Stash Report Week 19, 2013

Yesterday after the Mega Quilter and frame were moved out, I ran a couple of errands, went to a couple of quilt shops and went to a quilt show. The first quilt shop was Stitches where I got some tools for the Avante. I will show those later today when I get some pictures. :)

At the quilt show, I picked up a book of patterns for Civil War fabrics. I have quite a stash of reproduction fabrics and I think this will help me use some of them.

There were some great quilts and inspiration at the quilt show! I will show those later as well. :)

Since I was so close to Fabric Shack already, I just had to stop into the Village Family Restaurant for some peanut butter pie and lunch before heading to the Shack. Even though I was just at the Shack in April with the Southern Invasion, I didn't shop for projects because I wasn't sure what I was going to need. Today, I picked up the fabrics that I will need for a quilt for my cousin who lost everything in a fire in March.

I think that I am ending up with a fall colored quilt, but they are fairly masculine colors so it should be OK.

And here are all of the fabrics together. I have since pulled out a few that I felt muddied the others.

Now, I just need to find time to start cutting. I am using the Sweet Treat pattern from Judy L.

I love those fabrics. That will make a nice quilt! I'll have to peek at that book. I'll be headed to Martingale/Patchwork Place for a tour at the end of the month. I usually do it to see the quilts in the office and visit the hurt book room to pick up older titles at a deep discount.

It's really neat to see the book quilts up close and personal.

That is a nice book, but my word is finish :). How funny that you picked that pattern from Judy. I printed that off yesterday and thought about taming some scraps.
