Friday, I took the day off work to work on some things around the
house. Once I decided to take the day off though, I made plans to meet
up with Lynn from the CMQG for breakfast and a trip to Joann's and a
local quilt shop that is closing. There are 2 quilt shops in my area
that announced their closings within 10 days of each other. Of course,
there are a few that have opened in the last year and a half so we are
not lacking for shops in any way.
This is what I picked
up! Fabric for the cow quilt. The strip is the accent in the blocks and
will be the binding. And of course, I read the pattern wrong and didn't
get enough of the pink and the black so I will have to go back. Darn!
lol
I
also picked up some awesome strips and ric rak fabric for bindings. And
since I haven't won the 100 blocks issue yet, I got one of those at
Joann's.
And nothing used this week.
Fabric added this week: 8.50
Fabric added year-to-date: 138.72
Fabric used this week: 0.58

I think that Maisy was upset that I didn't bring her anything back.

I like all the stripes. Better get that cow quilt cut out so you can make it back to 0 by the end of the year...; )
Can't wait to see that ric rak fabric on a binding.....it will look really neat! I may have to go visit a Joann's and check out the magazines....A good use for the coupon!
Great fabric finds. I love all stripes and dots. What shops are closing?
oohhh stripey!
Ooooo! Love the ric-rac for bindings! And the stripe you picked out for the cows is going to be a great accent.
Poor maisy. But I love the fabrics you purchased. That cow print is great!!
Only 8.5 yards? That shows a lot of self control.
Looks like a wonderful shopping trip! I just love how stripe fabric looks used for binding.
