But the reality is that I like wearing solids day to day. They just aren't as exciting to buy! But nice quality solids, like you have there, are like pure gold in the stash!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646506480120500856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-26593837126060424572008-12-17T21:38:00.000-05:002008-12-17T21:38:00.000-05:00Oh, must. . . resist. . . temptation. . .

In fact, the book you got me hooked on (Jackie Kennedy the White House Years) shows how Jackie favored all solids except for a beautiful check like your gorgeous version of the great suit! I also like the way you think of your fabric collection as an investment. Funny but I have often thought the same way about my coat fabric collection. You know, if I'm down and out at least I have the makings of a great warm coat!<BR/>MargueriteMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395228631699632403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-37910076630295376562008-12-17T18:52:00.000-05:002008-12-17T18:52:00.000-05:00Yep, that sale sucked me in too.

I got 4 pieces--turquoise green merino wool jersey, sherpa/pleather, aubergine pile backed with quilted nylon taffeta, and black and white boucle. Hopefully, I'm officially "done" for awhile, since I have a visit to Satin Moon in San Francisco in at the end of January!NancyDaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609215745927535353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4633495191250496232008-12-17T15:05:00.000-05:002008-12-17T15:05:00.000-05:00Just bought that seafoam silk crepe too.

The colour was what we Brits call airforce blue and you call cadet blue. As ever, I look forward to seeing what you do with your purchases but especially that one.

At any rate, there's no reason you shouldn't have purchased what you did - it's beautiful fabric and can be easily be used in many ensembles.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-74015970086051095702008-12-17T12:22:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:22:00.000-05:00I've been known to wrap things I really wanted for...I've been known to wrap things I really wanted for myself. Nothing like a present you really want to make the day complete! Love the fabric sale; thanks for sharing the code. As for prints, I only buy classic florals unless I'm planning to use it immediately; I agree that prints seem dated after a time.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8290117448973441412008-12-17T12:19:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:19:00.000-05:00Unless you are planning on using it right away... ...Unless you are planning on using it right away... (and you did say it was for storage... right?) I would put it under the tree! Why not? Seems to me that any extra persusion to family members that yes indeed even "Santa" knows that you "love" fabric is incentive to them to buy gift cards or what have you towards something you love!<BR/>Besides... it is hard to pass up a sale! I went into Hancock Fabric's last night... just too look! LoL and found that they had their NuFoam on "sale"! So, I was able to get a new mattress for our dog! She needed a Christmas present too!<BR/>Enjoy your acquisition!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49568736018145493232008-12-17T11:33:00.000-05:002008-12-17T11:33:00.000-05:00Fabric is beautiful, the sale at the Mart is the p...Fabric is beautiful, the sale at the Mart is the perfect drug for anyone who has the fabric addiction like me. lol I'm not getting much sewing done either.
