First, Sew, Mama, Sew! was having a sale last weekend, so I was drooling over the fabric online. After seeing these Habitat by Jay McCarroll prints in this Oh, Fransson! quilt, I had to get my hands on some. Pretty cool, yes? I love the combo with the Kona solids--still need to get those.
Feeling confident about my online shopping, I checked out. Then boyfriend suggested an impromptu trip to a LQS (he had no idea I was already fabric shopping online, hehe). Umm, yes please! How could a girl say no?!?
At the store, I decided to add to my Innocent Crush by Anna Maria Horner stash. These are some of my favorite fabrics right now. I am thinking about using these for my month in the {Sew} Beautiful Bee. String quilt perhaps?
Oh, and then I couldn't pass up these fabrics from the Aviary 2 fabric line by Joel Dewberry. Yummy!
At this point in the shopping trip, I was feeling pretty good. I had several great half yards of some yummy fabrics. So I made my way to the front counter, paid, and was ready to go. As we were about to walk out the door, the boyfriend mentions he would really like a quilt made out of "these cool fabrics." He was talking about the gray and green prints from the new Ty Pennington line Impressions. I couldn't tell him no, so we came home with these guys too.
Moral of the story--Fabric retail therapy ROCKS! :)
Oh, and I have the day off from work today (which reminds me, THANK YOU so much for all the kind words regarding my last post!) and you can bet I will be squeezing some sewing/quilting time into tonight's agenda. Have a fabulous weekend all!
xo, Megan
