One of my sewing ladies came over yesterday for tea and a chance to shop my stash or at least my tote of ready to give away fabric... she got a nice fat reusable grocery sized bag of good stuffs. I am getting closer to my goal of fitting everything in my closet. Closer but no cigar yet!
Today we are going to my favorite "local" quilt shop, about 45 minutes away. (I wanted her to shop the free stuff before we went) Unlike my usual scrappy style, this is what I call a "planned" quilt, the Labyrinth Walk. I have 3 out of 4 perfect fabrics and need to find the 4th. I have my bag packed with the perfects and a couple of the rejects.
By fabric moratorium rules, I am allowed to get needed fabric provided I shopped stash first which I did. In order to help control my impulses to buy fabric, this shop prefers cash and so I will bring just enough for what I need. Yeah -- she takes cards too but too easy to get in trouble that way.
I am reminding myself that this is not a FART (fabric acquisition road trip). Wish my luck in the search for the perfect fabric and resisting the other temptations that might come my way.
