October 30, 2009 - Favorite Fabric Friday X 2
I missed last Friday somehow. In fact, this whole last week seems like a whirlwind - where does the time go? So, I figure I get to post TWO favorite fabrics today. Both were a bit hard to photograph because of course it is nighttime when I get around to doing this and it seems that none of the lights in my house are very bright. However, if I use the flash on my camera, the fabrics look washed out. Oh well, use your imagination.
This first fabric has been used in nearly all of my scrap quilts in the past two years or so. I LOVE orange, and the hint of green along with these orange blooms on a soft black background really appeal to me. Plus, Halloween is tomorrow, so black and orange just seems like a good choice (although this fabric does not really put me in mind of Halloween).
Fabric # 2 is one I've never used. I picked it up recently in a fat quarter or fat eighth bin somewhere, and I love the soft colors. It will end up in some scrappy creation soon enough.
Fun times tonight after work. My 4 year old is spending the night at his best buddy's house, and my 7 year old has his best friend spending the night here. We carved pumpkins (tiny ones, because they were the only ones left, but the kids didn't seem to mind) 
and made pumpkin pie (no, not from scratch - I don't have that kind of energy). Yum! Happy Halloween, everyone!
