Okay, you know the weather has been pretty sucky when the front page head line in the local paper is: HereComes the Sun!
What else can you do when the weather is terrible?
I've been doing lots of sewing, but that's not all.
Even Mr. Moosebay noted that I had been spending too much time on-line when three packages arrived in one day.
Package One: A couple of Windham charm packs and a little tumbler ruler from the Missouri Star Quilt Co. The tumbler ruler was free as one of their Daily Deals. |
Package Two: The latest Jo Morton book. I got a good deal on eBay. The projects feature her Jo's Variety line, but I plan to use my Blue Variety fabrics. |
Okay, this was realllly BAD!!
Obviously I didn't need these fabrics--especially since I haven't touched my bundle of Blackbird Designs Blueberry Crumb Cake I picked up last year at Grubers.
Blueberry Crumb Cake fat eighth bundle. |
BUT...
I have been admiring salivating over the Blackbird Designs line that will be released later this year:
This won't be out until August, but I stumbled across a bundle of fat quarters for sale that had been picked up during Sample Spree at Spring Market.
I had to buy it because it was on sale with free shipping--what else could I do??
From package three:
I think I will be able to mix Blueberry Crumb Cake with Nature's Basket. In Nature's Basket: A large sampler print and 2 different tonal floral prints |
Stripes, plaids, and textures |
Sprigs, stars and a large plaid star. |
One small plaid with stars and large stars. |
Thankfully, the sun will be here soon and my credit card can cool off for a couple days.
You have been a very bad girl! I'm jealous of those Blackbird fabrics. I better start saving now! I'm working an election tomorrow for a little pin money so I can buy me some Pin Money by Pam Burda!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to order up some sunshine! lol! Great choices... can't go wrong with Jo Morton or Blackbird Designs! I have a stack of Bluberry Crumbcake too... I bought it for a project in their Weekend book... though I haven't started it yet... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I ordered that little tumbler template, too--too good to pass up! It must be "in the air"; I ordered some new thinner rulers --my older ones are way too thick and have contributed to my "bad cutting"--and 2 new dies from accuquilt for Go! Baby--and I must STOP IT! Love those Blackbird fabrics! Julierose
