Good morning and happy Wednesday! I literally did the Wallace & Gromit flail when I saw the thumbnail for today's video, because remember last week when I said I got a fabric that I knew you would love? You got some of it, too 😀 It is, of course, the Jungle Queen Cream/Black Tigers. Your reaction was exactly the same as mine - "Oh, a stripey print, that's ni- OMG IT'S TIGERS LOOK AT THEM IT'S TIGERS!!" I'm really happy that it was in your box, too. (All told, we received five of the same fabrics, including this one. I'm a little sorry you didn't also receive the Flora & Fun - Ostrich in colorway Thistle, but perhaps you would not be as enamored of it as I am. It's easily the most absolutely ridiculous bird print I've ever seen and I adore it completely.) It's no surprise that this is a lovely box, since it *is* Sewers Club after all. That Full Moon Lilac Floral is particularly nice (my late mother would have loved it), with the pale purple background and the not-in-your-face floral print. I'm loving the Party Time Blue Fringe, too; it looks kind of like the paper ruffles on a piñata. The Fresh Flowers in Violet is another beauty, and yes it does indeed look good with the Local Honey; it really brings out the magenta of the leaves. And do I even need to say that I love the Banyan Assorted Green? Because I do, very much. When I saw it I thought, "Oh, I got some of that one too!" but alas, I did not. Must have been in Dandelion Stitches' box because I *know* I've seen it recently. Surprisingly, it's only my second-favorite in the box; the Cream/Black Tigers easily comes in first. Speaking of the green, I disagree when you say it has nothing to pair with it in this box. Try it with the Fresh Flowers. Bright green and violet is such a stunning combination & I'm willing to bet a shiny quarter that they'd be amazing together. 50km converts to...31 miles. Egads, no wonder your feet hurt! Yes, please do share a video of your vacation; it will be fun to see all the places you went to & what you did there.
I had to look up the ostrich fabric and I'm a bit jealous. I know I am on a bird ban but that fabric is absolutely fabulous, it's no random tiger but still pretty awesome. If anyone ever wonders if i know what I'm getting, I think my tiger response indicates that I never have any idea. I never thought to try the green with the violet, normally I would but I didn't even consider it. I think maybe because the green is so bright and the violet so soft that the contrast just didn't fit. Who knows. They made it into my sewing room but haven't been put away yet, so I'll pair them and see if I like it. I've subscribed to Dandelion Stitches but haven't really had a chance to watch her videos, now that I have some downtime, I think I'll check a few out. As for walking, my feel a lot better but my phone is confused as to why it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anymore😁
