Eye candy

Since I have not done any sewing the past couple days I thought I would show some of my recent purchases. I have gotten an itch for pre-cuts lately, and Missouri Star Quilt Co. has cooperated by having some of my faves as Deal-of-the-day!

There is a Layer Cake of Hello Betty that I got for the Pinwheel quilt along with Rachel @ ps I Quilt. I got the two charm packs of Verna for the Whirlygig quilt along by Cathy the Turtle Hill Quilter. When I ordered it I gave into the temptation to get the Simple Abundance charm pack since I have been unable to find this fabric in any LQS. Good thing I did because this was the last on in stock! The Make Life jelly roll was on sale earlier in the week and I plan on making a Jelly Filled quilt with it. I saw today that a LQS is getting in the line so I can get fabric there for the border and binding. Last in in pile of eye candy is the Hope Valley charms and roll. I wanted some Hope Valley so bad, but didn't want to order without seeing in person, and again the 11 LQS I have visited in the last month didn't have it, so when I found these pre-cuts at Fresh Squeeze Fabrics I almost cried! (looks like Randi might be out of them now)

And yes, that's 11 LQS in the last month. I decided to get out and explore the areas shops so I have taken two mini-tours plotting the route via google maps. One I hit at the perfect time because they were one week from moving and had a great clearance sale! I got a couple different fabrics from Katie Jump Rope line by Denyse Schmidt for $2.50 Yrd! They ended up in the Road to Spring that is in progress. I also found these 4 Lizzy Dish prints on sale there. I have no idea what I will do with them. Any ideas?

  6. I gotta go with Lisa M. regarding your Lizzy Dish fabric. Perfect for summer placemats, napkins, or even tablecloth for the picnic table.

  9. I really like your purchases! I had to look around Missouri Star Quilts & Fresh Squeezed Fabrics after I saw what you have. They both are great! I know I'll be going back again when I have more time.
