We were first!

Some times in life you have to make your own good karma.  Last week when I receive an email from my friend Caroll about going to the Stitched Studio side walk sale on Monday morning I was shocked!  Of course I'd help her maneuver on the east side of the river to East Paris, south of Cascade!  Well. lo and behold we were first.....!  Oh what fun we had.  Some of SS fabric was 70%, yes 70% off.  Well, those fabrics we bought a yard of more!  The remaining and most of the fabrics were 50% off, but what a selection.  We saw our new friend, Polly, who is one of our Beehive Block of the Month friends.  Soon we had a crowd and how Michele and Kat kept track of who had which fabric was amazing.  The sale goes until tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept 15....oops....quarterly tax day.  Do you think Uncle would mind if my payment came in old fabric?

 I have been drooling over these Moda solids with texture.  The decision on which to purchase and how to use them pushed me away as I never had a plan.  Still don't have a plan but they are so gorgeous.  We were all amazed that they had been in the store at it's grand opening!

 These three fabrics are begging to be made into a satchel similar what I had made in 2014.  Caroll keeps telling me a woman can never have too many bags.

 Last year Stitched Studio had a Marushka doll fabric that was going to be my flight bag for Russia.  While the trip was great, the bag never happened.  The above fabric make a great lining, even though it's not a Russian theme, but playful like the dolls.

Michele indicated that this remnant, a good filler fabric, is organic.

The staff had just finished the quilt top for the appliqué block of the month, very, very modern.  Check out their website for other cool BOM's and the new fabrics that helped out by emptying the shelves.  Carolyn Friedlander's block of the month is here.  The screen shot below is only one of the cool blocks to be completed.
