I didn't post my pictures of last weekend's finish here. The fan quilt is for a new friend who did me a huge favor. Front all from stash. I purchased the binding and the backing, but I bought less so I could use more stash.

Just got back from retreat. Purchased fabric for finishing projects. The 5th project wasn't completely planned-I really didn't think I'd get that far. So purchased fabrics for it. Then at the gift drawing I won 4 fat quarters. I didn't purchase any "can't live without it" fabrics althought tempted many times.
Had a great time.

That's lovely irishrose2. I like the back as much as the front.
Petthefabric you were busy. Glad you had fun. Congrats on your restraint.

Aloha, y'all. Both the trip and the birthday were fabulous. YES, I did go to the quilt stores, and YES I shopped. Got a rainbow from the Maui Quilt Shop (F4 bundle of yellow to orange, 1/2 yd bundles of red and pink, green, blue, and purple) I call it my Maui colors. I did find a beautiful batik kit for a pineapple applique top but it was too pricey for my taste. Guess what: DH bought it for me. He says it made my face light up and since it was my Birthday, he HAD to get it. LOVE THAT MAN!!!!! I also found a Jade thimble for my collection. So my shopping mojo was utterly fulfilled.
The bad news is that my Mom sent me $50 to use for something quilty AND I am going to a retreat this coming weekend. EEK. Will I be strong? It's not that I NEED anything.

Glad you had a great time Martina. And remember it's wise to listen to your mother! And the DH deserves an extra hug too!

Martina....so glad you had fun in Hawaii quilt shops. Your hubbie is a keeper. Such a lovely thing to do for you. Don't you just love it that they are so supportive? My DH sat in his truck while I shopped LQS...then he got curious and came in. He knows my love of polka dots and kept pointing out fabric. Lol... Spend mom's gift without guilt.
Petthefabric.... You got a lot done at your retreat. Glad you had a good time.

I actually did great while on vacation! Visited 4 shops- spent a total of $74.00
everything I purchased were needed for current projects except (2) gift items for secret santa packages.
It was fun, I browsed looking for what I needed and enjoyed my little finds/ purchases.
in the meantime back home I managed to pull about 6 yards from my stash to finish 2 of the quilts I’m working on.
Im feeling pretty productive, motivated
