I had placed an order with eQuilter that showed up of Friday before the shop hop which was quite good since I wanted to bring the focus fabric for Amy's quilt with me. I also had a discount coupon so I ordered the 2 fabrics shown here for the stash. Someday I will make a King Arthur quilt for ME!!
So the focus fabric is in the center and all of the new fabrics I bought for Amy's quilt are around it. I am so excited to begin it!
Let me tell you a little secret, I began Amy's quilt on Tuesday when I stayed home with this blasted cold. I designed it on my trusty graph paper and boy am I glad I have that to refer back to because it is a little complicated. I pulled some additional fabric from my stash to use and so I should have enough without buying any additional fabric. I realize that I don't have a lot of purple but I am hoping I can use what I have without buying more. When I get a little farther along I will show you what I have. The quilt calls for 80 blocks and I have almost half of them finished!! It is really turning out to be a spectacular quilt.
I have to make soup for another fundraiser and then some pumpkin pies for my friend from Brazil that loves pumpkin but will not be here for Thanksgiving, so probably not much sewing tonight! Maybe I'll take a picture of the food! LOL.

love the fabric you bought, especially those pumkin leaves.
I can't wait to see Amy's quilt, the fabrics are fabulous.
Is this the right time to tell you that I've been to Tintagel, one of the places King Arthur is supposed to have resided in.
Love and hugs Gina xx
Well, if you start drooling and get a glazy look in your eyes, you can always blame it on a snotty brain instead of quilt-o-holic syndrom.
(Glad to hear that you're getting better!)
wow all your blogs look great and I love the green and turqoiuse material really yummy
I hope you feeling much better now.
Not ready to show the blocks for Amy's quilt yet huh? Keeping us in suspense! The colors are lucious!
A shop hop, thats a great idea! And a lot of nice fabrics! Love the idea of a King Arthur quilt and looking forward to it when it will be finished! :)
