I've been feeling so disappointed about the fabrics at my local Joann's that I'm kind of giving up on it. We have two Joann's here in town and neither one has fabrics worth buying. I'm thinking that it may be part of the economy problem here in the US, moreover here in Michigan where the automobile industry is collapsing.
So I started looking for fabrics on line and look what I found: some beautiful American Jane Patterns from Moda at the Fat Quarter world.
I feel like making a quilt with them that embraces the beauty of its old fashion illustrations.
I also got this same fabric in pink and couple of fabrics to match. Now those scissor are making me crave that scissors fabric of Moda by Mo Mo...and them I'll want something else like some gigham to go with it; it's like a chain reaction.
How can you not want to quilt with these beauties!!! They are crave-worthy!

Cute fabrics! I ordered the Snippets charmpack but have not seen it yet. It's always a bit of a gamble ordering online isn't it? You never quite know how the fabric will feel like or how the colours will be. I order everything online. Except the stuff I buy at Ikea.

These are so cute. They are so vintage looking. I haven't heard of fat quarter world but think I will check it out as soon as I have some time. Online fabric shopping makes me lose track of time. I can spend hours looking at fabric... :)
