That's it? That's all you bought? Are you feeling alright? Lemme check for a fever ;)

Love that camera strap. It's on my to do list. Someday..lol.

Your hexie quilt is gorrrr-jus! and love the toe shot, but the one in the window is brilliant!

The hexagon quilt looks great!

Loving the hexagon quilt! Can you believe my fabric still hasn't arrived!!! Canadian customs is holding my fabric hostage. Darn them!! I really wish we had more LQS's that had modern fabric here in Canada ...

Vicky said...

Just seven yards?!! I think someone is saving up for Market!! Love your hexie! Gorgeous!

Oh oh; a new quilt shop that is a modern quilter's dream? NOT good, not good! If she sells Japanese imports, then I am definitely in trouble.

I like your "yardage in, yardage out" count, but I am afraid to take such an assessment around here...

Don't even know what I'd do if I lived within a 45 minute trip to a fabric store. Online shopping gives me battles enough :-) oh, to touch and feel and lay the bolts out beside each other ~sigh~

Isn't it great to find a new shop! Especially one with things that you love? Love the hexie quilt. Oh and by the way, congrats on being a cover girl!

I just drove by Cloth and Bobbin the other day and leered at it. Now I'll really have to go!

Lori said...

the hexagon quilt is very nice. I will have to remember your blog for the tutorial!

Angela Nash said...

it's always great to find a good modern quilt shop - looks like you found some good stuff.

LOVE your camera strap - the perfect one for you! Maybe just a little bag for it to go in now - from Neptune.

I love Cloth & Bobbin and Johanna is so nice. I stop in there whenever I head to Philadelphia. Isn't Narberth just the cutest little town? Next time you visit you should absolutely walk down the street to the little French pastry shop (owned by real live authentic Frenchies!),Le Petit Mitron, to have the best croissants on earth. His cakes are awfully good, too. :)

oh, and there is a great Japanese store, Maido, with yummy okonomiyaki (though given the choice, I'd always pick the croissants).

Love, your quilt and so glad I'm making one too!!
