A Little Something to Talk About

posted Sunday, 27 April 2008

I anticipated hanging my head in shame this week over a stash report with numbers moving in the wrong direction.  One of my quilt groups had a mini shop hop planned for yesterday.  I knew I couldn’t visit three shops without buying something.

 

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to go with the group.  I did meet them at the first shop, which is only ten minutes from the office.  I’m not sure if the ability to fabric shop at lunch is a good thing or bad thing.  We’ll call it good and leave it at that.

 

I also dropped off my quilt at a second quilt shop for transport to the Sauder Village Quilt Fair.  They take quilts out for $2 each, which saved me a two hour round trip. 

 

I didn’t buy anything at either shop, but I have to go back to the second shop Tuesday to pick up my tickets for the show.  Sauder Village also has a quilt shop, so this week has stash increasing potential.

 

After I got home and finished pouting about not going on the shop hop, I sewed these two blocks for the May QOV meeting.  I used a whopping quarter yard of fabric.
