New Stash Items & More Snow Wonderland Snowballs

Here are the new stash items that I purchased at Patchwork Sampler today. The yardage was 40% off and all but one was bought with plans to use for QOV blocks/quilts. I'm also planning on using the FQs for QOVs (they were 25% off). The Skillbuilder Mastery book (also 25% off) is the best find of the day! I always have difficulty deciding how to quilt my tops, especially individual blocks. This book gives a bunch of ideas!!! There are also pre-printed "panels" for sale where you can practice doing some quilting designs. I haven't bought these though. The Occasions book is by Whimsicals. (They designed the Snow Wonderland and Choco-latte fabric lines which I'm finding I really like...totally opposite of the brights I love to use. But I'm looking at ALL types of fabrics with an open mind. There was a time when I didn't like civil war or 30s and I've made quilts with each of them. So never say never!)

I've made more progress on Snow Wonderland today. I completed 7 snowball blocks. I think I have about 7 more to go and then I'll start on the stars. Neither store I went to today had the tan stripe fabric that I'm short on so I'll most likely have to order it online. I didn't buy the backing with the kit so I'll order it at the same time. So one snowball won't get finished right away.
