Since my hubby came home this week after a very long road trip for work, I finally had a day to shop at my own pace!!
I had these Kaffe dots, but needed these...
and some of this...
and some of this...
and this...
so I could think of doing this...
Then, in the middle of a quilt shop, in an excited spin in front of the luscious flannels, I remembered the "little" quilt I worked on this week.
My hand, red like a STOP sign. A string tied around my finger to help me remember to be in the moment, to wake up, to realize what it is I am doing.
And I thought, "Right NOW, do I need more fabric?"
Probably not, I thought, as this shelf came to mind.
Ahhhh...
I got quiet and realized that some new fabric is fun, and since I already had some, what was it I really needed in that moment?
And at that moment, when I slowed down enough to hear, I realized what I needed right NOW was some quiet...not fabric.
So, I went to read my new magazine in front of a peacefull pond with ducks.
When I got home, instead of thinking what I usually think, "Ugh, my play time is up already?"
I thought, "Yes, I am ready and able. I am glad to be home."
In the NOW I embraced another opportunity to grow!
Since I need some room to grow, I decided to share some of my black and whites with you!!!!!!!
I have this pile...
this pile...
and this pile!
Three bundles of eight pieces - fat quarters and 1/2 yards.
As I was shopping, I was shocked to see fabric at 12.10$ a yard.
I am curious what you are doing.
Are you paying that much? Do you shop online? Are you only using your stash?
One chance to win if you leave a comment.
Another chance if you are already or become a follower.
Overseas quilters are welcome to play too!!!
Winner announced next Sunday.
