    I almost bought some of that whale fabric a little while ago and then made myself not do it because…. what would I do with a whale print? (I mean, what am I gonna do with Ric Rac Rabbits? I'd prefer the whales, so it was kind of a dumb choice.) I love that deep blue colour though and there is something strangely sophisticated about it.

    (I'm surprised I was coherent enough last night to tell you where I live because somehow middle-of-the-night logic told me that telling you what time it was when I sent the email was useful. As if 1. I was definitely responding within minutes of you sending the original email and 2. You were sitting around waiting to hear back from me. "Hey, yeah, it's 3 am right now. So I don't know how different that is from you…" arriving three hours later? Kinda useless.)

    Oh my Lordy, I KNEW you would love PoP! Next time, you an' me baby, we will go for a Banana Blossom lunch then shop on a full tummy 🙂

    I love charley Harper.

  4. Oh my goodness, I LOVE that Charley Harper fabric! I recently decided to grab some Salt Water bundles as well. I wasn't thrilled with the line, but figured I would regret not getting it later when it was going for $895 on etsy. Slight exaggeration, of course. But only slight. Lovely stashing, Ms. Sparkles!!

    That cardinal fabric. So genius. I have those tula stripes, but haven't come up with a way to use it until I just saw your post. You know why? Because I never thought about it as a STRIPE. What? I don't even understand what my brain was doing there.

    Sounds like an awesome shop, loving the Hearty Good Wishes by Janet Clare for Moda, I am off to go find me some 😉

    OMG… you crossed the Bridge?
    You deserve a stash of goodies after that digression.

    Totally love this set of fabric, you made some great choices!

    I havent been to Patchwork on Pittwater but because I am a westie, I love Kim Bradley Creations in Castle Hill and Folklore Penrith Patchwork. My mother is a long time quilter and when she was over for Christmas, I took her to Penrith and she was impressed as was my father and husband when they came to collect us – we had been there 2 hours when they came but could have easily stayed longer.

  10. What lovely fabrics you found. I love the cardinals one!

  11. Great finds! I actually love stripes – perhaps a lingering homage to my late seventies childhood and Sesame Street : P I especially love them in borders and as binding.

    Saffron Craig never fails to delight and I really love those whale prints.

    Spooky, i was just picking up some of that Charley Harper yesterday too, except mine was online, and won't be in my hot, sticky little mitts until May *sob*

  14. So jealous of the Charley Harper prints. I've been trying to source a fat quarter bundle of the whole line for what feels like months….. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

  15. Love any choice made from the Charley Harper fabrics, Molli. You're sew going to have to invest in that kayak!

  16. Lots of eye candy shared!!! I too favor the whale prints!

  17. You have eclectic tastes I am on the edge of my seat anticipating what you will make with these lovelies.

    Eeek my Charley Harper stash arrived this week too, ordered in Jan, surface mail to UK from Canada (gift certificate who was I to refuse!). And yes I've come across Saffron, I bought a bundle of Bird Tree back in 2010 and loved it, still have little bits hoarded away! I think I bought it because I had a commission and purple was the colour, nothing else came close!

    Loved discovering those whales here! I'm going to go look them up. I feel the same way about stripes – I'm staying away from them. I'm too fussy about things lining up to want to worry about the orientation of stripes in my quilt blocks…

    I've used the Tula stripes in many a bee block. there are so many shades it works very well. Love Charlie Harper and the whales. Drat this fabric fast!!! Those Tulas and the whale and wood grain would be so nautical and pretty together 🙂

  21. Oh I just love those cardinals!!! More fabric to go on my wish list for when my Fabric Fast is over 🙂
