The Weeping Angel is spectacular!!!!!

All, tonight I vow to do stash diving that I have put off for weeks now. Just realized I signed up for a class tomorrow for my first hand sewn wool project. I hope that doesn't start a whole new fabric collecting bug.

I don't want to buy fabrics for this project, I want to use my stash but I really am liking all the fabrics folks are putting together with Bonnie's colors. Not sure if I can find enough in those colors in my stash so may have to alter. I know for sure that I don't have a yellow close to that one. What to do. The class tomorrow is near a fabric store that is having a premoving fabric sale so it will be very tempting not to drop in there.

Lisa, DROP IN! Don't miss that sale! who knows what bit of remnant might be in the bottom of the basket waiting for you! Besides, if you make yourself use fabrics from your stash that aren't 'right' to you, you will be irritable about if for the whole mystery. Right?

I am so excited about this mystery quilt! I am trying to finish up my Celtic Solstice in time to start the Grand Illusion. I am so glad that there is a group here participating in the mystery! I have picked out all my colors except the black and neutrals.

Amazing job on the weeping angel!

The angel is really wonderful. After googling 'Whovies' and 'weeping angel', and seeing that beautiful quilt block, I'm thinking maybe I should watch that show.

It is an awesome show w/ great story lines. Each show can stand on there own, but they are interconnected and I would highly recommend starting w/ the first 2005 season of the new ones. Especially if you watch some random ones and like them.

I was out there a few weeks ago and Cozy Quilts was going to be moving sometime in the future. I bet it's getting close - that may be the shop with the pre-moving sale.
