Another Monday with nothing on my wall - but I have an excuse, as we've been on the road for the past week!
I do have some fabric to show that I bought at many different locations while travelling......
I began by choosing some yellows as that colour stack was a bit lacking in my stash, and of course some greens and oranges came along for the ride.
Then I found these beautiful butterflies and a soft floral print on pale yellow...
The five 1 yard pieces were in a bundle in the sale basket at the quilt show - cute for kids quilts......
Then a few batik fat quarters came home to play.....
Fairy frosts were calling my name - a half yard of yellow and fat quarters of the rest.....
I had been looking for a great fabric to use as my "teaching aid" next winter, as I have a large number of quilters in my Florida group who would like to try a stack n whack, so this Oriental fills the bill.....
I'm always on the look-out for cute panels for kids and baby quilts, and the little animal print was calling my name.....
I had been looking for some gradated fabrics for a while, and found these being cleared - fat quarters of some and half
-yards of others......
By then I wasn't looking for yellows any more, and these blues seemed to want a new home.......
These ten 1 yard pieces were tied in a bundle at the quilt show, and came to $3 per yard.......
And finally an unusual brown fabric that DH pulled from the shelves, along with some grey stone fabric, called Stonehenge.....
Total damage - 38 yards
This is some of my quilty stuff that needs to be put away. Most of it will be waiting until I finish some quilting.
The fabric that I bought at Jinny Beyers Studio is heading off to the washing machine.
The stripe spoke to me - I love the deep peach colours against the black. The mug holds a collection of fat eighths - the one I chose had mostly blues and greens. Don't know what I'll do with this - I'll wait until inspiration strikes!
Another lovely sunny day, but couldn't stop at a couple of my favourite shops, as we passed by before they opened. DH pulled a page out of his itinerary, and told me to help him navigate. After a quick stop for lunch we ended up at Jinny Beyer's Studio!
Had a lovely snoop around the shop - great seeing the famous palette all in one place, and loved browsing her famous stripes! There were lots of patterns, kits, and interesting gift items as well. Even though I've been on a self-imposed fabric diet, I had to go off the wagon! I found a lovely stripe that had to come home with me, then bought 2 half-yard pieces of coordinating fabrics. DH suggested that I get a coffee mug with a selection of fat eights as well! If I had a larger budget, I would have bought a kit for this quilt, made from her newest fabric line. The village centre where the shop is located is very picturesque! We headed out and meandered our way to Wilkes Barre PA.
