I’ve been doing good staying away from fabric stores and haven’t bought much fabric at all except for a few thrift store finds…but this week, I caved.
I bought this…..
I am blaming it all on discovering Yoko Saito. Â I recently got books that she wrote from both Stitch Publishing and Interweave. Â I am in love with her projects and can’t wait to start a couple projects. Â The only problem, she works in taupe toned fabrics and I have zero of that. Â This little bundle should be enough to get me started. Â I’ll be collecting more similar fabrics.
Watch in the upcoming weeks, I’ll be reviewing her books on our “Try it on Tuesday” segment.
I did get a quilt finished…a big one. Â If you missed it, you can see it here.
Used this Week: Â 15 yards store bought
Used year to Date:  178 yards store bought +  48.5 Moda fabric + 56.5 yards of recycled fabric…

Today I am grateful for having reliable vehicles. Â We are doing a lot of traveling this weekend and having reliable vehicles that I can afford to put gas in the is really great.
I always enjoy seeing what you and your daughters are up to. I have recently started working in those Japanese taupey-tans and grays. I find them very calming; maybe you will, too.

I am grateful for generous quilt bloggers who share so much of themselves; their time, their talent, their passion, their worries and fears, and of course, recipes and patterns! Got Fair & Square border pieces pressed and cut apart from the chain piecing. Headed to an auction today to check out a Bel-Aire clone machine and and New Home treadle. . .
I’m grateful for my four little Shih Tzu dogs.
I am grateful for my health that allows me to eveything I desire without impediment.
I am grateful for all the time I was able to spend sewing this weekend. I am also amazed at how much fabric you are able to find in thrift stores! ! !
