My goodness things happen here when I take a short break. Spent some time at my new home, and I can honestly say that semi moving helps to deter fabric buying. You will be happy for no details on this one.
TammyK: any luck on the dryer sheet incident? Hope all turned out well for you.
I noticed some big additions:
OK: A brand new baby grand daughter, how wonderful love those tiny precious arrivals, also reasons for new fabric. None of us would object on this!
Emma: How's the new Janome relationship? Are you just loving it? I would be. Also, I'm very curious about the hidden story by the pool.
Paper Princess: loved your new quilt and want to know how you passed up on a garage sale! And thanks for the sacrifice, it does work to keep things interesting.
Sandy: I like your thinking on the cost evaluation of LA's and stash. Perspective is important. Right?.
The quilt show I'm going to is a Home Machine Quilting Show. Lots of LA's to check out. Maybe it'll quite the quest I have for a LA or maybe it'll start a fire.
There is a lot of pioneer heritage in Utah and a good base of quilters. I toured a museum in SLC last year with my mom and sisters and many, many old quilts were on display. I was the only one interested in them and could of spent an entire day there. (Don't remember the name of the place). I found it very informative and quite wonderful. It's hard to imagine how all that intricate work was done by hand.
I can't remember who said what, but there was something about planting season and I remember well growing up on a farm and how we all fixed meals and took them to the field, lots of work. Someone bought 10 yards but refrained from more and refreshed the stash. So understandable!! Refrained and refreshed..kind of like that.
