The best laid plans...

That Friday night sewing fest I promised? Never happened. I didn't sew a block. I am having a little block on the sewing. Fabric buying? No block. I ordered 11.5 yards of fabric (mostly Erin McMorris' new Wildwood line. It's gorgeous. The Flower Shower in green is my absolute favorite. It reminds me of those adorable thrifted sheets so many sewers seem to find from the '70s. Fabric Worm is selling this whole line (and many others including Japanese imports) -and they have a coupon this weekend - 15% off of all orders $75+ with coupon code sc15off. (through 5/26/09).

I also placed an order from Z & S fabric. I couldn't resist the 20% off storewide sale. Their prices are so low to start, 20% just makes them irresistable! I ordered this yummy Kiwi line from Timeless Treasures. Speaking of Timeless Treasures, I can't believe the wonderful new lines they have debuted this Spring. From Kiwi, to Apple, to the fun Strawberry Fields line, they have really impressed me. And from the way my favorite Etsy stores are selling out, I would say I am not the only one quite impressed.

I am planning on making a gift quilt for a graduating senior in my family. She is moving to St. Augustine, Florida to go to college. So I thought I would make a throw type quilt for picnics at the beach and a tote bag to transport it. I saw this picture from Quilt Market (I know!) and thought I would attempt it.

I'll leave it at that and try to get back to my quilt. Hope the weather holds for everyone's Memorial Day plans.
