I've got a new project on the sewing table :D I have this huge stash of batik samples thanks to my favorite fabric sales rep. He brought me three boxes full of samples, said he wasn't selling this brand anymore and the boxes were taking up too much space in his store room. (His wife is not a quilter) I haven't made a dent in the stash even after two quilts, several table runners, pot holders, placemats, etc. and letting my quilting friends take what they wanted. But I'm working on it! Here's a hint at my next quilt....

wow. That's gonna be gorgeous!

I'd take the batiks too if I were you! No way I can afford them at the price the not-so LQS wants. And those are really pretty.

Please share pictures with us when your done, that is going to be beautiful.

Wish I had a friend like that.

Actually when I was a kid we knew a man who was a sale rep. for a candy company. We used to get all his date pulls, butterfingers, babyruths and whatever else he had a short or out of date.

Well my goodness, I would be glad to take some of that off your hands so you'll have more room... :)
