When the gov’t calls a legal holiday, I have a quilting friend with the day off! 🙂 Lunch out, a good drive, a quilt shop or clothing store or many of the above, and lots & lots of chat. It is great!
This trip I had 2 layer cakes (already purchased) that needed companion fabrics and my friend said one store had a lot of batiks and brights. The store was beautiful!! And quiet. And great inventory! And I spread out all over. Left them money and came home with 2 packets for future quilts, all ready to go.
Yellows, darker greens, browns, and near white with a “background” of grayish white and splash of brown/black. Dynamic!
Pinks, blues, purples in batiks with a “background” of violet and splash of gold with purples. I knew that color-wise a yellow would be a good compliment but I sure wasn’t sure I’d ever find it. Pleased with this stop in Monticello!
Do you separate your precuts when you buy them? I keep them wrapped up until I’m ready to use them. My friend got a new charm pack while we were out and immediately spread it out when we got home. So funny when we realized that!
and sew on...
