An Abundance of Riches

001

I received a package in the mail this weekend from the very generous designer for whom I have been doing some stunt sewing.  It came completely out of the blue and surprised the heck out of me!  Inside the package were a ton of layer cakes, charm packs, her latest patterns, and a lovely note of encouragement.

Seriously, I really lucked out when she asked me to sew for her!  Her generosity is unparalleled.  There is enough fabric here to make a number of full sized quilts as well as half a dozen smaller projects.  And as soon as I finish the current project I am working on for her, I will get started!  LOL.

How cute will this be?

I think Odyssea is the perfect fabric collection to use for the March Schnibbles project, Roundabout.  Why?  Well, because I think a collection that includes mostly medium to dark value prints will work best with that pattern.  I just need to find a light background fabric and this fabric will really pop against it.  Look at that funny fish print!  Insanely adorable.
