Because he brought me these!
My excitement upon having these on my doorstep when I got home yesterday was over the top! This rather large-ish box from Fat Quarter Shop was pretty heavy because it contained all of the backing fabrics that I purchased on Black Friday. Take a gander at this pile of lovelies.
All told there is 24.25 years of fabric that I paid a whopping $96.30 for. Now that is my kind of shopping! With the exception of the Veranda yardage (that quilt isn't even started yet), all of the others are backings for the UFOs that I'm going to actually quilt myself (a first for me). I really am anxious to get working on it but they will likely have to wait until after the holidays are over. There is way too much going on during the coming weeks.
While that 1st box was fun to open, the 2nd box was the one I was holding my breath for. This one is from Julie at The Intrepid Thread. Inside were two beautifully wrapped bundles (sorry forgot to take a picture in all my excitement). Just look at these to-die-for gorgeous fabrics!
My cherished Bella by Amanda Murphy! Seeing the images of this line online was exciting; seeing this fabric in person is so much better. It is nothing short of spectacular. I love each and every print equally. There are a few designers that I do love...Kate Spain, Deb Strain, Sandy Gervais to name just a few, but typically I don't love every single fabric in every one of their lines. But with Amanda's lines that isn't the case. I always want all of it. Her designs are absolutely terrific and the colors are so perfect. There isn't one fabric in her lines that I wouldn't buy.
Now I totally understand when other quilters say they pet caress their beloved fabrics. I find myself doing that now with this fabric. The feel is so luxurious and wonderful.

Oh WOW! Two huge Fat Quarter Shop Boxes. All Christmases have come at once! I'm still waiting for my Black Friday purchases from there (I'm Australian) and they will be smaller (international shipping etc) but I'm so excited. Also from Southern Fabric. Can't wait!! Merry Christmas to me! Once it only took 8 working days for my package to arrive from the FQS. Amazing! I love looking at fabric ranges and patting them too.
