New loves

Hawthorne Threads, one of my favorite online fabric shops, is having a $5 shipping promotion through the end of January, so, of course, I decided I needed to stock up, right? Plus, there are some wonderful new collections out right now that I wanted to snatch up before everyone else did. Part of my order (all fabric pictures courtesy of Hawthorne Threads):

Several fabrics from Laura Gunn's Magnolia Lane collection for Michael Miller (this is Magnolia Branch in Aqua)

Several fabrics from the Etchings collection for Studio E House Designer (this is Packed Vines in Gray); see more below

Spanish Petals in Buttercup from Patricia Bravo's Alhambra II collection, to be paired with this lovely:

Oval Elements in Eggplant from Patricia Bravo's Oval Elements collection (an awesome "basics" collection)

HT also has this great feature where they let people post pictures of projects they've made with a certain fabric so you can see it in action (you can see my wine bags here, as well as several other projects on the site). It's also a great way to find Etsy shops with items you like. Case in point today: A Touch of Stardust. I love what she's done with her fabric combos, and the bags themselves are super cute. I found her site when I added the Etchings in Blue fabric by Studio E House Designer to my cart, which she featured on this bag:

So cute, right?

I can't wait for my goodies to arrive! (Oh, and you should check out Hawthorne Threads before the month's up. The shipping's a great deal, their fabrics prices and selection are always awesome, and they're customer service can't be beat.)
