What was I thinking????

Did you ever look at a piece of fabric in your stash and wonder: WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BOUGHT THAT! Well, that's what I did when I pulled out this piece - the selvage says "Alexander Henry Collection" and I am guessing I bought it around the year 2000...I probably had a plan but I'm not sure what. Maybe I was in the same condition that the birds seem to be! Anyway, I pulled it out to do some experimenting with techniques. I am trying to do the open seam thing and it seems to be working...the triangle points are coming out great. I'll have to upload the finished project later but wanted to share the fabric now!

More Fabric!

I know I already blogged today but I just had to talk about a new quilt shop I visited this afternoon with one of my good quilting buddies. The shop had its grand opening today. It has a great atmosphere. The building was originally used as an antique shop so it has that homey feeling. The owner has a nice selection of fabric and is getting more in everyday. She also has books and other supplies. It is really a great set up with a great big room upstairs to hold classes!


The shop's name is Serendiptity in Dagsboro, DE.


Of course, I can't leave a quilt shop without fabric. I don't know what I will do with it yet but I bought plenty! The picture doesn't do the vibrant colors justice.
