Lots of Loot.....

....i had two packages waiting for me when i arrived home on Friday....First was my super terrific "Little Scottie" quilt from Karin and the girls @ A Scarlett Thread in McDonough, GA.....
Thanks again girls.......i'll see you in August!!

Then the other package was the fabric i ordered from.....www.connectingthreads.com.....
What a mixed bag that was......

i had to touch, feel, look at and yes.....even sniff, all my new goodies....
( i love that new fabric smell)



This was a fat quarter bundle called....Impressions of Kyoto.....

The main colors are chocolate brown, turquoise and mauve.....with a little beige, cream and greenish-blue thrown in......

Not my usual wild and crazy colors......but, i'm trying to branch-out....become more diverse......expand my out-look....
(Help me!!......Please!!....it's getting deep!!)

Now the big decision is.......what design/pattern to use.....!!??




Then this is the 30's reproduction fabric that came in a Kit for a wall hanging....windmill designs....don't know.....may use it for a baby quilt......

See......back to those bright colors......can't help myself!!

Also, had two charm packs.......but.....i cut them up for tablerunners before i took these pictures.....i'll photo the tablerunners when they're done.....

Well...have to run to the New River Park and earn some money to pay for my addiction to fabric.....

Have a great Monday.....it's the best day of the week....!
Maybe some day i'll believe that...!!>>??

  1. How exciting! The quilt is beautiful! Oooooo, all that fabric. I can't wait to see what beautiful item you will make of it!

    I thought of you this morning. I went out early in my jammies & sat on the porch drinking my coffee. I don't have the view that you do, but I truly enjoy times like that. Just me & God & all His beautiful surroundings He gave me to enjoy while here!


    I hope you have a good day!

  5. I'm drooling here, wish that had been in my mailbox. I haven't bought any quilting material in quite a long time. I've been trying to use up what I have. However, I plan on some holidays this summer and fall. That's probably going to be my downfall.

    Enjoy all your goodies.
