Meg is also blogging at Mood Sewceity Blog, so follow the adventures of Swatch the Dog, hear about new fabrics that are in the stores and online at their online site and meet some of the wonderful and incredibly helpful staff. Seriously this ain't propaganda, remember this outfit? It wouldn't have been so wonderful if Jeremy hadn't taken so much time and helped me get "the perfect fabrics" for the Christening Gown.
I also want to encourage you to get a Mood's Reward Card. I love any fabric store or site that rewards me for doing something I do naturally ~ buy fabric! *LOL* So if you're a local to either store, get a card! I've already put a dent in mine!
I've got some photos to share from my Mood Lunch:
standing in the aisle at Moods
And what followed me home:
On the left a cotton print
On the right black silk satin
...as always, more later!
Lucky you to have lunch with Elizabeth and to meet up with Meg! I saw Meg's news on her blog and immediately signed up for the Mood blog. I am enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm looking for a print like that. Wonder if it's on their website? Going now to look!
ReplyDeleteHow cool Carolyn!Looks like you ladies had a great time.
ReplyDeletePretty fabrics! Isn't it funny how new fabrics seem to start the sewing mojo? Even if we aren't sewing with them at least we are sewing something!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fun day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable moment...look like your smile is saying, "YES, I am about to bust a move real soon"!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time!!! I saw Meg's update and immediatly setup an RSS for Moods blog. I will be in NY next month with PR. Coming in a day early just so I can camp out at Moods. So Excited!!!
ReplyDeleteThat cotton print is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to mood with the PR group next month, bring your card and I can add to your dent.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to spend time with people that love to shop for fabrics and sew! I noticed you both were wearing coats. It has been hot here in the Houston area for a month, in the mid to upper 80's!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could get to Mood without catching an airplane!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy one and only visit was one of the most pleasurable shopping experiences ever..... and seeing you, Meg and Elizabeth would be an added bonus!

A fabric store, a sewing buddy, a purchase, ahhhhhh.
ReplyDeleteI also signed up for Meg's updates as a result of your post. It must be so exciting to live so close to NYC and work there! Those rolls of fabric you're standing next to look like then need a hug!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I'm sure you are aware of the fact that in order to add your blog to blog list one must mispell the word fanatic and put your site in as "fantaticdiary.blogspot.com"
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this in response to one of your commenters not being able to follow your blog. I had the same problem when I started following you and was dissappointed until I went back and looked at how the spelling actually was. I'm not criticizing, so don't be upset with me.
oh what a pretty floral fabric.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to visit Mood, too :)
