It's Been A Long Week!

I've been unusually quiet I know but life has gotten crazier than usual. 
 Last Sunday I went to the Checker Distributors open house with Cori and Pauline
 I bought a few fabric cards and thought I would share what I bought.






 I am planning on swapping these whales


 And the "It's a boy" fabric on the right


 And the Madrona Road, if anyone is interested.


Now here is the naughty part. 
 I also bought 2 bolts of fabric!!  
YIKES!! 
 One was a bolt of Kona white which I use all the time and 
the other one was so freaking adorable I just couldn't pass it up!!

Have you people seen Sarah Jane's new line Out to Sea??  
I really love it.  
I just remembered I did not take a picture of my fabric so it is night time and my pic is kind of bad but if you go here you will see it in it's true color.
 (The white spot was from my light)



I believe the pirate girls and the Narwhals will eventually have to join in the fun too.

While we were at the open house I got to rub elbows with someone most everyone knows too.


Alrighty then, this takes me up to the rest of the week now. 
 I left to go to Grand Rapids on Thursday afternoon and will pick up there tomorrow.

Oh, that is so cool. I've never seen "cards" like that before.

I have that Siamese cat print of course!

Like the Madrona Road. A bit Joel Dewberry like.

Yikes, she's buying fabric by the bolt NOW!
So fun Pam. Looks like fun. I like the Madrona. What does the total fabric on a card work out to be?

Rachel said...

OH, love those whales!! I definitely have my eye on the Out To Sea fabrics. My oldest is a mermaid fan...Can't wait to see it all in person! I am jealous of your shopping trip (but you SURELY deserved it!)!

I'm so jealous of all your goodies. I wish there was a place like that near me.

The orange and green look great together don't they?!! And I have seen the new Out to Sea and have been thinking I need to get some fat 1/4's of a couple of different colors to make my grand daughters the little duffles that I am making the grands with these colors. Have to make two different or there will be disagreements on who's is who's! Had a great time Thursday night!
