Description
Ok, I got a little carried away with the alliteration, but on this dreary, wet, windy and rainy morning, some humor and color seemed to be the right choice. This is my favorite fabric store EVER--in Hawaii. I spent hours wandering around this heavenly place, trying to decide on exactly the RIGHT pieces. My choice---the red one, of course. Well, one choice, anyway, I actually bought 4 or 5 pieces!! This particular piece now serves as half of a small duvet cover; the other half is a piece I found in Mexico a few years ago. Fabric is one of my passions, I don't make my own clothes the way I used to, but I can't pass up a piece that's colorful, unique, or just plain fun!!

Oh wow girlfriend - I also used to make my own clothes (about 100 years back when I still had time) and fabric is also one of my passions!!! How is it that we only find this out now! Marvelous shot of these colorful beauties!!!

We are SO alike, Marylin! Have you got that bumpersticker, 'she who dies with the most fabric wins'? The trouble is, I should like to use it all, but like you there is little chance as long as I keep buying! I think I'd have some of the green as well!

You should see my sister Gail's collection. She quilts. She's not alone in our family in that, but her fabric collection is out of this world! She dyed her own fabric for a while. I like the green with the turtle! Great store and excellent shot!

I could so see a few of those becoming capries, shorts, or the over layer shirt for the layered look. Great shot. I have mug you guys . It reads So much fabric so little time. Ok so lets pull out our Singers and get sewing.

Wild, lush and decadent! You've ripped away the fabric of the space-time continuum in this brilliantly colored and multi design capture, M!

Beautiful photo of fabulous fabrics. Hi Marilyn. My wife loved fabric stores. I tried to find something in them that could hold my interest...try as I might, I failed every time! But when you can't sew a button on so it stays...what could I be finding in a material store. I knew where there was one with a train store nearby...that's where we usually went for my enjoyment. LOL.

Well look at this. Apparently all my friends sew! LOL! You, Carin, Andrea, Cheri ... who knew? I need some motivation to make all those shirts I've cut out! LOL! And it's on my bucket list to teach Bill to sew on a button. Seriously. Nobody should be THAT helpless! LOL!

LOL @ Tara! I can stitch a wound shut, but I can't sew...go figure. I'm weird like that. Anyway, all wound-stitching aside, this is a gorgeous and wonderfully vibrant shot. I see this as "Marilyn Standard" in that it's full of well controlled reds...they're vibrant but they're not "hot." And the other colors are absolutely wonderful. This is a feast for the eyes and I'm imagining what you'd do in Prague in the stores they have there...but they're not so big on colorful fabrics, though you can get some wonderful stuff there. You'd probably spend more time at the fruit stalls. They're everywhere and for some reason when I see this, I can smell honeydew melons and peaches and grapefruits the size of...well...dangerously juicy grapefruits: the kind that squirt when you peel them. Ah, what a ramble this has caused...I meant to comment on fabric, but instead I've gone on a spitting grapefruit tangent...I guess because they were also ruby reds and they were VERY VERY good! Like this picture!
