Need to replenish my supply of blacks. I may trade some bright colored fabrics with my neighbor as she has plenty of blacks/whites...will see how she feels about that.
The inspiration for my next project is in the link below...first pic.......thank you, mayme. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load...220812578.html |
Hi burnsk.
Mayme called the quilt Bright Blocks for Brooke. I don't know the pattern name. I will be winging it...just going by the picture. It does look like a pattern from Quilter's Cache called Squares within Squares 2, although the center square is a bit different. Mayme used a 4-patch for the center instead of a solid color. http://www.quilterscache.com/S/Squar...res2Block.html |

Another quilt on my bucket list. :lol: |
Did not join because I am stingy with my money anyway.

I was out of town and finishing a quilt. So I purchased 1/3 yard for the binding. All my other purchases have been thread or batting. So far so good. I am slowly making room in my sewing room. I REFUSE to spread past it.

I've posted a couple of more quilts. They are at: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-122539-1.htm
Hope you give them a look. Thanks |
joining.
totally went crazy with fabric & such when I came back into quilting in March. I have several projects in mind. I should have all I need to finish them. I may need to buy some solid backgrounds. Maybe not. Looked at budget yesterday to see if there was scootch room to buy something in classifieds, spotted "$48.00" storage payment. The storage shed is 5 x 10 x 8. Filled to the ceiling with FABRIC and crafts. :shock: :shock: :shock: I could go "shopping" and not spend a dime. :oops: No new fabric until the shed is emptied. :cry: |
gah. Shopped at the shed, brought home 1 18 gal tote of blankets & fabric, sweaterbox of lace etc notions, a duffle with a Q UFO 25th anniversary gift for BFF dunnamany years ago, a banker's box of sewing notions & new artist canvases, a 15x12 box of empty boxes & bins. Cardboard is tossed, all is trashbagged & dated (until the spiders die).
THEN I STILL went to JoAnn's. Debbie Mumm 50%, bought 2 1 yd pcs for baby quilts, I had 2 50% coupons, bought 1 yd complimentary blender of another not on sale Quilt fabric. bought 1/4 yd strip, saving up for card trick. I never buy less than 1/2 yd (yay, me!). Have two baby gifts coming up & have no suitable fabric. :shock: :? :roll: 8-) |
I'm in for this month. :)

But I think I really should join this moratorium. Just went to a QS that is closing and all fabric is 30% off. Did I ever get in trouble! |
