This happy bundle, totally fits the bill, don’t you think? I’ve been such a fan of Lizzy House’s Pearl Bracelet design ever since the first teal piece I bought a couple of years ago. And to know it was being printed in every color of the rainbow?? Dreamy. I got this fat quarter bundle from Westwood Acres. So pretty. And cheerful! I know I’m going to need a few of those colors in bigger pieces of yardage before it’s all gone.
Another recent acquisition from Westwood Acres is this fat quarter bundle of Allison Glass’s Bike Path print in her Lucky Penny collection. Such pretty colors and a great blender fabric. I’m getting up the courage to actually open the bundle.
Another perk, is occaisional pretty/coolness like these giant snowflake/crystals that covered everything last Friday. I grabbed my camera and tried, with mostly mediocre results, to capture some of the magic. But I got lucky with a few shots. Here’s a little sample of the big, perfect snowflakes that covered everything!
Hope you’re staying snuggly warm (if you’re in the Norther Hemisphere that is) and finding your own silver-lining to this blah time of year.

Great fabrics Amy and don't worry, your winter will soon be over and then you'll be hot all the time during summer.

It's funny, the rest of the UK is covered in snow (to the extent that both my parents, who were travelling home from working away in different places yesterday, got stuck on the motorways because lorries were playing silly buggers and getting stuck on the hills. My dad got home at 3 am, and my mum at 4 am, although she was definitely worse off as she'd just left Barcelona at 22C before

Your new fabric would brighten my world Amy!! Great photos. It's been miserable cold here and our road trip south to warm weather looks like it is going to be delayed by an ice storm.

I'm with you – I do love the winter for the no-guilt sewing time. Not that it stops me in the summer, but this way, I don't have to worry about yard work. Just some shoveling of snow every now and again.<br /><br />Lovely fabrics. I like playing with bright colors in the winter. Bring my own sunshine into the sewing room!

I think stamped is saying hi to the American Jane who lives inside you…

Good thing you took those photos before the fog hit this weekend! This smog is going to kill us! Or depress us. Good thing we have sewing and fabric to keep us happy in Utah!

Beautiful photos! I must get some of that Lucky Penny bike path before it's all gone!

Would be really hard for me to use any of those pretty fabrics. Just wanna drool over them for a while. So ready for winter to be over, but I guess spring is just around the corner!

Amy, now you have become a fabric enabler. I just might have to pick up a few of those prints. I did already buy the 1/2 yard stack of the Pearl Bracelets. Aren't they yummy?

I keep going back to look at the Stamped collection too! That bag Anna did was gorgeous! I might have to go get some finally. 😉

I love this post. Especially because I love color and your amazing shots of those snowflakes.
