Yesterday and today is the biennial Quilt Show here, and wow, it is amazing! I was doing a lot of drooling...and shopping!! I've been waiting for this to buy some Aurifil, and I sure did-5 spools of the delicious stuff.
The green coloured insert is a 40wt, and I want to try it with some FMQ. I also picked up a couple of templates(no pic) and hardly any fabric-just a few FQ's honestly. I wandered through a booth that had a Drunkard's Path die .Hmmm. I won a Go!baby a few months back, and I am doing the DPQAL with
Kristie and
Kate. But, I have already made my templates and cut out a few of them, so I didn't buy it(patting myself on the back).
And then today happened! My evil, lazy side spoke to me in a loud, whiny voice that I couldn't ignore.
That Go!baby is just sitting there pouting about being ignored. Why don't you go buy the die?
I decided to let fate determine my course of action. I went back, and decided that if they insisted I pay an entry fee again, I would leave. I do have a tiny bit of self control after all!
Yes, I am now a proud owner of the DP die. Good thing I hadn't cut very much fabric!
Also, yesterday I had a lovely surprise in the mail!
These arrived is less than a month from
this Etsy shop in China! I'm shocked! I've waited longer for fabric from the States. Canada customs must have been having a good week. So, now I won't be sitting on the sidelines for
Rebecca's PAL. Yay! However, I did order more frames thinking these wouldn't arrive! Poor me!
One last thing. I picked up Quiltmaker magazine because Sonja or
Artisania has her paper-pieced Winter Critters pattern in it. Have you seen it? Absolutely wonderful. Check it out, and you will be hooked too. I can hardly wait to do it.
That's all folks!

Sounds like you enjoyed the quilt show , sure wish I was there .I'd really have loved to see Monika's dress in person I bet it is stunning.
With the thread, die and frames you like like you have a lot of work ahead of you.
Cool task for my hubby: Go and buy the Quiltmaker Magazine (hihi)! But I cant get over the fact you had to order UHU glue from China! The pouch frames are cute though!
I so enjoyed the show, too! I bought a few little things and meant to go back to a booth to buy some Aurifil, too, but didn't make it back before closing on Friday and then didn't get there on Saturday either.
If you end up with more of those pouch frames than you can lose, please let me know. I've been meaning to buy some online, too, and just haven't gotten around to it yet. I really want to try making one of those cute little pouches.
