This weekend was a shopping weekend. First, on Saturday we bought me a new desktop, my old one had a bad power supply and a chip set that would not upgrade to Vista. This is my first brand new PC ever, normally Don builds me something out of spare parts or buys a refurbished box and upgrades what I need. Pretty exciting.
More exciting was that there was budget for fabric this week. I finally got the black for the Lone Star corners and I also got a white for the back of the Valentine quilt. I think I have batting for both already. Then I needed something new to inspire me.
These peach & browns will be trees. I picked out the design already, but was having so much fun playing with them that I haven't cut yet.
This pile doesn't have a plan yet, but I just had to have the heart fabric and was amazed to find that stripe with the same weird yellow green. They really do match in person.
Friday night was another UFO sewing night at the quilt shop and I didn't really accomplish much. Since I was kind of in between projects with the finish on the Valentine top, I messed around with some baggies of things that I found in a bin and also with these heart blocks that are a simplified (fewer fabrics/smaller block) version of the heart pattern I saw here. I'm not super thrilled with the black edged ones. This picture is very tiny here, but you can click for a very large version. I need to re-load my photo editing software on this new PC as I could not figure out how to re-size them in Vista.
Before anything else, some more clean up of the sewing area needs to happen. The only flat surfaces available for picture taking this morning were my ironing board and my chair. Yikes!
