To be in tip-top shape for the International Quilt Festival of Ireland on the 7-9 June, I have been cutting fat quarters of every print in the shop and am trying to find some pretty way to display them all. I think I am going by rainbow order instead of by fabric line. It just looks prettier that way. I have them all cut now and tucked away in little baskets ready to display.

I am also trying to make Kona Solid fat quarter bundles for the show. I have eight colorways and I want to make several bundles each, so I have just been cutting and cutting and cutting. This is what 220+ Kona fat quarters look like:

I just have 4 of Bone and lots of Tomato to cut yet, then I will be ready to start making bundles. I like that part...with the ribbon and all.
That is the news around here. More fabric line bundles (Boho, 2wenty Thr3e and One for the Boys) tomorrow night and I am cutting a stash of Kona FQs for yet another basket. I need another rotary blade ASAP....

Are you all tired out from all the cutting? Your poor wrist!
Wishing you every success Cindy!
As a tip, in Uttoxeter some had their cutting mats with them to slice more off the bolt if necessary!
Well done with all that cutting. I hope you have a lovely show time.
I hope you have a great show and come home with nothing!
WOW that's a lot of yummy fabric! Have fun cutting and I hope it all goes... pretty ribbon wrapped bundles are bound to fly off :)
Fabric bundle envy!!
Get yourself a rotary sharpener, not cheap but I use mine daily and it makes the blades last much longer. Hope you have a fantastic show x
The slog of cutting all those FQs is worth it when you see all those FQ bundles. Di x
All of those Kona's.....yummmmm!!!!
I like fabrics in rainbow order. I'd definitely come by your booth with all of those bundles!
I sure wish I could go to your show. I love all the colours of solids you have there.
Ah, it will be worth it! Changing the subject, when placing an order in the shop, do I need to go through paypal to pay by laser?, I have tried three times in the last couple of weeks but between the kids messing around and my incompetence with paypal I haven't manage to place the order. Sorry for the silly question, I know the answer might be in front of my eyes!.
Have a great show Cindy.
I hope the quilt festival is a huge success for you. It should be because people should be attracted to all that colour like bees to honey.
So delicious. I just want to roll around in all that colour!
Have fun at the show!
E xx
I bet your stall is going to look marvellous and attract lots of buyers! Good luck!
I do not envy you all that cutting but surrounded by all that fabric may just make up for it! xxx
Good luck with the festival! I would like to go there sometime in the future but not this year.
droooooool!! and Jealoooouuuss.....
The Kona solids look - and sound (tomato, bone) - delicious!
Your efforts will be well worth it as I'm sure the attendees will love your selections! Good job!
