I may have forgotten to mention that I recently celebrated a birthday. My work friends are not familiar with my Red Pepper Quilts alter ego, nor do they know that I am a fabric addict.
I have also been busy re-stashing some favorites. The fabrics pictured are from the Katie Jump Rope collection by Denyse Schmidt - Basket Weave and Ribbon Flower in Green. I found a yard of each of these more difficult to source fabrics on Etsy.
Happy Stashing!
Lovely additions to the stash! Cannot BELIEVE you kept so quiet about your birthday!! Just wait until Monday x
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and fantastic finds for fabric. They stunning.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday Rita!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some lovely treats to celebrate with.

You work too? What am I doing wrong? You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell Rita...Hippo Birdies Two Ewes!:)
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was great! Looks like your coworkers have great taste......
ReplyDeleteI love your Georgia's quilt. The colors really do all clash wildly together........and looks fabulous.
Happy Birthday Rita! And it is too funny, I am sort of a closeted fabric addict/quilter too. I love my L&N alter ego!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Rita - sounds like your aler-ego has been exposed in one little gasp, LOL! How could your co-workers not know - that just seems too funny - I am sure you eat, sleep, dream fabrics! I must say, Liberties are beckoning me a little!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline♥
Happy Belated Birthday and I love your fabrics. They are beautiful!!! Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Rita. Beautiful fabrics as always.

So glad that you had a happy birthday!! Fabric always makes it better!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely birthday. Funny how we have 2 lives - our "normal" life and our crafty one ....
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! And lucky you -- I LOVE Katie Jump Rope!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Rita!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can do any better than something liberty printed for any occasion, can you?!
now I'm just feeling unorganized. I was imagining you had glorious days to do nothing but sew. You have a job too? Hmmm. I MUST work out my daily schedule better.
ReplyDeleteanyway, happy birthday! I have been trying to stock up on hard to find fabrics too.
How on earth do you keep your quilting a secret and how on earth do you fit all of your quilts around work?
ReplyDeleteI always assumed you didn't have a day job because you churn out such intricate quilts on such a regular basis!
Congrats anyway and happy birthday!
Bree
Rita,
ReplyDeleteMany Happy (Belated) Returns of the Day! And I add my own incredulous astonishment to learn that you have a day job. How have you kept your quilting a secret from co-workers? How have you managed so much creative output in your 'spare time'? Do you sleep? No, wait! Don't answer that question!! It is enough that you stitch (and blog). I am going to forget the part about your day job. The very thought gives me anxiety. But I'm sure you do a splendid job, if your quilting gives any indication of your work(wo)manship.
As ever, your blog continues to delight this reader!
Dear Rita,
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to you! And I must say along with the others, that I am quite astounded that your quilting is done alongside a "day job". I just assumed you did this full time! Thoroughly impressed!
Dear Rita, I have read your blog for some time and am thrilled with your Georgia Quilt! Just inspiring and lovely! Happy Belated Birthday! Your eye for color is a gift all in itself! Pam in chico
