When I got home yesterday I had a wonderful surprise in the mail from Thelma, these beautiful lace motifs to use in my upcoming crazy quilt project. THANKS so much Thelma!! You can see some of her CQ here (http://thelmassewnthings.blogspot.com/) AND the Tintzl I ordered from Bonnie McCaffery to use in my Elements in Fabric class came!!
The quilt show was great and you can see pictures of some of my favorites in my photos under March 1 Quilt Show (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismomom/) and of course I had to spend a little money, you know support the quilt shops....
I am hoping to make two laptop bags to use when I don't need to carry too much with me so I can take a cute bag so I got these fabrics to use this pattern to make them and will decide which bag to use, based on where I am going and how I feel that day LOL
After the show I went to a local shop I don't get to often as it is about an hour and a half away and spent just a little more, added to my black and white stash and bought some teal and brown to make a pattern that I am going to call Shadowed Squares until I get the pattern in the mail next week (they are waiting for it to come in). The dark brown will be the borders, binding and the shadow, the light grey/blue will be the background and the teal and brown prints will be the squares. I think it will be really pretty.
Oh, and I forgot to take a picture of the purse pattern I got there. If I just made one of each purse pattern I buy I could change purses once a week and use a different purse every week of the year, think I should quit buying them and start making them, huh??

Hi,
Thank-you for leaving a comment on my blog and for your prayers. I hated reading that you could not get the help you needed when you needed it. I had my first angioplasty on January 17 and this Wednesday I will be having my second. I still have a 70% blockage that is going to be watched. How are you feeling now?
My am sending my prayers to you!
Take Care,

Opp bad typing..... I am sending my prayers to you!
You have some great finds there. I really like that purse pattern You can Take it With You.
Your very welcome Vicky, can't wait to see your cq pieces when you're done. You sure did get some great goodies.
Better hide that B&W stash!! I can think of at least one who would pilfer it if she could!!! And if she didn't I might be right there to whisk it away!!
