A friend asked what fabrics do I have & how much.
So, here's a part of my ever-growing stash.
Some are folded.
Some are lying around,
patiently waiting to be sorted out, by colours, theme or by designers.
The hardest part of my projects, is always selecting the fabrics,
which seem to be oozing out from every corner of my small & crowded studio. 
...and a new quilt top...
Today, our Niklas, is 13 years old. He sure loves to read.
He has been waiting a long time for this day, to be a teenager.
And we waited a long time for Niklas to be in our lives.
Whenever I pick him up in school, he hugs & kisses me which really means a lot to me.
I am happy that he does that, whenever he sees me or his sister.

He holds his sister's hand when she is frightened. And removes her shoes for her,
when her hands are full with schoolbag & ice cream.
生日快乐，权权! Shen ri kuai le, Quan Quan !
You are finally a teenager. Have fun with your new Kindle.

You're material stash is so amazing...I kept on looking at each photo and thinking wow!! look at that material and with every new photo came another wow!
Enjoy your weekend with the new teenager.

I love that quilt top. I also know if my fabric were stacked in those neat piles it would only last until I needed something in the middle!
Selamat Hari Ulang Tahun! Happy Birthday, Niklas! (Can I borrow your Kindle?)
Fabulous fabric! Gorgeous quilt! And a wonderful teenaged son as well. Lovely post. Happy Birthday, Niklas!
That is some fabric stash, oh my! Happy Birthday Teenager... hope you all enjoy the ride that having a teenager in the house brings. It's fun. Most of the time :)
Beautiful fabrics; a lot of them Japanese!!! Gorgeous.
Happy Birthday and Shengrì Kuaile to Niklaus! And hang on to your hats as there might be stormy times ahead. But maybe not. He seems to be a considerate young man, helping his sister and everything. Cheers Vreni
OK...makcik...I tahu you ada banyak kain....but tak tau this much!! Macam kedai kain and many in bolts! I think you nak buka or must buka kedai kain one day. I tengok again and again and I suka all of them, but i do know memang susah to jual them because all too precious! wow...mana you beli so banyak! Jual lah sikit, destash sikit ...I think you boleh make quilt sampai cucu cicit :)
Happy birthday Niklas, being a teenager is a stepping stone and with all the love you have, I am sure you'll do great :P

Thank you for stopping by my Blog and leaving your lovely comments. I love your fabric stash, much tidier and neater than mine. Happy birthday to Niklas.

Happy belated birthday to Niklas. His birthday is the day after mine!!
Thank you for stopping my blog. I have visited some of your older posts and have enjoyed seeing your lovely work. I also hope that Niklas' break is healing well. Ouch. Our granddaughter had the same break a couple of years ago. It was no fun!
Xue!!!!!!!!
Feliz Cumpleanos to Niklas! I survived my beautiful daughter's 13th last year! I know girls and boys are different but it sure does seem like you have done a G.R.E.A.T. job with your two babies! How lovely the way he treats his baby sister! My son, almost 12, still kisses and cuddles and hold my hand in public; in front of his friends. It is lovely!
Your stash. I wanna hop on a plane and go shopping for fabrics in Japan now if not in YOUR stash! LOL!! Great. G.R.E.A.T fabrics! I have stash envy full on!
This was such a lovely post. All of it!
One gal above mentioned that she is not getting your emails. You asked me for mine but I have not heard from you since just in case you have been trying to send one to me too! Until the next post!
Ok. I also just went back to have a look! Can you recommend any shops that would sell their Japanese fabs overseas? I just love them and I just don't have anything like that. My friend Megumi brought me back a few fabs when she was home this summer but nothing like these!! (I blogged about it).
Also, love love love the pattern of your quilt! So much fun!! Can you share with your readers???????
Happy Birthday to Niklas!
Xue, please tell me if you use patterns for your quilts or if you make the design in your imagination? Your work is beautiful!
Happy Birthday to your teenage son! And happy lovely fabrics you have! If you ever would like to do a swap of fat quarters...let me know! I also like to quilt- more of the crazy quilts! :)
Oh wow, what an amazing fabric stash! I want it! I love the little jumping bunnies.
