Well, here is what I bought. The first thing was this kit that will make a small table topper or wall hanging. Can't wait to make it.
Next was all the things in this box. Fat quarters, thread, big buttons, rick rack, and wool. I saw these boxes for sale in the shop which they used to hold fat quarters. I bought one and took it out to the car. I asked my husband if he could use them in his workshop. He went in, looked and we bought the other two they had for sale. After seeing the picture here I like the way the other things look in it so he might be fighting me for the other two.
I also bought a pattern to make this very cute table runner and a new rug hooking magazine. One of these days I am going to make a rug.

Oooh, Carrie! You made out like a bandit. Such fun purchases. I still haven't had the time to visit the local quilt shop here in New Braunfels. I am at the mercy of my daughter to drive me places, but when the time is right, watch out!!
ReplyDeleteI know - I went home with far more than I had planned. I may have to go back over the weekend.

ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot. I love everything you bought! The storage cubbies are awesome. I just love that kit. Colors are gorgeous and rich.
ReplyDeleteWas it busy there? I decided to stay in and quilt. You've got some pretties!!
ReplyDeleteCould you tell how long they would be open? I would love to go but don't know when I can make it (like I have money for that!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul! I'm always sorry to see a local quilt shop close, but it's wonderful you found so much cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou scored big time! Can't wait to see the "autumn" one finished! Would you get on that? LOL
ReplyDeleteShe who discovers the boxes first gets to keep them, right? Looks like you found some great treasures.

Carrie I LOVE those patterns - good job! And the fabrics are lovely too - good for you on getting the boxes, I think I would HAVE to keep them, lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for today's reading [and every day]!
It is unfortunate that the shop is closing but you did get some great stuff. I love the boxes too.
