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.

Tula Pink Fabric Swap

I forgot to mention that I have also been playing swap mama for 

7 rounds of Tula Pink fabric swapping! 

 The last round (4/5) we received 56 different fabrics!  

All the fabrics in rounds 1-5 and NO repeated fabrics!! 

 We are currently on rounds 6/7 and will receive 36 fabrics 

with none being repeated from the previous rounds.  

How fun is that?

 We are even getting some of the more HTF fabrics too.  

Some people have been asking about this pattern.  

She is a designer from Michigan.  

Here is the pattern.  

You can find it on the Pineapple Press site here, 

if you would like to join me in making some paper dolls!

It is a beautiful, sunny, warm day here today.  

I hope you are enjoying your day too!
