New Fabrics

On Friday I took a detour to Hancock Fabrics to see if they still have the fabrics I need for the Jeff Quilt. Of course, I was only able to find two of them, so I bought half a yard of each (they were even on sale) as well as two 99 cent fat quarters.

  

I love Halloween fabric but don't have any. This is the start of my Halloween stash!!



I also love Christmas fabric but only have some scraps that were donated to my cause. Now I'm starting a Christmas fabric stash, too!!

I have been slacking on my projects, but today I'm washing a bunch of fabric so it's ready to be used. I will make the Block of the Month blocks, and I want to assemble the quilt top for the Mother's Day quilt to at least show Mom I am working on a project for her! This weekend was a waste. On Saturday I went to a parade with my parents, and then I went home and back to sleep for the rest of the day. I slept late today and am very unmotivated. I managed to cook spaghetti, clean the dishes, and am still working on laundry... my To-Do-List is almost a mile long and most of it involves cleaning or quilting... I even have "bathe the dog" on the list. Hm. I think I'll play the Sims 2. Honestly, I think I'll just go back to bed.

Desert Sage Quilt Guild meeting 4.28.2011

My favorite time of the meeting is the Show-And-Tell. This time a lady showed a bunch of quilts her mother made and shared stories about them. I wish I'd caught her name to give her credit for quilts in the pics I'm posting.

I saw this quilt at the quilt show in April.

 

 

 

The lady who made this created the design herself. I like it. Another take on a fish themed "man quilt."

 

 

 

 

I want to attend a meeting of the Magic Valley Modern Quilt Guild to see how they do things. I want  more demonstration and learning, as much as I enjoy the Show-And-Tell at the Desert Sage meetings. The next meeting is on a Saturday after I'm at the 24 hour Relay for Life, so I think I will have to catch June's meeting at their regular time on Thursday.
