Now there is no reason to call a whambulance if you didn't win because Charlie & Lindsay have given us another FIVE scrap packs to give-a-way through an online interactive vote on the Fat Quarterly!! Just keep checking their new blog for all the details and if you happen to also need to purchase one of their issues ( like i did )... you'll have plenty of ideas on what to utilize your new possible fabric score on!!

and now a little personal thought i had this week....

nothing to do with fabric... EVERYthing to do with an obsession
how funny a little thing like music is to a person.. for me i listen to many of my most treasured music artists and while hearing them i see colors and pictures of fabric, patterns and designs... in fact i could probably recall every band i was listening too while creating each bee block or swap gift for all my treasured friends... but NOTHING compares to my youngest son and how music speaks to him.

i listen and revel in the lyrics and the message the song brings... he listens and hears only the vibrations the beats they bring... he'll move his hands to Coldplay's Violet Hill and dance with me to Rhianna's Rude Boy... only hearing the rhythm that each song brings him... it's an amazing thing that happens to a human while they listen to music in the backdrop of their lives... it's as if it captures their memories and every time you hear that song again you remember. fantastic, really... just fantastic.

each of the songs i choose too share on my blog are immensely beautiful to me... whether they are the first songs i kissed my husband too or had an early morning dance in the kitchen with one of my sons... i can honestly say.... that if quilts are my completed art then music is my fabric... it completely drives me and my loved ones daily.... i'd love to hear which song moves you to your core! the one that makes you smile just at the thought that it could actually play again... just then... on the radio at that moment.... thus catching your breath while bringing you back to that sweet moment in your past.

nostalgia at it's best.... heaven.
