An older quilt guild member was cleaning out her stash and had a rummage sale. I bought way too much. She was a persuasive seller. LOL I usually start looking at neutrals. Most of what she was selling was civil war type fabrics. They aren't as popular right now, but it is hard to find a sale on them... and I love them.

I sewed 6 days last week. I sewed with my Friday group this week. It was nice to visit with them and helps with motivation.
I am working on a cross stitch sampler designed by Melissa at pinker n punkin - I think it can be found here . Yippee last block. Now, I have to go back and check all the finishing details and decide how I want it displayed. I am so excited. It is so cute

ReplyDeleteYour new neutrals are a great addition to your stash - never too many neutrals ;) I love the one underneath, very pretty. Bravo for finishing a quilt, and the cute embroidery! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's all you bought? Fortitude! I tried to reduce my CW (and CWish) stash. That led to making some great quilts and acquiring more. That's just how I roll.
ReplyDeleteI love the Civil War repros too!
ReplyDeleteYou did pretty well at minimizing the fabric purchases. Neutrals are always a good addition. Congrats on finishing off the needlwork piece. You've been moving along on several fronts lately.
ReplyDeleteI bet that cross stitch is pretty. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
