Sometimes we need to buy just ‘because’. 🙂

I went to my LQS 4 times this week and didn’t even look at fabric. I needed thread and found out they could get my machine looked at within a week so that was 2 round trips of 20 miles each since I went home to get my machine. 🤷‍♀️ Then my machine was done a few days later, so I picked it up. An employee heard me talking to another customer about me making donation tops for our church group and she said she had a big bag of strips, triangles, and other cut offs from projects and asked me if I would like it for my church quilts. I said sure and she planned to bring it to the shop today, Well, I went today and she forgot to bring it. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But I didn’t buy any fabric and I don’t plan to buy anything when she does have the bag for me, Lol!

I finished a 60” by 80” top for the church group. There were several colors of 1 1/4” WOF strips donated to my church group. The note said for color wheels or placemats. Each color had 6 strips. I added some extra strips to get the strip sets to 6.5” and used them as centers of 12 of the Shoofly type of blocks. It was a great stash buster.
