Friday I went with friends to Rochester for the Minnesota Quilters show. The eye candy was fabulous, and of course, even though I couldn’t think of a single thing I needed to shop for, I still managed to go home with a bag of hand-dyeds. I have only used them once before, so this is something pretty new to my stash. And I think there were four different vendors tempting us with such a depth of color and texture, it was impossible to resist! (No, my mermaid didn’t win anything, but it was fun to see her hanging out at the show! And I think she had a good time too.)
I ordered some Moda charm packs from Hancocks of Paducah a while back. These are the Posh line. I thought they were so pretty, and I ordered four packs, so I started sewing them together randomly with a dark yellow-green sashing. The border will be all the dark green with maybe some feathered quilting in yellow or gold or … who knows? Maybe a variegated.
I also completed Kate’s chicken block for our box exchange on Wednesday. The block turned out really cute, but can’t share it yet. I think Kate stops by once in a while!
