regret this - specially after reading this over .... ick!

In order for my to buy ....

Eiffel Tower Penelope Six -- I need to scrapbook the photos from our Vegas Vacation - using up a whimsy themed set of papers - since we stayed at "Paris" - sounds like a good motivation.

This fabric is beautiful looking - I think I can play up the brighter pinks, whites and blacks to add solids to this - and it's "young" enough looking that it should make a perfect Christmas present quilt for someone VERY special in my life - she needs a lap blanket - since she already had a lovely quilt.

Temp Lime - Well, to get this fabric .... I need make something out of the fabric I "Stole" from my mom - so a lovely pink/blue/purple table runner for my kitchen table - since this fabric is from her - I will use this NEW fabric to make mom a new blankie for the house. She LOVES lime green - and this will match her house perfectly.



Now this fabric - Lil' Miss Sew &  Sew - I seldom find a "real life" graphic that I like in fabrics. I normally like the abstract look. But, there's something about this that I just LOVE!!

So, to buy this - I need to make my "Sewing Machine" scrapbook album - it's a chipboard . about 8inch sewing machine - looks amazing! But, it needs to be covered and decorated - so if I can get that finished, I'll be buying this fabric.

This will be used to make some pretty art work for my scrapbooking/quilting room. Also, I really want to make some pretty pin cushions out of this. I have big "plans" for this set!!
 
Onto Basic Grey - Designer Select - Yeah - so I need more Christmas Fabric like I need a hole in the head! BUT!! It's Basic Grey - one of my FAVS for fabric - and it's so pretty!! So, I must have it right?!?!

This fabric will be the mega reward for making Christmas Cards in JULY! Yes - I want to participate in the whole "Christmas in July" scene and make a whole shwack of cards for Christmas. As much as I loved the ones I bought last year - I want to have about 10 that are hand-made and are for the special people in my life. If I take the time to send something in the mail - should I not spend the time ti make a card? Yeah - I should! Specially with this as motivation


For those who know me ... I used to ONLY use flannel in my quilting - only! I didn't really touch "cotton" till the past 2 years. I've gone so far as to "not allow" myself any more flannel until I've used up what I have (kinda hard when my friends aren't having babies - so I think I'll just make some baby quilts for "just in case) Anyways!!
I found this ... Winter Warmth Flannel .... and let me tell you, I'm in love!! such beautiful colors. This fabric - I think - will be MY sucky blanket - something 100% just for Dee!!! Cause, I don't think I could physically part with this stuff ...
Now, to make this .... UMM!!! I think if I can get through making the quilt blocks in Christmas fabric each month - I should be able to buy this stuff and make a quilt over Christmas this year. Right?!?!

Okay, so those are my top 5 fabric sets that I've really looked into this year - I'm going to *TRY* and stick to this - if I want "new" fabric - that's not related to doing my Quilting Bee - I'm going to have to EARN it ... No more randomly buying - I'm going to patiently wait until these come out - who cares which store btw - just whenever! And then give myself 1 week to try and get one of the tasks completed. (yeah, I know it might not be possible, but I'll sure the heck try!!)

Thanks for ooooglinggg the fabrics!!
