Spring Break Goodies

Last week my daughter was on spring break (why can't schools coordinate their spring breaks?!) so we headed to Montana skiing.  Guess I was having withdrawals from sewing (this is the explanation I'm going with) which led to purchases of sewing supplies.

I had to - it was on sale!

It all started with Sew, Mama Sew's $6 sale.  I stocked up on a few favorites and a few new-to-me fabrics such as this Anna Maria Horner voile.  I figured since I actually managed to make some 3-D items (that I never thought I could make), I might one day try my hand at sewing clothes.

My first purchases of Liberty of London

While I was on Sew, Mama Sew's website I treated myself to some Liberty of London (NOT on sale) to see what all the fuss is about.  These blues will make a great addition to the Marmalade quilt, don't you think?  The top fabric is my favorite so far.

new quilting books

Two books I have been excited to receive - A Quilting Life by Sherri (who signed my book with the sweetest note) and Patchwork Please! by Ayumi were waiting for me when I got home.  A very nice Easter gift to myself.

fun fabric

Did you notice my fabric additions are neatly folded on comic book boards?  This last batch is Mod Century by Jenn Ski for Moda.  I gave my mom charm packs of this line to make her peace quilt.  I fell in love with the fabric when I saw the yardage at Main Street Quilting last week and bought a bunch to make my grandson a quilt.  

I guess I better get busy sewing!  Thanks for stopping by,
