Yesterday I went to Quilts 'N Silks where they had 30% off all regular priced fabric and had many bolts on sale for $3.00/yd. I had a grand old time drooling over all the fabric. In the end 16 yards and 3 panels came home with me. The three fabric in the back row are from the Garden Inspiration collection. I'm planning on using these to make the Chocolate Covered Cherries pattern which I bought a couple weeks ago. Two of the three panels are from the Emergency (fire truck, police cars) fabric collection which I had purchase a FQ bundle a while ago and the other panel is a wildlife/outdoorsy type panel which I'm hoping to use for a quilt for a friend of ours.In the first row I got to patriotic fabrics to use in some QOV quilts, some black for a future black, white and red quilt, the purple and cream I'm thinking of using for another Chocolate Covered Cherries quilt and the blue with yellow I'm not sure what pattern I'll use yet. I absolutely love this purple fabric. I was trying to decide what other color to use with the purple and cream and just couldn't decide so I'll look in my stash and see if there is something or maybe take a swatch of it with me when I go to Patchwork Sampler tomorrow or Thursday. (They're going out of business and have been putting fabrics 40% off every week).
I finished cutting fabric for Snow Wonderland. Unfortunately the very last one I was short by a 5" square. So I'll see if Patchwork Sampler or another quilt shop nearby has that fabric. I did start making the snowball blocks and I've gotten these three done so far. I'd really like to be able to get 2-3 blocks done every day. For those of you who are new to my blog, I'm making this for my friend and co-worker. She's gone through a pretty rough time the last month and she's also given me some great advice about diabetes since my test results a couple weeks ago show I'm pre-diabetic. If anyone has any advice on diabetes (especially food choices), I'd love to hear from ya.
