Sew What Do YOU Want?

Gosh, with that post title, I wouldn't blame you for thinking I want to talk about you, right? But no, it's about me. Again. But you'll get your turn. Just sit quietly, try not to drool too much, and wait for it.

The other day middle of the night, I was looking at a few of my favorite blogs, and everyone seemed to be talking about Lori Holt's new line, Sew Cherry. Why didn't anyone tell me earlier? Were you afraid if I knew, I'd BUY it ALL? Sheesh!

I bought some. A fat quarter bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop in the marischino cherry color grouping. It was very, very hard to decide between that and the other blue/brown color group. I also spied some really cute Quilt Soup/Barbara Jones fabric from the Cherry Fizz line--turns out they go perfectly together!

Now here's the "you" part. Well, not QUITE yet, but we're close. First, moi. Despite having more fabric from Christmases past than Ebenezer Scrooge had ghosts, I still broke down and bought a little. Just a teeny, tiny bit. I've loved the last two Basic Grey Christmas lines, so two charm packs were needed--just to get a little taste. (Do you love their washed grunge solid colors as much as I do?) Then, of course, Sweetwater's Countdown to Christmas. Just a few 10" squares. Hardly anything, right?

Now it's your turn. As we're starting to see the 2011 Christmas lines, I'm wondering what you're excited about this year? Seriously, I always enjoy finding out what everyone else is drawn to, so I'd like to hear from you. Not to mention (why do people SAY that when they DO mention?) the fact that you might have found something I NEED but haven't yet found, so it's a good way to get tips on undiscovered treasures. Have you looked yet?

Before you go flying off, I wanted to show you why it's sometimes hard for me to type my post each evening.

Quite often, Stitch curls up and sleeps either pressed up against my left arm or with his head on my left hand. Isn't he a cutie? He's a real cuddle bug! And yes, that's my left arm he's sleeping on--the camera flash reflected off my pale winter skin, so it's hard to tell. I guess it's time for bed. Stitch says so.
