Not That I Needed More Fabric ...

I just went to look ... really I did!

I found these goodies at the

February Fabric Blowout Sale, Nashua, NH

Still happening tomorrow.
If you are interested and live close enough, click the above link.

These are brand new 

Porcelain Charm Packs

marked down.

I scooped these right up and found some beautiful
pink, red and ivory tonal yardage 

to sew with them.

There was only one left of these and I am sure it must now be gone.

The yardage was $3 and $5 a yard

How could I resist?

It was like an indoor yard sale run by a few nearby quilt shops.

I found these different aida cloth pieces 

that appealed to the newbie cross stitcher in me

There is an interesting panel under there, too.

"Bless This Home"
by Emily McGlothlen
for Henry Glass Fabrics.

Nutmeg and I are are quite contented with our new stuff.

My hubby even bought a couple of yards of fabric
although he is yet to sew a quilt.

It is good to have a hubby who understands that
collecting fabric and making quilts are two different things.

How I am Spending My Summer Vacation ~ Part 3

Getting ready to get Back-to-Sew!

Moving back into my sewing room is going well.

I am still organizing, although I have done some sewing.

Had to make sure my machine was up and running after she moved back in! 

While sorting my  huge stash of fabrics and old magazines and patterns,

I found this gem ...

American Patchwork and Quilting, April 2008, Issue 91

This was a great issue.

I love the cover quilt, which is called "Two of A Kind"

and in featured in the 30's prints l

and also in soft summer batiks.

The pattern is a interesting variation of the Card Trick block.

The cutting and layout makes this an easy sew.

I really want to make this quilt!

I pulled the fabrics in the photo from my 30's stash.

Th fabrics for the blocks and background is the bottom row. 

The top row in the photo shows two possible options for the border and binding,

one red and one blue.

I have not decided which I will use.

Suggestions and opinions always welcome.  

Here is a photo taken about a week ago before I moved my sewing machine back in.

As you can see, my quilty kitties are already enjoying the new digs. 

A lot has been done since then.

Grand Re-Opening of My Sewing Room post coming soon!
