Whew! I'm glad this week is coming to an end. It was so busy with lots of running around town doing errands and trying to finish up some prior commitments. While I was out and about yesterday, I accidently found myself in a
quilt shop - imagine that! :) I've pulled every possible batik from my stash to audition for different parts of the current project and some of them worked, but I needed more, so I was
forced to see if the local quilt shops had something that worked better. Well as luck would have it, they had several possibilities and I couldn't decide or remember just which color might look best or go with what I already had -- so you know what I did, right?? I bought them all. I've been influenced by my friend over at
A Quilt & A Prayer. Thanks Teresa!
Here's what I picked up for future consideration in my project of the liturgical quilt I'm working on in between the other 5 projects!!.
These are all batiks and most of them
are Hoffman 1895s which give the impression of a marbled stained glass.
Some of these look similar, but there is a slight subtle variation in tones and hues.
So, my stash has grown a little bit.
Fabric Added - 2.0 yards
Fabric Used - 0 yds
YTD Added - 28.75 yds
YTD Used - 70.58 yds
Net busted for 2012 - 41.83 yds

Those are beautiful fabrics! I can't wait to see your project.
ReplyDeleteLOL How do you accidentally find yourself in a quilt shop? I think you exercised amazing restraint considering the damage you COULD have done! Lovely choices!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics and your numbers are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are gorgeous! I guess if you HAVE to add fabric, it might as well be beautiful ones!

Two beautiful yards of Batiks! I wish I could use the accidental excuse for going to a quilt shop, the ones closest to me are 20 miles to the south and 20 miles to the north, accidents just can't happen around here.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay girlfriend - you can blame it on me!!! I think you did a great job of making sure you have exactly what you need to make your liturgical quilts the absolute best they can be! :*) I really LOVE the fabrics you are using - YUM!!! That peach looks good enough to eat! And the multi-color with blues on the bottom right - oh my! - that's my kind of fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat additions. It's so hard when you are looking for fabrics to go with what you have, it's hard not to buy a variety. You are still in the black, so not a bad week. Especially if you end up using most of what you bought.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabrics that should be quite fun to use!
