Sunshine

No, it's not outside unfortunately, it's on my sewing table.

This fabric is from Moda and is called Sunshine. I loved it when I bought it over a year ago, and I love it still. There is just something about blue and yellow that speaks to me (usually what it says is 'buy me, buy me').

I bought this pattern on Saturday at my retail therapy session - Charmed and Dangerous by Anka's Treasures. It uses charm squares and I just happened to have some of those in Sunshine too, so this is what I'm planning on making.

It's another simple pattern, but I seem to be into simple these days.

There is something bothering me. Last year we paid a fleeting visit to Shipshewana and I bought (among other things) a pattern, a jelly roll and co-ordinating fabric to make the pattern. It is still sitting in the bag I bought it in, but the jelly roll is missing. I've looked through all my shelves, drawers and piles (there are more piles than I'd care to admit), but I can't find that jelly roll anywhere. The co-ordinating fabric isn't any use without the jelly roll. I am becoming convinced that it wasn't put in the bag, but since this was last July I don't think I have any recourse.

I've been saying this for quite some time now, but I really MUST get some project pouches of some kind and when I buy fabric for a specific pattern, put everything together in the same place. This wouldn't have helped with this problem, but at least I would have found out sooner if I'd done it as soon as I got home as I would have realized right away the jelly roll was missing. Now I'll have to go on a search for the fabric - it was Moda's Roman Holiday so if you know anyone with a jelly roll for sale, please let me know.
