Grace for a Traveller: FA (Fabri-holics Anonymous)

A Traveller is Born

"This book it chalketh out before thine eyes
The man that seeks the everlasting Prize;
It shows you whence he comes, whither he goes,
What he leaves undone; also what he does:
It also shows you how he runs, and runs
Til he unto the Gate of Glory comes.
It shows too, who set out for life amain,
As if the lasting crown they would attain;
Here also you may see the reason why
They lose their labor, and like Fools do die.

This book will make a Traveller of thee..."

-John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress, from the Author's Apology)

FA (Fabri-holics Anonymous)

Do you find yourself staring for indeterminate lengths of time at a particularly awesome swath of fabric?

Have you considered selling something, say maybe your car, so that you can buy such fabric?

Have you ever considered even for a moment using fabric as wallpaper?

Do certain fabrics make you to giggle out loud, causing those around you to suspect you are the slightest bit... how shall we say it... off center?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions you are in the right place.

I have just discovered my new favorite fabric designer, Art Gallery Fabrics by Patricia Bravo. (Check out her blog.) And, yes, I bought some:

The green on the right is actually by Joel Dewberry. It's going in the dining room window seat. The other three are Art Gallery awesomeness: pink for the bathroom curtains and some accent pillows in the family room. Teal for the inside of the laptop bag Alicia is making me. Gray/blue/green for the laundry room curtains. Yes, I know. It's an illness. That's what the support group is for.
