Sunday Stash

Sunday stash, originally uploaded by Shadrach Meshach & Abednego.

Don't know why I'm so into owls lately. Maybe it's because I'm in my fiftieth year, and they say wisdom accompanies age. If that's so, I'm clearly seeking a little external help! And some of these owls look a bit more crazy than wise! I don't have any plans for these at the moment, but I couldn't resist snapping them up as soon as I saw them. Hmmm.... impulsiveness is not very wise, is it?

In Toronto

I'm visiting a colleague in Toronto today, and went in early so that I could visit The Quilter's Palette, in Mississauga. It's a small store, but they have a god selection of fabrics. I had three main objectives: (1) to pick up some more of the cinnamon and pink dotted Kaffe Fassett print so that I could make progress on the Prairie Claw quilt, (2) to get a few light FQs for my stash, since I have mainly mediums and darks, and (3) to pick up another roll of Invisigrip, which is a kind of plastic sheeting that clings onto the bottom of old-school quilting rulers so that they grip the cloth better. I'm happy to say that all my objectives were achieved! Here are some photos of what I got - apologies for the quality of the photos - all I have with me is my iPhone.

These are some lights for my stash - most of them are kind Japanese-y.



I liked these fats to add to my smallish collection of vintage-style prints - I have plans for a Cracker Box quilt when I get a goodly number



I got some yardage of these - love them so much. Must be the time of the year - leaves changing colour.



And with these random fats, I was able to fill up my customer card and get $25 off. Awesome!
