Expanded LQS

 

A recent lunch meetup with friend Jaye led to us investigating the newly expanded quilt shop, The Granary. They've done a really great job with the new space, I found it was much easier to browse around and actually see the fabrics. The classroom section is separate now which is nice, as sometimes we would encounter a class in session and would have to squeeze past the students to get to various things. Their notions wall is awesome, sooo many rulers.

As you can see above I made some purchases. First is a QAYG (quilt as you go) printed pattern on quilt batting Christmas tree skirt. It's finally time to make one. Then a new 4.5' square ruler, from Quilter's Select, oh wow does this thing ever stick and stay. It just doesn't move, awesome. A black white dot print that reminded me of Yayoi Kusama. And then 4 yards of a grey print that we're using for our Pantone Project.

There was also a very cool op art print that reminds me of a puzzle I had in the 70's and a panel of Quilty tarot images that I couldn't resist. Metamorphosis as a skeletal hand holding a seam ripper while a butterfly looks on, and Strength as a lion with pins as whiskers, c'mon that's too good.
