It's still Sunday, right? Right, just barely.The mailman brought me a fun little package from Fat Quarter Shop!
I didn't think the long awaited "Sherbet Pips" by Aneela Hoey came out until April but I did receive the email from FQS that they had charm packs, layer cakes, and jelly rolls IN STOCK!
What's a PIP, you ask? I have no idea. I tried to google it but nothing seemed to answer my question. Is it a monetary measurement? Or maybe its short for "Pippi Longstocking?" I imagine it to be a type of British candy, for some reason. Anyhow, I digress.
So I pounced on 2 charm packs (each pack consisting of 42 - 5" squares of the entire line!) Yes sir-ee Bob, I'm a happy girl! Now, if only the yardage were available... then I could make a major dent in my checking account~
I pulled my three fav prints, below... Mmmmm yummy!
Now the important question: What shall I create from these 84 squares?
A quilt, most likely... if the most perfect design were to cross my path.

yum is right! I'm so glad I'm not the only one ready for April
Sherbert Pips are indeed British candy. And I am not envious at all of your fabric, no no no, not at all ;-)
Ooooh I love that! May have to pounce on some myself!

Man, those are cute!
yay, you got some moda! I love this line, I can't wait to see what you create. i'm sure it will be awesome!
In college, my roommate had a fish tank. The fish were named Penelope and the Pips. Penelope ended up eating all the Pips. I cannot get past this "pip" reference from my own life. Love Pippi Longstocking!
I love the collection! I don't have any, but maybe as a .. Easter present to myself? I think that's the closest holiday anyway.
Can't wait to see what you make!
I purchased this pack just the other day. I will be interested to see what you do with it. I need another playmat for my daughter, and was just going to sew them as squares - quick and functional. I am guessing you will be more creative?
I've been waiting ages for Pips to be released too. I bought two charm packs - think I will make a patchwork baby quilt for a friend who is expecting.
Let's go with British candy. That sounds fun.
That is COOL fabric! I hadn't known about this new gem of a line. Yay for you!
I bought one charm pact...but I am just torn...part of me wants to save it, and part of me cant wait to frame each square!
