Well shopping in Atlanta was not successful in terms of the shopping list-it was successful for other stuff!! I did a nice little 2 hour road trip after my meetings on Thursday. I travelled to a cute shop in Conyers, GA called Sweet Home Quilt Co. It was real cute and had a nice assortment of wools. I didn't find anything on my list but I ended up with the Little Miranda bag pattern and some Moda fabric for the bag.

The next stop was in Marietta, GA at Tiny Stitches. This shop had a great variety of patterns but I will admit I suffered from sticker shock. The patterns and books were reasonable but holy cow-$4 for a fat quarter-I was afraid to look at an entire bolt. That certainly didn't stop me from buying-I got a Layer Cake book and a roll of fat quarters that are Coffee themed and crazy brown, cream and blue colors-I love them! I picked them out of a sale bucket!

The final stop was Red Hen Fabric-too cute! it is a bright red building with a quilt painted on the side. Inside it is jammed packed with fabrics, books and gadgets. It was nice to wander through and see all the colors-I would have liked to been inspired to pick out a project but my commitment list of 2009 was nagging me so I refrained.....darn!! I did walk away with 2 fat quarter which cost me $4 total!!

Sunday's Super Bowl was GREAT-4 HOURS of uninterrupted sewing time!! I got all the pieces cut out for my stained glass wall hanging-what in the world was I thinking!! There are 8 stained glass looking blocks-each with 4 pieces-then there are another 8 blocks with pieced centers-UGH! Not only ironing them on to the fusible web, but then cutting them out and then sewing the 3/4 in strips together! The cherry on the top was having to order the Clover Fusible Quick Bias Binding-jeese $42 later! Oh well-it will be beautiful and well worth it when I am done-hopefully in this lifetime. ;)

I have joined, and been accepted in, Toni's Miniature Booty Swap 3. This time around we will be creating for our partner's kitchen. I have some ideas and think that I bought the perfect fabric in Nags Head last summer-now where could I have put it when I organized everything.....hmmmm.
