The thing is, this fabric line, Charisma by Moda, is just right for a new quilt to hang in our living room. The colors are perfect, and the designs sing to me.
I have been trying for a couple of weeks now to resist ordering it. But everywhere I turn, there it is. It's like I'm supposed to have this fabric. I can't get away from it. And then there's the "If I don't get it now, it might be gone later" argument.
I hope all of you had a very good Thanksgiving. Paul and Karen (our neighbors) invited us to join them and their family last night for a holiday feast. Phillip and I went, but Vann is still recovering from his surgery, so we brought him a platter home. He has had a pretty tough few days with pain and soreness from the incisions, but he reports that he's feeling better this morning.
Phillip will be leaving us this afternoon to fly back to Laramie. We hate to see him go. But he and his wife Carrie, and our daughter Amy will be back in mid-December to stay through the holidays.
I hope all of you know how very much we're appreciating the prayers and good wishes that are being offered for Vann's return to good health. Please keep them coming. We know God hears and answers.

I had to have this fabric too! When we were on our quilting retreat a few weeks ago, we went on a "field trip" to a shop called In Between Stitches that had a quilt made up using Charisma. It had to have been the sweetest thing I had ever seen! The best part is, the quilt was made using a layer cake! The pattern they used is called Spice Cake, and lends itself perfectly to the fabric, which is too pretty to cut up into little bitty pieces. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Go for it!! Lifes to short to procrastinate over a little fabric!! My hubby is in the middle of a health scare at the moment and as Im sure you know it makes you think about mortality and how fragile we all are! So if you want that fabric....buy it, buy lots of it!!! Cathy

I am going to have to have a talk with HoP for not sending me a catalog! This is delightful fabric and I agree, you NEED to have it!
xoxo to Vann.

Oh my I had no idea about Vann, I hope he is still recovering at a wonderful pace. I'm sure he is with all the love you have to give.
