Does fabric keep anyone awake at night?

Some nights it keeps me up. Some nights it wakes me up. I am serious.

The other night I kept having a dream about choosing fabric for a quilt. I couldn’t decide! There are way to many choices. I kept having the same scenario play over and over of trying to choose fabric. Until I woke up, at 4:30am! I couldn’t go back to sleep. It was time to go online window shopping.
I used to get my fix from True Up. I am so sad Kim Kight doesn’t blog anymore. Although I love her line with Cotton and Steel as much as I love her blog so it evens out.
Another way I get my fix is following some new people on Instagram

I am pretty sure I found Alexouq on Instagram after Cotton and Steel re-posted one of her projects. I decided to check out her feed and was impressed and inspired by all of her wonderful paper piecing.

She also owns a online fabric shop! She posts the most wonderful pictures of fabric! I always love the different combinations she comes up with. Sometimes she matches collections with solids and other times she mashes different collections together!

I have been following Nicole from snip snippets since she became a contestant on Sewivour. She is amazing at quilting and the way she combines fabrics, colours and patterns is soooooo perfect! Everything she posts blows my mind.

I love the simple way this bag is quilted and have I mentioned that purple is my favourite colour!
