My husband and I go back and forth year to year, sometimes we buy Christmas gifts for each other and sometimes we decide not to. This year there were a few things that he actually wanted (not to mention his birthday is January 3!), but I told him that he didn't have to buy me anything - that I would be happier if I could just splurge on a bundle of fabric that maybe I otherwise wouldn't buy for myself.
Enter Joel Dewberry Notting Hill, which arrived in my mailbox yesterday.....
I think I'm in love people. It's even more beautiful in person. This is the teal/yellow colourway and the magenta/orange colourway. And what is it going to become? My plan is to finally make Supernova, from "Quilting Modern" by Jacquie Gering and Katie Pedersen. I don't quite know what it is about this quilt that I love so much, though I suspect a large part of it is the amazing machine quilting, which was done by Angela Walters. I hope I can do the quilt justice with these lovely fabrics. I'm not ready to start yet but it's nice to have something new and beautiful to look forward to making.

That line was irresistable to me as well! I bought a roll of the entire collection!
What a fun present for yourself! Those will look fabulous as a supernova quilt! :)
This will make an awesome supernova!
I love supernova too, look forward to seeing it in Notting hill :o)
I bought the blue/green colour way of that line, and I love it! I think that I pretty much would buy anything that has Joel Dewberry's name behind it. I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet, but I'm hoping something special!
