fabric store ladies go ga-ga

i went to the fabric store today and found what i needed: black fabric to frame the shower curtain and the perfect classic fringe in black and a rich coral to add a bit of color.

when i laid the pieces on the cutting table, the woman wielding the scissors ooohed and aaaahed, which set off a chain reaction of crafty ladies all a flutter. a flurry of questions as to where i bought the fabric surrounded me. not to be discouraged, an intrepid fluttee broke from the pack and jot down the brand name and maker. they all agreed heartily that it indeed would make a fabulous shower curtain, and that perhaps people would dawdle in the privy to get a good long look at it. they encouraged me to take a picture of the finished product for their wall of fame.

we'll see how it turns out.
