AQS Purchases

I could NOT walk away from all the cute children's quilt patterns I saw at the AQS show.  
I snagged just a few (gross understatement, LOL)





I thought about trying to embroider some dish towels for hubby for Christmas.  
I bought two different patterns.  
I thought some would be cute in the camper too.


I love this book and can't wait to make things from here too.


 I bought some cute cat fabric and found some awesome Petosky stone fabric too.
The rock hound in me could not walk away.  I used to hunt for these every summer up north.


I hope to start on a new baby quilt soon that will be using these colors.  
I need 1/2" and 1" rick rack for the quilt as well. 
I found some half inch so bought that.  Now to look for the 1".  
Anyone got a source for that??


By far the BEST find of the show is this original Heather Ross Mendocino!!  
I could not believe my eyes when I spotted this. 
It is the original NOT the reprinted stuff! 
 Could it get any better?  
You bet, it was on the clearance table too!


Stopped at Stitched Studio and found these beauties.


VERY productive trip.
I can't wait to dig in and sew.

I really need my "have to" projects to be done, LOL.

Any dinosaur blocks? I want to make dinosaur quilts for my obsessed niece and nephew.

What fun stuff you got! I need to stay away from shows. I would do serious damage to my CC!!

What a great haul! I also have the Quilted Cats and Dogs book. I haven't had a chance to make anything out of it yet. I think I've seen the large Ric rac on a spool, by the yard at my lqs. Not sure of the size though. I'll keep my eye out for you. Love the green hounds tooth fabric. I've used it in several quilts.

I was the same way and have her book. Made a couple things from it today. Eager to see what you do.
