Good for you, Pearl. There is plenty of room on the wagon for all of us.
Well, I finished up the 2nd quilt top made from a Craftsy kit. It is all ready for quilting. I saw Jenny Doan's tutorial this morning and knew I had just the right layer cake for it. So I went through my batik stash and found fabric for the sashing, and another one I am going to use for the cornerstones. Backing will also come from stash, but that will be chosen upon completion of the top. All the pieces and strips are cut and ready to go. I think I may take it with me for the sit & sew at my LQS on Monday. I may need to borrow some horse-blinders and a ball and chain to keep me in the back room away from the clearance bins ($5 a yard).

I made the mistake of looking at Missouri quilt company’s batik. My down fall. Needless to say, I bought lots. This is my New Year fabric buy, so no more buying for several months. Just need to start working on my projects.

Oh goodness, happylab..I know what you mean. They've got a FQ bundle I'm currently drooling over. I'm resisting so far. Take my hand and climb aboard the wagon again. We'll huddle in the back and pull a tarp over our heads. Lol..
