Sunday Stash and MAQS Recap

I went to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt show last weekend, and believe it or not, I bought some fabric! lol

In addition to these super sweet repros, I also got some Lizzy and Tula, and a stencil set thing so I can improve my FMQ a little bit. I also got my first skeins of "fancy" yarn! (Aka not from Joann's/Michaels/AC Moore) I think these will become some really sweet Christmas-y socks!

I didn't actually take any photos of the actual show quilts, because I was distracted by another purchase, which is getting it's own post next week!

In the meantime, I'll tease you with the promise of a new quilt in the next couple of weeks. I'm turning these 30's prints into a quilt for my BFF's new baby. Who will probably be walking by the time it's finished. But at least I am SO much more inspired with this than the quilt I was working on for her before!

  5. I, too, attended the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. What I found that I loved is the new line by Pepper Cory called "Pepper Cotton". It is like a shot cotton but has a better hand. Pepper told us there would be additional colors available at the Spring Quilt Market. I like the big shows because you see a little bit of everything. I think your 'baby quilt' will be darling.
