I fell off the wagon too, no excuse here either. I went with my sister and a friend down to the sew expo in Puyallup it was a distance away for us so could have used the travel exemption or the fact I never used my birthday exemption but really I just planned a budget a very small and firm one. Had a good time and didn't really feel the need to buy that much most was useful things for quilting. A chalk pencil and chalk pounce like Angela Walters uses along with a stencil for use on my MIL quilt. I bought some sale fat quarters for 1.50 six of those and one yard of red batik to go on my fall quilt I needed more red. And there is a place there that sells fabric by the pound and has a whole bunch of other odds and ends I picked up some Kona cotton remnants two in colors I was out of that I use for backgrounds and one in a blue that will work better with those 16 patch blocks I made. The yellow I shared earlier did work but it dominated the quilt not in a bad way but I did not want to have that much yellow. I tried some blue I had but it did not pop enough either so this works way better for the hourglass blocks and a stop border. It was funny I just guessed since I forgot to bring a sample with me and it was just about perfect. So overall I did okay some I needed a few FQ that I didn't. It was funny I kept saying I have enough fabric I don't need this and I would walk away. I also was thinking about coming home and writing this and I felt more accountable so thanks you guys were the good influence on my shoulder
