Needed a red stripe for super hero aprons I am making for my co-teacher and I. I had all the other colors I needed except for the stripe, so I thought that was pretty good.
The first place I went did not have a red & white stripe. Not any stripes???? Even my 79-year-old father who was with me thought that was odd. But I didn't leave empty handed. Huge sales and I can use my teacher discount and get 15% more off, so I got some white on whites which I need to continue the Red, White and Blue quilt that got this far. I felt like my mother. She used to stock up on white on whites. I have worked through almost all of hers. Makes me kind of sad, but they are in a quilt that I will keep so that's okay.
The cute pink Eiffel Tower fabric is for my niece who is going to Paris this summer. I will come up with something for her with that. I haven't bought fabric in a long, long time so I didn't feel too bad getting 1/2 yard of something with no real plan.
Second stop had the red & white stripe. Got my one yard and got out of there!
So here's the damage report. My total is down a bit, but not much. Not bad.

The signature quilt is so fun. How neat that your dad understands about quilting fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYour RWB quilt is amazing. I am glad that you were able to use your mom's fabric in a quilt, every time you use it, you will be able to wrap yourself up in a hug from her.
I really like the Q quilt. You deserved to buy a little fabric. We are both coming along, and will be in good shape after a few finishes.
