Tomorrow is our April class where we applique modern house blocks over at A Verb for Keeping Warm in Oakland.This house is a beautiful one, and another in the BOM series that our class is working on. If you have the time and live locally, come and join us...this block will be a piece of cake.
I spent this week in Austin, Texas. If you haven't had the chance to visit there, I would highly recommend it. I could really see myself living there. It is quite hip.
One of my Texan girlfriends turned me on to these beaded wrap bracelets that are popular there. I broke down and bought one, and after realizing how expensive they are online I guess I should have bought 2 when I had the chance. Oh well...Chan Luu makes a bunch of them that are beautiful but on the pricey side.
Another beautiful link for you is over on "oh, hello friend" - check out this post on twinkle lights. So pretty. Not only would I love to do a photo study like this to take amazing pictures of them, but I would also like to think about how to get some of them up in my back yard!
I can't wait to see this month's block! I missed being in class with you guys today. Did Kristine finish hers? I told her that she had to since I wasn't going to be there.
ReplyDeleteA week or so ago I was in the fabric wholesale district of Tokyo where there are lots of stores. I asked several owners about Japanese taupes but that term seems to only be known in foreign countries. One shopkeeper said, "all our fabrics are Japanese. Pick out anything you like".
