This post is a little long, but many necessary updates. First off, this AMAZING bag below was given to me by From Bolt to Beauty. PB & J is one of her favorite fabric lines, so I was so tickled that she was parting with so much of this yardage. Isn't it just perfect? I cannot wait to stuff it full of notions. I just love it and the inside has dividers, which makes it even better. Thanks Michelle.
Next off is fabric, so about that -30.25 yards. Here are the 4.5 yards of Cotton & Steel that I had to order at 20% off. Already included in that number.
While at retreat I had to visit the local quilt shop Quilted Threads. That top print below has a bunch of architectural drawings as the print (how awesome), then some grey linen, and a variety of chambrays. The following shot is a couple more Cotton & Steel prints and a Dear Stella dot. For an additional 5 yards. Make the net zero total now -25.25. Still in the negatives :)
While at retreat, Michele and I sorted the charms from our "Tone it Down" low volume swap. Aren't they so pretty, this round was truly magnificent! All the fabrics are just perfect, especially that little sheep print below.
These last couple weeks have been hectic at work, and my machine was in this week for it's annual check up. Things have been light on the sewing front. I do have a couple projects to share from retreat, and hopefully by then I will have my machine back for more project completion :) Hope everyone is enjoying an nice safe Halloween.

I just received my charm pack in the mail and I was so delighted with everything! Thank you and Michelle so much for organizing it. :)
ReplyDeleteI got mine and my daughters yesterday~I look forward to using them! Let me know when you do another one :)
ReplyDeleteThose low volumes are certainly going to make a lovely project!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful bag! If you put your notions in that, does it free up more room in the trolley for fabric? :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics in the bag - lucky you. Nice haul of fabric too, love the sheep.
ReplyDeleteShe used and gave away PB&J???!?!?!?!?!? Having been at the store hearing hear squeal with delight when she found a bolt of PB&J (or rather when Sarah found it for her) I know that means that Michelle loves you very very much :)
ReplyDeleteI got my charms in the mail the other day and was so delighted with them. Thanks again to you and Michelle for organizing it. And LOVE the bag! It's just so adorable.
ReplyDeleteThose LV charms make me so happy -- what a lovely collection! I'm already plotting a project for them. : )
ReplyDeleteThe true sign of our friendship is not that I used my precious PB&J; it's that I made that challenging pattern. Your Social Tote was my first and last Social Tote!
