scrap packs for the Shades of Grey Scrap Challenge at Fat Quarterly
Earlier this summer, I brainstormed with Fat Quarterly [specifically John (Quilt Dad) and Katy (I’m a Ginger Monkey)] for a few unique projects featuring Daisy Janie’s Shades of Grey organic fabrics. THIS ~ the Scrap Challenge ~ is the project for which I've been anxiously awaiting! Finally!!
Fat Quarterly Shades of Grey Scrap Challenge
In early August, I put together a bunch of scrap packs of the Shades of Grey organic fabrics and some organic solids. Rules were open-ended: Make something. The making portion is complete, and projects are now being posted on the Fat Quarterly blog. I cannot wait to see what everyone made!

Thank you!
When I say it was a distinct privilege to partner with Fat Quarterly/John/Katy, I truly mean it. They are generous with the FQ blog space and time, full of incredible ideas and beyond enthusiastic about fabric and its potential. I walked away from each & every email with them more motivated & with a fresher perspective on my own fabrics! Thank you John & Katy!

Lastly ...
I tweeted last month about a bloody thumb and ceiling fan incident ('cuz twitter is all about garnering sympathy over fabric-related accidents). The pic above is the shot I was attempting, tiptoeing on a chair and holding the camera out in front of me over my head.
Cheers: The camera was fine b/c my thumb buffered a direct hit (ouch)!
Tears: I broke my lens last week when the dangling strap got stuck when I opened a file drawer, and BAM, that lens HIT the ground. Only 2-feet - but I paid the price for not finding a safer spot in the first place! Frickenfrack.
