These fabrics were decided upon for Forest Friends project. I tried to find a sashing/border/back that was more "forest animals", but that wasn't to be. I do like the middle fabric for this job. The top fabric will be for the frames around the blocks and the stripe for the binding.
Being with Kerry boosted me into several purchases. All good Kerry! This will be for a future stamped cross stitch project. I have one that is Zoo Animals which will work nicely. I'm not so sure that the green wordy fabric will be used, but one never knows.
Next purchase at the shop hop Kerry and I did during my trip brought with it the backing for the Bees On The Farm project. I thought it was just a wall hanging, but not reading the pattern further had me purchase enough for a 69 inch square project. Later, when reading the recipe, there is a wall hanging that is of course much smaller, there was an insert in the pattern that showed what the kit it came with contained; just enough for a wall hanging. Going to be some extra backing, all good.
I picked up this very flexible light that attaches to a sewing machine. It can run on a chargeable battery pack. Wow the light it puts out is incredible. This I will take to Maryland on my next trip to get rid of the darkness that surrounds my Mom's machine when it gets dark.
Next I found a piece of flannel for my Cats in Pajamas project. It is one of my UFOs for this year. These PJs need to be small so I am looking for small scale fabrics. This I think will fill the job. I have more flannels than I need so I can pick and choose which fabric works best.
I found this Spring project that Kerry and I both liked. We combed through our combined stash to reach the 42 5 inch squares. We might just have enough squares; needing only the background fabric to put this one together.
I took advantage of the Quilt Show special (30% off) picking up two templates for the Accuquilt Go. It is a new way of thinking needing to be built into my thought process when cutting shapes needed in projects. These two will be good to add to the few I have currently. The 2.25 is what I use all the time for binding. The three sizes (1, 1.5, 2) gives me a good start in sizes needed for most projects I gravitate to. We shall see how this goes =^.^=
Lastly, these Christmas ornaments are perfect for my tree and Kerry's tree. Both of us have lots of sewing related ornaments on our trees. Kerry won't get hers until Christmas! The tweezers are real nice too. I will be adding it to my hand sewing tool bag.
My trip isn't over until Tuesday so come back and see what happened the rest of my visit.
