I'm finally giving in, and joining everyone else in making their Modern Maples quilts. I especially love the ones with smaller leaves interspersed with the larger ones. I have quite a large stack here to work with... hopefully I can come up with something interesting!
a little shopping
As anyone knows who has been there, it is impossible to go to the International Quilt Festival and not do any shopping. What fun would that be?
I thought I did a good job of not buying too much. :) I'm REALLY excited about the mirror ball dots - these have been sold out for a while. The zombie fabric is my favorite. It's just too cute. And I picked up some Flatten starch alternative. Has anyone tried this out yet? It looked like it sprayed a lot more evenly than most I've used before, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I also won a door prize at the Houston Modern Quilt Guild get-together! Woohoo! I won these pretty fabrics and a gift certificate from Pink Chalk Fabrics. There were so many door prizes! Thanks to all the sponsors for donating to the event!
fabric friday
I've been doing a little stashing.
Some Geekly Chic that I missed out on a while ago. Apparently I hit the jackpot!
And some Ghastlies that I've been wanting for ages. I may have gotten Christmas Ghastlies instead of Halloween Ghastlies, but no matter. They're still awesome.
I mean, look at that kid. Haha! I'll have to add some bright colors to this pile, though - it's such a muted line!
