One more example of how I am such a dandylion!
1. I got the Hancocks of Paducah catalog & drooled while my cats napped on my lap. :o)
2. I decided to look at my Bleeker Street bundle & compare it to what HoP has available - when did I become so damn matchy-matchy - that used to be a bad word in my quilting...
3. Took Aviary back to the cutting table with the pattern (so that I could use the scraps for something else - yes, I am THAT bad.)
4. decided to look for the sewing machine attachment that allows you to sew a nice circle.
5. Granted I know that I never got around to putting that away where it belongs - but I could nto find the "where it belongs" bag to make sure... when I found the bag, it was not in there. Luckily I found my charms while looking for the attachment - they were kind of where they belong... I finally found the attachment & sewed some charms to the fusible interfacing last night - correctly no less - HAPPY! HAPPY!
6. Since I took so long finding the attachment, I never got around to checking the Bleeker Street.
7. I never got around to cutting thr Aviary - because I had to sew the other charms first anyway...
(the last three items are what "figures.")
8. I am so glad that the HoP catalog was not my first exposure to Joel Dewberry - the pictures do not do it justice....
9. I really really want the brown/orange Aviary collection...

Dandelion or not, look at how much you did and enjoyed the doing! Sounds like you got full dollar's worth... :-)
Can you describe about the sewing machine attachment that allows you to sew in a circle? I haven't heard of it and it sounds interesting.
I love those HOP catalogs too!!
I really need to look for those Joel Dewbery fabrics. They are really unique.
Sounds like you had fun, anyway!
