Fabric, I can't resist


I read Jo Morton's this post and immediately ran to my LQS yesterday to get my yard of this chintz.
This is such a beauty, I think Jo and Andover fabrics reproduced it so wonderfully.
Do I have a plan to use this fabric? Yes, I do. I'm planning to use it in the near future.


Along with that fabric I picked some FQ rolls which were 25% off and also several other yardages. (I bought the red fabric last Monday though)




Also the mail man came to my front porch and drop these goodies today.
I ordered some products from Yoko Saito's shop. (BTW, she has an online shop for international customers now)
The book is 30th Anniversary of Yoko's patchwork and quilting. It doesn't include any patterns but I just enjoy looking through her book at all the beautiful quilts pictures.
Some of quilts in this book are part of her earlier quilt collections which are very exclusive.






Another package was the plastic templates sheets from The Quilted Moose.
Remember? I said I'll use a plastic template from now on?
Now I got a year supply, I'm all good then. *LOL*

Alright, got to go back to my sewing desk to work on my projects.

Happy quilting,

I love your new fabrics! I NEED to go to a couple quilt shops soon - my favorite reproduction shop (Common Threads Quilting) and another shop where I received a $25 gift certificate (Quilts N More - they are having a sale on Sunday, so I might go then to get the most for my $$)! Then, I need to organize my fabric and get my "to do" list made for 2010. I have some UFO's to finish. Hee Hee!

Jo's new fabric is beautiful. I will be watching to see what you use it for.

Hi Rei,

Can't wait to see what you make with the chintz fabric! I also can't resist any of Jo's fabric...It's all so gorgeous!

Did you call up the Quilted Moose to order the plastic for templates? I need to do that!

Did your pincushion ring arrive too??

Hugs,

Elaine in SLO, Ca

うわ~いろいろ買われましたね(笑)。
そう言えば、斉藤先生の本が先月1冊、そして今月も発売になるようなので、どうされるのかな~と思っていたところなんですよ。
私もそろそろキルトに戻らなきゃ...。
