I had the most amazing time at the Festival of Quilts on Friday. Despite promises not to spend too much and to simply go and have a look, I came home with very very heavy bags and a very light purse *rolleyes*. Will I ever learn? But then who can resist things like these???
I definitely want to get some more of these linens. I spied that Courtney at
Seamstar has these at a fantastic price so I think I shall be purchasing a few more
Unfortunately Mandy was not around when we called in at Simply Solids but her hard working husband(??) was there to help us out. I bagged me a rainbow of FQ's plus some dark grey for a quilt top appearing here soon. My mind actually went blank when I got there as to what I had intended to buy, so watch out Simply Solids - I am sure another order will be coming your way very very soon!!
Threads were definitely the order of the day. As well as these beautiful Cosmo threads (which I have heard wonderful things about) I also treated myself to a fabulous presentation case of Aurifil embroidery threads - great for all the hand quilting I intend on doing. These are just some of my purchases - more were made but I can't admit to just how much I bought so will leave it there *blushes*
Thank you so much, Julie & Lesley, for an absolutely fabulous day. I am now brimming with new ideas and enthusiasm for my WIP's
Oh and I may just have signed up to another Block of the Month - one for Amelia this time *grins*
So, I will leave it at that and go back to finishing the binding on my Joel Dewberry quilt so that can be another ticked off the list!
