Goodies from Quilt Show and Stash Report

A different rug pattern- each rug uses 7 1/4 yards - where do I sign up???




Some hand quilting stencils and a few fqs for a applique class. It's repro design and hubby silly man wants the wall hanging to be the same as the pic on the
pattern :( I'm not big on repros





A couple of purse patterns and nice leather handles for purses. One pattern uses the 2 1/2" squares ( great as mine are breeding again) and the other the 5" charms :)




Isn't this a great template? It's a giant tumbler :) You get 2 tumblers from a fq. And who doesn't have fqs or more of fabric we have no recollection of buying????





Lastly I bought 4 1/2 yards of blue to make this pattern that one of my guild members designed.




So lets see, we've had 4 yards of border and binding fabric in
4 1/2 yards of snuggler fabric in
15 yards of muslin for backing in (90")
3 fqs in

We've used 4 yards of the muslin and 4 yards for borders and binding.
Yikes that leaves me in a huge hole.....but the muslin and border stuff is getting used as I finish each of the Girl Scout quilts. I have 3 quilted
1 waiting for trimming and binding
2 with binding sewn on and down
2 tops
1 with borders ready to load tomorrow morning
and a box of blocks waiting for it's turn.
All the binding is made and borders cut

Not the best report but it's the worst one in awhile-lol.

Fun Afternoon at Quilt Show

Hubby surprised me AGAIN by taking me to the Garden State quilters quilt show in Westfield this afternoon. What a guy :) There were about 250 quilts. Not too big and plenty of vendors....but imagine his surprise when I said I didn't really NEED anything and I was still trying to bust stash :O





I'm thinking of doing this quilt in either red and hunter green or maybe use up some of the black and white yardage I have.

I usually don't take pics of whole quilts, mostly blocks I can redraw in EQ :)
but I did make an exception for the one quilt above ......






I didn't get alot- the only fabric I got was a great Halloween panel, some more 30's repros. I did get the new Quilter's Home magazine and a book, Free and Easy Circles.
The 2 fqs were door prizes- how cool was that? We both won!! *** How does one explain Mark to their hubbys??***






Here's more of the Halloween Panel- Isn't it great?????






They had a small wall hanging raffle and hubby won this one :)
