I've been doing good on my fabric buying, still getting a monthly "small" amount of Civil War colors I need for a variety of projects. I admitting to doing this early in the year. Thinking maybe this year's Bonnie Hunter may also use these fabrics. There is a fabric store I love about an hour away and it has a really great deal if you buy $15 worth a month for 10 months you get a $30 credit. The prices are low as they are and sale items count in the month totals. Her backs sell for 12-14-16/yard for current fabrics and I am planning on using the credit for a back. I am further justifying my purchases that I am sharing with another person on the boards....
However, looks like I have locked in on a used Long Arm for sale that dwarfs my fabric budget
Otherwise I am still working away on my current project which I am calling "Tropical Eclipse: Eye Protection Necessary" it is one of the fun projects I am doing for me from Hawaiian prints I got at the thrift stores etc. The fabrics are nice sturdy clothing weight bark cloth (mostly cotton) and some textured but slippery poly/blends. While I am not enjoying the slippery blends, I am enjoying this block a lot and am writing up some directions/measurements. Is perfect for jellyroll sized WoF ctus. Should have some pictures of my happy but glaring blocks and a set of less distracting mockups for the directions next week.
