First the Girls and I stopped in Wytheville, Virgina at Batiks Ectera to pick up some bright jewel tone fat quarters for my Mother. She requested them and I was a good daughter, except I neglected to take a picture.
I was very good and only picked up the fabric on the right to make my already started lattice quilt bigger.
My downfall was my Oldest Daughter, she decided that she needed to make a quilt. She found the Butterfly fabric in the sale room and we finished the bolt at 40% off. Then she picked out 20 fat quarters to make a turning twenty around the block quilt. I cut out the pieces while we were in Ohio and now all she needs to do is sew.
While at my Mom's we picked up the supplies needed to make these Origami boxes from JoAnn's. I put the stiffy glue on the fabric, cut the squares and then my Youngest Daughter did the folding. She made my Mother eight Christmas fabric boxes, that I neglected to take a picture of. The box in the picture was our prototype made with not very square pieces of fabric. I now need to make some more for myself. The directions are in McCall's Quilting Sept/Oct 2011 issue.
We visited The Good Wife's Club in Marion Ohio, so I could pick up some light reproduction fabric. I also found some six inch squares in their scrap bin.
My Mom picked up this fabric for me to make her a fall purse.
We also went to Country Stitches in Kenton, Ohio. There I picked up some beautiful border fabric to use on a scrappy house quilt that I have been wanting to make. Scotty just could not stay out of the pictures any longer.
Now all I have to do is get all my chores caught up so that I can get quilting.
