The UPS man delivered a big box of gorgeous Hoffman fabrics on Friday. Even though I knew what was coming it knocked me off my game a bit to hold the actual fabrics in my hand. What bliss! I am sure one fabric is made of quicksilver...it is so fluid as it moves and catches the light. I marvel at how silver threads can be woven in with plain cotton to achieve such effect. It was a couple of hours before I could settle down to sew as after I felt each hand, admired the colours and prints, rubbed them on my cheek and inhaled their cottony goodness, I also had to iron each and every piece. I like to get to know my fabrics before I release their magic in patchwork. While I cannot show you what was in the box when it arrived...
I can show you what's in it now. Polly! She was so determined to get inside that box, so I put in a bit of wool batting scraps and let her enjoy. You can see her paws kneading the wool; my Gram always called this "mixing bread".
What is it about cats and boxes?
