Do the fabrics ever talk to you?

I bought this set of fat quarters, I really loved. I started making a turning twenty quilt for myself. About halfway through it I started "hearing" it tell me that my daughter Kelli needed it. Well, I finished it and my dh's first comment was, "Did you make that for Kelli?" Needless to say, Kelli has it and really loves it.

If your fabric didn't talk to you then you probably wouldn't buy it. I had a box of scraps that told me to send them to someone else so they could be used. So little by little they are being shipped out as I have the money to send them.

It certainly talks to me.
As soon as it hits the store where I work there are two sometimes three or four of us fighting over the same fabric (we share). If only one of us is working at the time, we know what the other likes and it tells us to save it for her until she comes in for work.
I also have fabric I bought (because it told me to) but it hasn't told me what it wants to be yet. I keep checking but it says "not yet".
It's always best to listen when fabric talks to you.

Yarn also talks to me. I heard navy and cream talk to me once to crochet a granny square afghan. Had no clue as to why as those colors were nowhere in my house or any house that I knew of. Until it was time for our pastor and his wife's anniversary --- their LR was navy and cream! And by that time the afghan was done just waiting for a home.

Fabric talks to me also! Didn't want to say anything. Didn't want people to think I was nuts!
But more than anything the quilt talks to me as I am piecing it. Sometimes I have a quilt I am making for someone in mind but another person pops in my head that the quilt should go to.
If I go with the flow things go really smooth. If not I end up taking apart blocks like crazy.
I have a quilt now that I don't know where it should go. It has no home as of yet! I guess it wants to stay with me! :D :lol: :lol:
