I mention it occasionally, so you might already know that my most very favourite fabric of all time is Jennifer Paganelli's Nuala in red/aqua. I love the electric colours and the timeless pattern. Seeing it just makes me happy! I only ever got my hands on half a yard of it but every little piece of it has been put to good use. In fact I love this fabric so much that Gbf has nicknamed me the Nuala Koala.


I mentioned my love of it to Mandy of Mand-a-lin blog, a fellow Sis Boom fabric lover, and the next time I saw her she'd whipped up this gorgeous bag for me!!

OOOhhhh!!!! SooOOOOOOoo Beautifulll!!!
She put the fabric's name from the selvedge, that's Mandy for you, so clever and thoughtful.

So I know I mentioned that I loved Nuala, but what I hadn't told Mandy was how much I love red/white polka dots. It's not something I tell many people. I'm a bit obsessed with them and I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm a bit dotty. Hee hee :-) I've got a whole shelf dedicated to them. So to have a bag with red and white polka dots, even in the lining is sooo me!
Here's just a few of my dotty spotty collection. I've got a quilt planned for them, with pillows to match, maybe a skirt or 2...
Thank you Mandy, You made me the world's coolest bag!!!
Super exciting news , My wish that Nuala would be reprinted has almost been granted. I found a sneak peek of Jennifer's new designs on her website in the side bar on her blog. West Indies is another one of her beautiful ranges of glorious rich colours and beautiful patterns. I'm excited that it includes a fabric called Matilda that is reminiscent of Nuala! I'm not sure when it's being released, but I know I'll be stocking up this time.
You can't have too much of a good thing!
