I spent the bulk of the day yesterday mopping up the water and doing laundry. I have 2 dehumidifiers and 3 fans running down there hoping to speed up the drying process. 3 area rugs were soaked and one will get pitched. I think the other 2 will be OK. Last night I decided to pull some Kaffe prints to add to the batik strips for the Stepping Stones pattern. Once I start making them I'll probably know if I want to substitute any fabrics. I have a lot of boxes to put back in place today so I don't know if I'll get around to any sewing.
The colors and patterns are wonderful. Just love your color choices- wish I had them to work with-although I could not do a pattern like yours. Sorry you had to deal with flooding! Linda
So Wanda, since you added the KF fabrics, are you going to mix those in with the batiks? I recently quilted a quilt with both, and it was awesome!! Looking forward to watching this one grow!
Oh sater damage is such a mess to deal with--our basement flooded yrs ago and I STILL recall how awful it was!! I love your colors for this quilt--hope you can get to start it this weekend..and that the RAIN goes away!! Julierose
Hope the basement gets dry soon, lovely fabrics, they are a tonic in themselves, just to look at ,pick up, rearrange, and the next quilt will be a real treat for us to see. Take care, Greetings from Jean
Yay, another Kaffe Stepping Stones! I can't wait to see your version. I get always get a ton of compliments on my Kaffe version. So sorry to hear about the water in your basement, I know from first hand experience that is no fun!

I'm sorry you're dealing with the water, but as you said yesterday, it could have been worse. Glad you're getting cleared up.
ReplyDeleteMany are dealing with water. Looks like you are on your way with the next quilt. Chris

good thing you have as much as you do in plastic boxes - they sure are good to have
ReplyDeleteVery nice fabric choices. Hope you basement dries out soon.
ReplyDeleteUGH!!! Nobody has time for cleanup!!
ReplyDeleteLove those colors and fabrics for the stepping stones.
I sure understand your dilemma, and priorities like mopping up came first.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't loose any fabric and that is the positive.
