My most favorite way to purchase fabrics from the Gypsy is to look around her booth until one fabric stands out at me. Well on Friday this was easy because off in the corner I spied this absolutely gorgeous tulle with 3-D flowers and embroidery. It's Spring as conveyed in fabric. Once settled on that star fabric I began to look for ones to fill the supporting roles. One by one we found the silks in green, aqua and lavender. It was hard trying to find a pattern fabric that wouldn't compete or conflict with the tulle but then the aqua with gold brocade jumped out. And finally Pamela suggested the purple/green fantasy fabric. Add just a touch of lavender braid and a beautiful Spring fabric story is born. Hop on over to Dawn's booth where scraps of velvet scarves, ribbons and buttons can be found and discover this glass leaf button in just the right colors. Top it off with a variety of little buttons and voila' ... the start of a fabulous new project. Of course there are others that are waiting to be finished, so this will go to the back of the line. But just the act of gathering together such a delightful mix of colors has served as a tremendous source of inspiration for my muse.
Yummy fabrics. I bought some of the same tulle flowered fabric last year at EDAC. I bought the blue and the mauve/orange one. They are still waiting for the just right dolls. :-) I love shopping at Pamela's for fabrics.

Wow what a gorgeous pile of fabrics! The ones you chose for the supporting roles are just perfect! I can't see what you make with this lot:)

I love the fabric with the 3d flowers. In fact I like all the fabrics you bought. It's so hard to get good fabric around here !

Frankly, this just makes me want to cry. I feel so deprived! They used to come to the Novi Sewing Expo (Michigan) every year and it was my friends' and my favorite booth. We always snatched up all we could. Then they stopped coming. :-( We went for a couple more years after that but have finally stopped bothering. Without the Gypsy there, there just isn't any motivation to go. Gypsy, will you ever come back to us??!!! Pleeeeeeease?!
