I am so sad. I dont even know how to tell you what i just went through. As you can see, I just finished two little lap quilts. that really is all they will fit, unless you wanna wrap a baby in them. I was thinking a wheelchair patient, or donating them to hospice. I dont know. Anyway, I went into the fabric store. I had an intention in mind. i want to learn how to make a memory quilt, the kind with the pictures on them. I dont know if you have seen those or not, but that is my next quest. I guess i could try and take a class, but that would just be too easy. So I will teach myself. So i found the printable fabric, read the directions, found out not one person in the store had ever tried this new technique in quilting and crafting. Im gonna learn how. the material is kind of pricey, but if i get it with a coupon, I can afford it much better.
Ok, so now to the really sad stuff. After i found my Inkjet fabric sheets, i started wandering the rows upon rows of brand new soft, 100% cotton beautiful 30% off fabric. the whole fabric department was on sale till the fourth. I kept finding fabric I think I may die without, but i also cant think of a thing to do with it. I cannot think of a project to make. I dont know of anyone i want to make a quilt for that I havent already made one for. I mean really, how many can one person really use. And then i would find this retro fabric that i dream of finding the perfect project for, and no project will come to mind. I found this black and very light pink polka dot along with a very light pink with black polka dot, so soft i just wanted to wrap myself in it. I wanted it sooooo bad. But what to make. Maybe i can buy an apron book and learn to make vintage aprons and make and apron for everyone. I finally left the store with just my one purchase. I havent been this sad over fabric in a long long time. I walked out literally wanting to cry, but i had no real good reason, so i didnt. I moped all around Longs Drugs, bought my auburn hair dye, and moped all the way home. When I got home, John told me I looked so sad. I am. I am going through fabric withdrawls. Someone tell me what to do. Is there another quilter around that can give me hint for a new project that will send me right back to the fabric store. I dont even need a good project, I just want to buy fabric.
Please, I need help. The only twelve step program that will help is if its twelve steps to the fabric store. I think I know what Im going to do with the fabric sheets, and i can use some of the vintage fabric for that. maybe with that in mind, it will help.
Ok, Im done crying here. See ya later and wish me luck learning how to use this printable fabric. I of cource will show you the finished result.
