Oh what a week it's been! Work has been stressful. I was sick a bit. Thankfully the weekend has been lovely, so far. This week has been a fabric week!
Here is a photo of everything I got.
I went to my in-town local fabric store once I was starting the leg work of the Postage Stamp quilt I'm completing for the p.s. i quilt quilt-along. I was lacking of good yellows and transitional yellow oranges. So I purchased a few. Got enough for my stash building too.
I have joined a few on-line bees and am going to attempt to complete a few angel blocks for people who are missing blocks Being an angel can be hard work. Especially when I went to my stash and I found that I have NO whites. I have white backing but nothing white on white. I had to get some of that and found a few yummy black and whites.
I got a few fat quarters of items just because. . I love them!
*Edit* - Oh there are these yummy ones too. . . I love the one on the bottom here with the diamonds. So i got a little from the line. Oh the beautiful things I can make from this line.*End Edit*
From my non-local fabric store, Stash in Walla Walla I kinda go crazy. These lovely ladies stock the modern fabrics and I wish that I had a store just like them to work on all the day long. The following purchases are from them.
I am completing a fabric swap at the beginning of next month. The chosen color is green. We will exchange 12" squares. Mini stash building. I purchased this lovely green.
There has been a blog hop that is celebrating the next marketing holiday, Valentines Day. While I'm not a fan of this I do love the colors and some of the projects. So I got a little bit of these three colors. YUM!
I picked a few charm packs from Stash which was reasonable. But when I went to the newest local fabric store, Finishing Touches Quilt, on Saturday she is still have a sale on the pre-cuts. Oh how could I walk away from the Central park Jelly Roll. Rarrrr! I flipped through the charm pack and am not happy with the animal line. No matter. I will eventually add the oranges of this line to "my orange" quilt stash.
Yeah for fabrics!
And today I've even started using some of these. . lots of projects in progress.
