I went to W*M for pictures yesterday...
This is what I came home with...I don't have a plan for any of it, but I got it all for $5, how could I possibly pass these pretty FQ's up?? I know I'm going to use the aliens and some of the blues for a quilt for DS...but I don't have a pattern - any ideas? Lets not mention that I'm in the middle of one right now, and still have to buy fabric for a gift quilt that I have to do before I touch the aliens...
I started my first quilt late August, this year...now I've got three more going on in various stages! I AM HOOKED!
Oh and here's another of DD working on her quilt...it's a real collaborative effort. She sews some, I sew some, she uses the foot pedal while I sew, I use the foot pedal while she sews, she irons some, I iron some. The only thing she hasn't had her hand in is cutting, I've done all of that.

Cheap FQ's!

How cute is she! I love your fabric. That will be a pretty quilt for your son. Lots of us do exactly what you did, buying fabric for a new one when we haven't finished the two or three we are working on. Just keep plugging!

You have become a collector just like the rest of us. We don't have a problem, we have a passion. Now if I could convince DH of that. Love your sewing buddy, she is cute.

Looks like someone is almost ready for her own machine.. I saw a darling small machine at WalMart yesterday for around $60, best of all it is a wonderful portable.. I'm just waiting to see reviews of it as it will be an amazing "take along" machine.
