    I've been sharking Comma because of you

  5. The Sea Debris print in blue is my favorite Tula print – ever. Nice stashing!

    Molli, we all knew you would take the world by glitter-storm! Kudos to the one who leaked your fabulousness!
    It's taken me a while to like Saltwater, don't love it, but it's growing on me. Looking forward to seeing what you have cooked up for us in 2014!

    There's nothing wrong with holding onto a few precious fabrics for a little while until you find the perfect project – just as long as they don't show up unused and forlorn in twenty years. Notting Hill is a gorgeous line, and I love the coral print you picked up from Salt Water.

    You know Sunday Stash is going to explode under your tutelage, right? We all want to play in Molli's Sparkl-y sandbox! 🙂 I love Notting Hill too…need to get off my keister and order some… 🙂 Happy, Sparkly New Year! I think 2014 is going to be FAB!

    It's interesting to see each person's loves of fabric and congrats on being in a paper all the way in California, how cool!

    You're famous! Or should that be infamous…can never keep those two straight. 😉

    Wow I look forward to the conversation on the true costs continuing. I have some Notting Hill in my stash from a win somewhere, I shall have to get it out again and see if it inspires me, I was never that taken with it…

  12. Although I love other Joel Dewberry lines, I think Notting Hill is rather Scandinavian and not to my taste. The aqua / chartreuse colour scheme is rather nice though.

    Never, ever hang your head in shame for fabric hoarding! It's just waiting for its moment to shine. It will come. Until then, just take it out and pet it occasionally.

    Totally you. Have you seems Mary Fons' quiltcon lecture on craftsy? At one point she mentions how the average non-quilter can't really afford a quilt (it's prohibitively expensive), unless someone who loves them quilts, in which case it'd be free. Interesting how come people can so nonchalantly accept the worth and value of the art, while others expect those costs to be externalized by the makers.

    I'm with you on Saltwater. There are some pieces I like, but it's not my thing overall. It was funny when my aunt started talking to me about the value of my quilting, and about this article she'd read…. Too bad she's not a hoarder, or I'd be able to scan and send it to you.

    Regarding fabric hoarding, I've learned that I really need to make things out of the fabric I buy relatively soon after I make my purchase. Otherwise, I look at fabric purchased a few years earlier, and find myself wondering what I was thinking. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Oh wow! Did you know I live in Santa Cruz [California]??? I don't get the paper, though, but I can ask my friends if they have it. 😀

  17. Rebecca Bird says:

    You're pretty Sparkly it's no surprise really you made it all the way to Santa Cruz ;)….Octopus won't hurt you be brave but a pin will stab the bejesus outta ya!

  18. Sooli says:

    You know I love Notting Hill. The right project will come along, after all fabric doesn't have a use by date. Who knows, if you leave it alone in the dark for long enough it might just breed and make more fabric!

  19. Jan Barnett says:

    Press coverage! You love it, I love it, we all love it! Now find that newspaper quick while the glitters still wet!

  20. Well la-di-da Ms Sparkles, look at you all pressed and ready to take over the world one glitter bomb at a time.

  21. Kelly says:

    Pretty Sunday stash and you so need to hunt down that article 🙂

  22. Congrats on being in print. These are all fantabulous! Sparkle on!!

  23. pandchintz says:

    I fell into hyperventilation when I first saw notting hill and have been "collecting" too! 'Cept I have NO idea what to do with it…….can't wait to,see what you have in mind

  24. jeifner says:

    I love all the blue color way of Saltwater. Lerv it. And those chevron-y stripes and the tortoise shell. Looking forwards to more Sunday Stash and Sparkle. I've been keeping some things back to help my fabric fast for the next 6 months. I'm hoping that as I blog about them it'll feel like they are new purchases. hurumph 🙂

  25. kelly o! says:

    I am fashionably late to this party…just want to pop over and say: the Saltwater tortoise shell print isn't just for blending…it also makes a fan-freaking-tastic binding.

    Your idea that you don't have to love everything to love some things is spot on!

Spill the truth tea.
