Thanks to Mdm Samm, Amy Bradley, and Marlene for creating, providing a pattern and hosting/cheer-leading this event.
Now, if you've read my blog in the past you are aware that I tend to bend the rules on these things and while I liked Amy's pattern she provided...it didn't speak to me until I altered it slightly to look like my Quilt Muse...
Presto, here she is...
I couldn't decide what to have her say...
My choices I came up with were:
1. Girl, Go On...Quilt!
2. Go On Girl, Buy the Bolt!
3. Your Stash Needs Something...Better Go Shopping!
I ended up going with choice number #2. I used a font in Microsoft Word and hand embroidered the message...then I stretched her over a frame like this project and she is now egging me on in my sewing room...can you say enabler...
Now please go visit all the Me-types sharing this day on the Blog hop...

Love the hair! Yeah, I'm not that graceful yet, so the thinner version is creative as well as the change in words.
ReplyDeleteYep.. a smile to go to bed on... Love your rendition!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm sure gonna go out now and buy the whole bolt! LOL - Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove your Quilt Muse! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love your interpretation of this project!!
ReplyDeleteYour creativity is awesome. I love her!!! Thanks for sharing your interpretation
ReplyDeleteShe looks gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I only wish I could buy the bolt! LOL
ReplyDeleteHahaha - great choice.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Fabulous! I think I would have chosen #2 as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Now that made me smile. As if I need an enabler...that would only make me worse.
ReplyDeleteThis lady is too cool!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute -- LOVE the hair! -- it's good to have a muse who encourages you to feel good about what you're gonna do anyway, lol!
ReplyDeleteYu did a wonderful job with your muse....Love how you made it your own..
ReplyDeleteYou chose perfectly the quote love it...and the blog hop is ITS ABOUT ME, so I think you did her justice lol And not that I needed any coaxing but I do need a bolt of something...ahhh it 's coffee...or is that jolt lol
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...forget the little bits and pieces and go for the BOLT! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love her! I remember you last word lady too. Very creative! And I can relate to all of your possible word choices. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great choice on the wording :) I'm excited to try putting a project on a frame too, great idea!
ReplyDeleteWords to live buy - but better buy a raffle ticket first! Thanks for sharing your lady!
ReplyDeleteI with you on that thought! What a fabulous "you" you've created!! LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect Kris!! I just love buy the bolt!
ReplyDeleteVery, very cute...I love her and the saying!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose that saying - I'm forever saying that and not doing it. :) She's a doll! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteConsidering that you have entitled your blog "Kris Loves Fabric" I would say that you have made a "YOU" that describes you well. A slimmed down shorter haired version of the original design. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteI think that your Muse and mine are related! LOL! LOVE THIS!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! What a fun rendition! And her advice should be well taken!
ReplyDeleteYour muse is great! Now you will never "forget" to buy more fabric!
ReplyDeleteGreat job.I like your gal.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteself enabler -- love it. I also love how you made her not so dumpy looking and instead went for fierce. If you get the time you might consider making a companion to this one with the 3rd line that you were pondering -- you know complete the circle.
ReplyDeleteOh so now you can look at your little quilt and get permission to buy more fabric, huh? Lol. So darn cute!
ReplyDeleteRosemary B here: love this. YOu are in great shape.
ReplyDeleteI adore the font, the words and your hand embroidery. AND the fabrics!
Yes, we reach a point in life where the only permission we really need is our own. Go do it girl. :-P
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing adorable project!
Love the alterations you made to the pattern. I wish I made mine tell me to buy more fabric I could have had a fun time.
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation! now where'd I put that bolt?
ReplyDeleteyour me is great! I love that you changed her and I love what she's saying! It's a fab font too!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and personalized. Love the lettering and embroidery idea. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!!! My husband would disagree, but I think I need her as my fabric fairy when I go shopping!
ReplyDeleteGreat, I love her hair. There have been many times I have wanted to buy the bolt.
ReplyDeleteI agree....great work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific project and now a terrific addition to your sewing room! I think you caught the sentiment of many a quilter - buy the whole bolt! I was sick one day when I went to my LQS and one of the workers was cutting fat quarters off bolts as she was unpacking them. I thought she was ruining full bolts. I thought one might be headed to her personal stash. My understanding is that she does all the purchasing for the shop. She's the sister of the owner. So, I bet she has perks. She's really a very, sweet helpful lady, so I had no problem, except sometimes I do want a full bolt because I try to use some of my backing fabric in the front also. Again, a great job. Thanks for blogging and getting today off to a great inspirational start.
ReplyDeleteThis is great!! No end to our imagination on this Hop!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour work is so "Kris". Looks great with our other project.

ReplyDeleteI loved her and what she had to say. Oh, yes!
ReplyDeleteLove the saying, you did a great job. I'm glad you are in the hop to entertain us.

ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love her ,great saying too,thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteShe's great !
ReplyDeleteOh, that girl sits on my shoulder encouraging me to do that way too often!!! She's adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! Now that's the kind of friend to have in your sewing room. I might have to have a reverse side that would say, "Heavens, you don't need that; you have way too much fabric now!" That way when my hubby comes into the sewing room, he'd think I was working on 'fabric control!'
ReplyDeleteOooh, haven't we all heard those little urgings! What a clever little project, and I love the wild hair. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love it.She`s adorable!!
ReplyDeleteYour creation is just the cutest! I love the point she makes.
ReplyDeleteSuper xute love the hair and the wording...
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable and fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
