Last week I took the Riley Blake ribbon off of my Fat Quarter bundle of "Sew Cherry" and laid them out on my cutting board...
I pressed each and every piece and marvelled at the fact that I was ironing my very own fabric for the very first time!...girls...I'm here to tell ya that dreams do come true:)
I was afraid and exited all at the same time to line up my ruler and slide my bling-ee red rotary cutter along the edge. This is it ...the very first cut documented for you...my bloggy friends to share in my bliss.
Am I silly to make such a big deal about the first cut of my very first fabric line?
Probably.
But that's okay...I've always been known for my silliness...just ask my Mom...LOL:)
And the cutting continues...

Wow - how wonderful! No you're not silly at all... I probably never would have cut into it, just carried a jelly roll around in my bag to show everybody lol.
Congratulations to you :0)
I'd be super excited about it!! Wow don't they all look so cheery and beautiful? You should be very proud of your fabric line, it's fab.
You have every right to feel excited, I would be too.
Can I ask you what the name of that wedge ruler thing is called and where can I get one please?

Oh I would be so giddy! I am so excited for you. You need to frame those first salvage pieces - like business' frame their first dollar.
Beautiful fabrics ...congratulations ...you have every right to be VERY excited!
Congratulations Lori! What a thrill! Dreams.....yes....a very good thing, you inspire me.

Very exciting! Have tons and tons of fun!
Not silly at all! I can hardly wait for this fabric to be available. I'm getting excited about quilting again!
Oh is it possible to have soo much cuteness in one post?! :o) I don't think you are silly at all. I would have had shaky hands. :o) Your fabric is just precious and I can hardly wait to see what you are up to!
Have a great day!!
Sincerely, Trish
Lori, I am counting on you to let us know the VERY second it is available to be purchased!!
I LOVE it!

How fun!!! No silliness, at all. I'd be jumping up and down and crying, I'm sure. :) Thanks for letting us in on the moment. (And I love your fabric!)
That is very exciting! I was just thinking about your fabric and wondering what I was going to make with it. 10 minutes later, I saw your post!!! I am very excited about your beautiful fabric :)
Congrats to you...I would be jumping for joy! Dianntha
Not Silly at all! I think it's WONDERFUL and can't wait to get my hands on some of it soon :)
How fun! Thanks for sharing that with us! Such pretty fabrics.
How wonderful! Congratulations!
Love the fabric! I can't even imagine seeing my name on a salvage! WOW
So excited to see you designs for Market! Your fabric looks so pretty! I really love the polka dot with the roses!
Your fabric is super duper! Big congratulations to YOU.
It is not silly at all.. The fabric is just soooo beautiful! And sometimes it is like you are hurting that beautiful fabric.. you just have to convince yourself that what you are making is an even more beautiful display of all of the fabric TOGETHER>.
It IS a big deal, I'd be doing the very same thing :-)
Congratulations on the designing of this cute, cute fabric and for having the courage to cut into it. I am so excited to see what you are making and for this fabric to come to the quilt shops.
No way are you silly! I'm not sure I could have forced myself to cut into a piece of this yummy fabric. However, since you are the designer and I am only in love with this line I am going to have to get myself a set of FQ bundles and make some aprons, some new runners for my kitchen table and perhaps some yardage for new curtains in my county kitchen. I've always wanted a vintage country kitchen in this old farmhouse and this is the most vintage'ish (new word,teehee)fabric I've seen and it is the perfect line.
CONGRATS!!!!!
Are you kidding? I'd do the same thing and do the happy dance!!
So excited for you - I can just feel your hesitation ! Looking forward to seeing what you create from your beautiful fabric.
Oh it is lovely! You are one blessed gal! Ooh and btw I may have video taped it....lol congrats.
So excited for you...I would not be able to cut straight, even with the help of the ruler..And to see my name on salvage...oh be still my heart...All I can say is CONGRATS!!!! And let us know when we can run in and buy it....
How exciting! It would have been hard to cut into! I love this fabric ... will have to have it!
OH, you have a reason to be excited. I am excited for you. Have fun creating.
Can hardly wait to see what you will create!
They are just gorgeous! I'll bet even ironing them was a lot of fun! Can't wait to see those Dresdens!
You are NOT silly!! I think it is an incredible dream come true. Drink it all in :-)
Go ahead and be perfectly silly, I would be too. Beautiful prints and colors--exciting!
can't wait to get my hands on some of this fabric.
darling!
{thanks for not including orange in this collection!}
I think your fabric is very pretty...but the reason I am commenting...it's the Doris Day! I am thinking I have to find my copy of Calamity Jane and watch it tonight. I love her. Congrats on your fabric line.
Congrats and enjoy the excitement...it's absolutely beautiful fabric...can't wait till it's available!!
I had no idea that you had your own line...amazing! Gee, I know someone famous and she even won my give a way! Very cool ;D
It's a very big deal and I just about wanted to squeal with delight when I saw it. What a great line of fabric. Can't wait to see what you do with it now!

I don't blame you for being excited, I think any of us would be the same way! Congratulations and hope there are many more in your future. And can I ask you where you go that adorable red rotary cutter???
Silliness? Depends on who you ask - I think you just be as silly as you want to be and keep on giggling and smiling.
