I was in the US visiting family for a short week of camping over Memorial day. Of course, while I was there I could not resist a trip onto the LQS to grab a few pretties.
My mom found this pretty bundle. I can not get enough of the bees and chicks and the lady bugs were so cute! At -50% who could resist? |
Re-stocking LVs that are very depleted after the medallion quilt. The yellow Woodlands print will be the medallion binding. Can't wait to get that far in my medallion quilt! |
And pretty FQs that sparked my interest. I guess I was in a retro kind of mood? |
Never very good at these roundy photos, but you get the idea of the full mess of fabric I have in mind for this quilt. |
Cool prints... |
Warm prints.... |
And finally, through IG, Amanda (@graccieone) and I organized a magazine swap. I passed onto her the two latest issues of Love Patchwork and Quilting, while she gave me an issue of Quilty and the one and only Love Patchwork that I was missing. Thank you, Amanda! I am totally in love with the cover quilt on this issue of Quilty. You may see it in the making this summer!
That's what's going on around here. I have started in on my Bee Blessed blocks, too. Will show you those later this week. Watch this space.

Nothing more fun then fabric shopping, unless it is fabric shopping with your mom!
Gorgeous haul!! Love those retro prints and the ds, I'm sure whatever you make will be brilliant :)

ooooh leeeeeettle bit jealous of your ds.... not so much the 100s weeny pattern pieces!
Love the ones on second photo.
We are going to stay with friends in Chicago for Thanksgiving and I've already started on-line shopping (Easter sales & memorial day sales)and getting everything delivered to her.....the pile is growing!!
So much fabric yumminess! Looks like you had a successful trip to the LQS.
Wow that's a lot of booty! If you need some more of that egg print in picture 1, Fabric Guild has it for 60p a FQ so I can always pick it up for you. :) Yes I bought one!
I think you're quite certifiable, but not because of your fabric buying ;o)
Oh, so much loveliness!! You can't beat a bit of fabric shopping and project planning!! xx
Gorgeous fabricness, and how lovely to spend time camping with your family!
Umm no. I think it would be totally normal to buy all that fabric on a trip to the US? The prices are half that what we pay for fabric in Australia. So glad you got visit your family and spend time with them. How's the little niece? All girly yet?
