Purl Soho and a Plan

June 14, 2010 by jenn

A few weeks ago while I was in New York, I stopped by Purl Soho. It was one of the top places to visit on my list and I was so excited to spend some time there. I’ve admitted that I’m addicted to fabric, so it could have been a dangerous stop, but I knew I was limited by the size of my suitcase so I was able to maintain some control. I picked up a few yards of some great stuff, but I also picked up this adorable pack of 1/2 yards. When I chose it I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but I finally figured it out. And it will be a surprise. A beautiful, sentimental surprise. So stay tuned. I plan to start it this week, so hopefully it will be done soon. (Soon is a relative term.) Either way, aren’t the fabrics just adorable and such a fun mix! I can’t wait to get started!

Note: I went back and looked through the fabrics to see what maker/line they’re from. The white one is from Cloud 9 Fabrics (Love them!), and I believe the top one is Alexander Henry. The rest weren’t labeled. Bummer. Any ideas on the others?

How can you make me wait?!?!?! The froggy one on the left is Heather Ross. I have a few ideas for my orange bundle but I’m having trouble even untieing the packet. It just looks so pretty as it is. I might just use my single cuts 1st. I’ve at least washed those up. They’re now waiting to be ironed.

Those are SO PRETTY. Ever since having Emily I’ve found an affinity for pink. 🙂

Send the store an e-mail with your pic – I bet they would tell you in an instant. Fun prints.

So if you thought Purl Soho was addicting (and it is!), you should come to Esther’s Fabrics on Bainbridge Island. It’s been there forever, and it’s super-tiny, but chock-a-block with fantastic quilting fabric. I think you’d love it.
