Wanderer's Wife / Parlor / Birthday

My birthday was last week! 

...and since I have been a good girl not purchasing unnecessary fabric so far this year, I allowed myself some new fabric for a specific quilt.

I'd better start from the beginning, right?

I purchased Jen Kingwell's booklet 'Wanderers Wife'. (Former Gypsy Wife) end of November 2019! 

Why I bought it? I got drawn to the design, scrappiness and colors. The booklet has been sitting on the shelf since then, in wait for the 'perfect' fabrics. I wanted something special and a bit outside my comfort zone (I'm bored to tears with my current stash!). Going through my fabric stash, I found most of it rather boring and nothing looked like it would fit this quilt. 

I had almost forgotten about it, when these fabrics - Parlor - (Chrystal Manning) were announced to be 'coming soon'. It was like YAY!!!! These are the fabrics for this quilt! The wait was looong; about 3 months before it was shipped from the warehouse. Even if the colors are (were!) outside my comfort zone, I do love them! They look so yummy! Can you hear my excitement?! lol

There are a few prints still available that I don't have, I'd better get them before they are sold out. I don't think what I have is enough for the quilt.

I see there's a new fabric line; 'Sitara' (Chrystal Manning) that will be available in September. It looks like the design & colors may go together with 'Parlor'.

I'm seeew excited about this one, I'm almost out of breath! 

But first of all; there's at least one UFO I have to complete!
