Sorry for the less than usual quality of the photos. I took the pictures from my phone. But these fabrics are totally GORGE! (Is that French?)
The other news is that the test came back. The number is 25. Sigh...
Well, you know what they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get sewing! So I think I'll spend this weekend doing exactly that. I should have the bulk of my jacket completed. I picked up some chain while I was on my trip, so I'll apply that. I need to figure out what to do for trim, but I have time for that. OMG, and I have to show you one more fabric (it isn't Parisian, but it is totally fabulous): Fancy Italian RPL in bright orange! I fell so in love with this that I took 3 yards to make into this Vogue dress:
Isn't that just totally Michelle Obama??? I love it, and I'm going to make that as soon as I can!
I want to sign off with a big shout out to Carolyn of Diary of a Sewing Fanatic. We had dinner last night. Carolyn is one of the dearest women around. She's funny, smart, sassy and the best dinner companion and friend you could ever wish for! Her blog is a must-read. Carolyn sweetie, it was wonderful to see you! Let's do it again soon - say in 12 weeks or so?
Parting Shot: Two Redheads
Sorry it's blurry, but the fabulous Laura Bennett and I got together in New York this week. You know she has a book coming out? It's going to be funny and fabulous - definitely a must read!
That's all for now. Stay well and happy sewing!

You look your usual fabulous self! And the next 12 weeks aren't going to change that. :-) Have you "seen" me eyeing that black/navy fabric all afternoon? It's just TDF!
We'll be sending "positive waves", believe me.
You two look awesome! I just love LB's new do!
Sorry about the number...I don't get the significance of 25 exactly, though I have been following your blog re your news...but I take it it is not good news.
best wishes, hugs from Oz.
and BTW, I loved Laura Bennet from PR and her 5/6 kids!
I don't know what 25 means either, but I'm sure you have the chance to kick its ass. Be faithful and fearless.
You are killing me with all the boucles, Ann!
Obviously 25 is not a good number! I am thinking about you and many others who are facing the same issue. My thoughts/prayers/well wishes are with you. Glad you mentioned the book, I like LB. I can't wait to see your dress made up as I did not have great success with mine, but more operator issues than the pattern.
Sweetie it was good to see you and I will continue to keep you in my prayers! But I know you will be fine - you have such a great attitude! I will see you in 12 weeks and I WILL have a glass of champagne with you to celebrate!
Hot girls in the city! Keep your chin up, soon all of this bad juju will be past you!
You and Laura look wonderful. Two fabulous dAmes in a fabric shop. What could be better? I am a big fan of hers so I am jealous of you. :)
What a fabulous photo of you and Laura. Sorry about the number and the continued treatment, but I know you will kick a** and beat this and do it with style to spare. You are in my thoughts.
I will be thinking of you and sending you well wishes and good vibes for the next 12 weeks.
I love the fabric design and the texture is beautiful. The colors are elegant. I love it.
Stunning fabrics, the green one is so attractive. The designs are stunning.
