Remember that old Queen song “Fat Bottomed Girls”? Well today I thought of it. And I’ll tell you why.
As you know, I’ve started quilting. And let me tell you I really love working with fabric again. Today I decided to stop by my favorite quilt shop and pick up some new blades for my rotary cutter. Now, it’s always a bit of a challenge to go into the shop and only get what I went in for. I generally walk out with something I hadn’t planned on, and today was no exception. The quilt shop had just gotten in a “series” of whimsical fabrics – and with a sea-side theme to boot. The theme features “women of a certain age”, viewed from the back in swimsuits. And the swimsuits are fruits. Sounds strange, I know. But I fell in love with them and decided they’d be perfect for a tote. So I bought the fabric and the pattern (and yes, I didn’t forget my blades). I’m now hard at work on my new tote. But it’s going to be a few days before I get it finished and I just have to share this fabric with you. I am leaving the photo large so you can better appreciate it!
