Since I’m so slow in posting today’s report, you probably think I did lots of shopping at the ND Indian Summer Quilt Show this past couple of days. I think I showed amazing restraint!
FABRIC IN: My only fabric purchase at, to, or from the show was at Grubers in St. Cloud (love that shop). I bought a jelly roll of Kaffe Fassett brights. It’s going to be so much fun to work with. Most fabric collections have a range of lights to darks, which is nice for some things, but I’m going to really enjoy finding a project for this collection. I also purchased 5 yards of light gold for my Quilt For An Hour with JudyL. 6.75 yards in
FABRIC OUT: 12 yards used or set aside for the QFAH (and whatever is left over is going into the scrap bucket). I’m making mine larger with 12 big center blocks — and I’m up to date on it!! I’ll post a picture tomorrow on Design Wall Monday. 12 yards out.
At the show, I managed to do a little damage at the hot-fix crystal counter and the PaintStik booth. A quilter’s version of jewelry shopping!

PS: Yes, Karen, I agree, next year we will have to coordinate ahead of time and meet for a cup of coffee or an ice cream cone!
I was at a sewing show this weekend too and I purchased some crystals and the tool. I was very tempted to buy some more paintstixs and rubbing plates but I didn’t want to spend any more money. I went to that booth 3 times before I could walk away! That stuff is very addicting.
