I wasn't planning on shopping this weekend but I got an email from the LQS~ a hundred bolts 40% off. I came home with several yards!!! Moda Bistro is so cute, now that I'm home I wish I would have got a few more yards to make new kitchen curtains with it. I think placemats will be fun if I can find a nice pattern.

I went to my LQS and bought fabric for 2 crib quilts I'm planning. With summer here they may wait a few months to get pieced. But I have the fabric so whenever the weather turns hot or I get the itch. I've sewn up the cut ends, washing and pressing the fabric so it will be ready when I am.

I'd better not fabric shop this weekend, but here's one online order I received yesterday from www.embtreasures.com (Embroidery Treasures). A Google search led me there to buy Quilter's Delight Pin Covers and this set of fabrics just fell in my cart -- and I thought that only happened at brick and mortar stores! It's Lakehouse Hydrangea collection. One Christmas I made DIL and SD (Stepdaughter) table runners from the purple and raspberry print. I didn't get enough fabric for one for me and never found it again. It was fate -- this color is better for my house and I have a rose hydrangea by my front door. Besides, I paid $9 a yard for theirs, $5.99 a yard for this. Hmm, maybe I can fabric shop with the money I saved.

Went to a thrift store this AM and found a large box of fabrics pieces for $1.00 and a large plastic bag full for 75cents. I subdivided it into my pile, my mothers pile, school art donation, and neighbors pile. Some of the prints are the 60's/70's. Everyone benefits.
