I can't believe you showed everybody your stash...and fat quarters.
You mean one little corner of my "stash"???? I have two rooms of stash -- not counting the boxes in bookcases down the hallway -- all color coded of course. *nods*

I actually know what a fat quarter is. That bothers me for some reason.

One-fourth yard cut of fabric that usually measures 18" x 22" instead of the typical 9" x 42" quarter-yard cut.
It is cut that way for quilters to make better use of all the fabric. Less waste.
Now they're making fat eights as well, but don't tell Bluebie. It'll make his head hurt.

Its scary how much of that fabric I had a hand in picking out. Petey would be so proud of me.
Only a select group of women will allow you to use the term around them...without it getting you slugged.
Tort was taken on his first quilt shop excursion in Hawaii. He may need your support.

Had I been working with cotton, these straps would have been wider -- with the same measurements that I cut this linen. I didn't take into account how the thickness would affect it and also had to allow for extra to tuck in and sew down to prevent ravelling. Therefore, ended up with 1" straps instead of 2". They are nice and thick though. They didn't need any padding, and they're sewn 6 times on each I think. They're not going anywhere.
But since I cut them out that size, I had to use them. This fabric was too expensive to waste. Oh well.
*makes note* wider straps.

Actually when I read Bluebie's post about knowing what a fat quarter is, I flashed to his *very pained* face pacing & smoking outside a quilt shop in Austin. Pacing. Waiting for me. (no pressure....right)
*laughs*
Now it's really just better if I drop him off to do his music stuff and THEN I go explore fabric shops. There are some really neat ones in Austin.

Well you were a pretty good sport about me going into orgasmic frenzy at the quilt show when we found the Australian and African fabrics.....on sale. OMG. That was FUN!

Your studio looks so amazingly neat, are you a quilter or something?
I can't even take pictures in mine.
The bag/purse is very nice! I love the purseket thing inside, is it removable? A zipper ed or velcro pocket inside would be a good addition.
Maybe it needs some umphf! maybe a bit of trim around the top, pulling out one the colors in the print, or piping? Its nice but it doesn't pull me in and say "buy me, take me home, love me" Up here it would be fine, but in Texas I think it needs a stronger statement or something.
