I promised I would post the books that I recently got. I was in Victoria a couple of weeks ago and visited my favorite quilt shop Quilters Patch. I can always find at least one thing I can't live without in that shop. Scroll down on the web page to look at the shop! Just charming! I got The Sweet Life by Anka's Treasures. the cover quilt sold me. They had a shop sample done in Aunt Grace fabrics and that did it for me and I love the scalloped border. That will be a challenge for me. There are 8 patterns for quilts in this book and everyone of them are very interesting and I think I will use this book for more than one quilt. (That is my new criteria for purchasing any quilt book or magazine!)
When I was in Ada, OK last Saturday at the Quilt show, I purchased two pieces of fabric. One is a black and white Aunt Grace Scottie print! and the other is surprise for my quilter friend! I saw it and thought, That looks like something ???? would like! I also picked up a book called Scrap Basket Surprises- 18 quilts from 2 1/2" strips by Kim Brackett. I had looked at this book at Joann's and had wanted to get it but didn't have any coupons that day. I justified it as a souvenir from Oklahoma. haha.
On a sewing note, I did cut out the pieces for the second row in the row quilt.It was supposed to be cut, sewed and complete in April. A little late, so I will do two rows in May!This row sure was a bugger as each piece was cut from a template and then reserved and cut again. Not my favorite style, but I suffered though it. Plan on sewing tomorrow! Will post pictures when the row is complete!
Happy Sewing!
