Fabric SHOPPING Spree!

The hubs took me on  road trip for a little day away----to 2 quilt shops! I know. I tell him all the time he's the best! You're not going to believe the treasures I found. If you're into 30s and NOT shopping at Ericas, what are you doing? They have other great stuff, too but you know I'm completely obsessed with repros.

I found some YLI silk thread. I'll give it a whirl on the next applique block and give you my opinion. Not to worry, I think I have one scheduled for the begining of the week, so it shouldn't be a long wait. For now, you can check out the latest fabrics that will make their way into JANE.

  4. I started counting your fabrics but gave up, they look lovely, I'm extremely envious. Silk thread is really nice for applique, I have used it on some of my applique blocks.

  5. Pip,
    I think the grand total was 52 Fat Quarters, 35 fat eighths, and a few pieces of yardage...I'll have to save the yardage for next post. =)

    I only use silk thread when I appliqué, I find it the best. And congratulations on your 50 and over 1000.
