Since we have been VERY short of cash I have not been into my local quilt shop for over a month now. You can imagine my surprise when I stopped in today only to find the entire store on sale. They are going out of business, and their last day is Dec 7th.
When I walked in I noticed the fabric had been moved and it looked bare, and so I said "wow it sure does look different." Now I know why no one responded to me...it looked different because they are closing shop. All of the fabric is $5.99 a yard, with a one yard min. purchase. If you are looking for any Heather Bailey, Moda, or Free Spirit fabric let me know and I can see if they still have it.
This quilt store was just down the street from me. I am really really sad that they are going out of business.
After I found out about my local quilt shop I headed over to JoAnns to pick up my fabric for the Flirty Apron Swap. I am going to make a silver hostess apron that I am hoping will look super cute over a black dress. My partner said she liked all colors, so I decided to play it safe and go with silver. It may sound scary, but I am going to try to model the apron after the bottom half of my cousin's Halloween dress (she was Belle). Here is a peak at the fabric....the apron should be ready by the end of the weekend.
While I was at JoAnns I also picked up some crochet hooks and some cheap pink yarn to learn on.
As you can see I didn't get very far. I am using this tutorial, but I think I need to switch to a video tutorial because I am just not sure I am doing it right. If you have a tutorial or book to suggest please let me know! I REALLY REALLY want to learn to crochet!!!!!
When I got home I found a little package that contained my squares from the Spare Change swap I joined a while back. There were two of the same fabric stuck together...so I got an extra square. I feel like I should mail it back, I don't want someone to miss out on a square, or make the host go cut a square just for that purpose. I am sure it wont be a problem, but just in case... I am not going to start anything with that square yet. Take a look at all of my fabric!!!
This swap was SO much fun. It was super easy, just send off 24 5x5 squares, and get 24 (or in my case 25) squares back. I really hope that she host another one soon...if not I may just need to.
