Buggy Barn Quilt Show

Today I was able to go out to the quilt show at the buggy barn with my sister and one of her quilt buddies, and the buddies neighbor. What a beautiful day out in the country. We saw many beautiful quilts. The Barn Chicks were busy in the shop. They have just recently added some space in the shop. Captured a few pics of the day. Sorry this blog post is picture heavy......

Such Cute Fabric

Look at these fabrics....


 
WASH DAY UTILITY ROOM
 
 
I found them last weekend at Boersma's in McMinnville. I just had to have them and they just happened to have fat quarters all cut and ready. Now I'm not sure what they will be used for but they were so cute I just had to have them. Then I always think maybe I should have purchased half yard cuts or more just in case.

 Nope these will have to be enough!

Go Baby

  Last weekend I was in JoAnn's to pick up something with my 70% off notion coupon to buy something I just "had to have" and noticed this......................



All Accuquilt stuff was 40% off! I have been contemplating getting one of these but then wondered would I use it? I don't think they go on sale very often. The selection of templates was limited but I did find one that had several pieces that I probably will use.  Not so sure if I will use it all the time, but the one I got will cut 2 1/2 squares and half square triangles. I cut out several half square triangles and sewed them together. They do make a perfect 2 1/2 inch half square triangle. I will probably use this quite a bit for my scrap quilting. Now to get a few more templates.....Maybe the 2 1/2 inch strip cutter.....
