QuiltCon Shopping

 When I was at QuiltCon this year, I wasn't planning to buy too much new fabric. I mean that's always the plan at these shows, right? But I ended up with a few things, as there were some vendors at the show that I hadn't encountered before, that's the excuse I'm going with.

I was really into the grays for some reason. Probably the whole Modern Quilt aesthetic which I was immersed in, that and I've always liked gray. And there's something irresistible about these ribbons that a lot of the designers are now having produced to coordinate with their fabrics.
 I was thinking this fabric would make a cute pillowcase. And the ribbon might turn into a headband.
 These were freebies from Marcus Fabrics as a reward for sewing some blocks for their ALS quilt.

 I was still shopping for Gray and That-Certain -Yellow I can never find, for a planned Yellow/Gray quilt, a couple of these might end up in that project.
 Such a serious looking octopus. It makes me smile every time I see it.
 I had to show you the label along with the fabric, "Sew Scary Woman" hmmmm, new internet avatar name??
 This grouping makes me hungry for some reason. Sorbet colors? Salad colors?

  1. I don't remember you buying ribbon at QuiltCon. I let you out of my sight for one minute.... ;-)

  2. I know right? I think you were talking to someone in the booth next door, or I was just being sneaky.
