That thump you heard was me sliding off the wagon! DH and I went to The Barnes Foundation (museum in Philadelphia with an absolute fabulous art collection that is magnificently displayed) so while in PA a trip over to the outlets was necessary (clothing tax free) and then onto Lancaster for a little fabric shopping. Didn't go hop wild as I had a list for finishing quilts and stocked up on blenders, neutrals and Kona solids. Once washed, I will post a pic! FYI: Sauder's Fabrics will close at end of year and join with Zook's in Intercourse. Log Cabin Quilts has doubled its size since I was there in 2013. The Old Country Store was as great as ever.

I don't think neutrals, blenders, and Kona warrants a thump, AUquilter. Those are staples. Gosh I'd hate to live in a place called Intercourse. All those bad jokes that pop up....
Happylab, those batiks are luscious. Easy to understand why they followed you home. Besides, it would be rude to send them back.
I decided to continue work on the infamous 9-patches, using stash for the alternating blocks. Looks like I will get 4 tops out of this batch of patches with a few left over. Any stash leaving the house for a good cause is a good thing. Plus it makes room for the box of CT fabrics still in original packaging.

I have been following along on this thread. Enjoy reading about all your falls and rises. I can't not participate because honestly I have No will power, I can do good for months because I really don't need anything; but if the right color fabric shows up I get it .
Altairss I saw your post about collecting fruits and veggies; I have the Farmer John Fat quarter set that I haven't used "yet". I would like to share part of it with you. Let me know how big of a piece you need and if there are certain ones you want.

[QUOTE=happylab;7335068]Ellie, I hope you enjoy your free classes from Crafty. I was wondering if that was a one day only thing to sign up for or is the classes still offered?

Always check in with your quilty friends first.
What do you have and what do you need?
How big do you want the pieces. I have some in my stash too.
Is it just fruits and veggies or do you also want candy and stuff like that?
