This week I stuck 10 more yards in the box going to a friend for charity quilts.
But ... there's always a "but" at the LA Quilter household, isn't there?
I picked up four yards of Durham Anew by Brenda Riddle, and two yards of Bar Harbor backgrounds at the Fat Quarter Shop.
And one more thing I need to report, speaking of Minick & Simpson -- a very sweet, dear, wonderful, smart, beautiful, skinny friend who went to Market sent me a tower of (GASP!) the new Clermont Farms line! OMG, I was hyperventilating when I opened that box! Ten more yards in, but who cares! I've been fondling and petting it since it arrived! Thank you thank you thank you! I won't embarrass you by saying your name here, but you know who you are! Seriously, if I can EVER do ANYTHING for you, EVER, ANYTHING, just ask! Well, you can't have Penny - and I guess I can't give you my first-born child since I don't have one - but anything else, it's yours!
I actually had other stuff arrive this week, but they were gifts for someone so I'm not counting them. Whew!
Yesterday Penny and I spent the day at Skippy's house. We celebrated Jane's sweet DH's birthday in style with wonderful food, a birthday cake, and the pups had a blast! Penny slept the entire way home. She was actually snoring! When I carried her into the house, she walked straight into her kennel and went back to sleep! She's such a weenie! :)
Today I'm going to work on the Celebration quilt, and I must muck out my sewing room and probably the refrigerator. Wanta bet I don't get to the latter?
Year to Date:
Busted: 200.875 yards
Purchased: 234.125 yards

LOVE the Durham Anew range! Very romantic.
Penny is adorable and loved visiting your post today. I don't always comment but visit often enough.
I don't know that backgrounds should count, they're necessary, just like batting.
And that is one AWESOME friend!
That fabric is GORGEOUS!!! I wouldn't mind a benefactor that supplied fabric! lol
Penny would sleep hard all the time if I sent Max and Maisy. I bet Maxie would run her ragged day and night! lol
The Clermont Farms fabrics look interesting. I am trying to remember if Minnick & Simpson fabrics are always in reds, whites, & blues.
What a wonderful gift for you, new Minick and Simpson. Enjoy!!!!!!
I could picture Penny heading to her kennel. Love your comment, "She's such a weenie:) LOL" Enjoy your day!
The Clermont Farm looks like it could be real tempting! You do find and end up with the neatest fabrics! I so look forward to your stash report.
What a fun surprise! Love the fabrics in your new bundle. Happy stitchin'!
Oooooh Clement Farms! You lucky girl. We are looking forward to seeing what you make with it!
i know what you mean about the Clermont Farms fabric. i just bought two Moda candy bar boxes, and one of the lines was Clermont farms. gotta go hug me some Moda candy! YUM!
Well, hey you can't say NO to fabric from a friend! The Clermont Farm looks yummy.
Can I just say you are hands down one of my favorite bloggers?!? I look forward to Sunday's just to check out your yummy fabrics :)
Looks so yummy and truly you must know the "best" people to send gifts like that!
That's a wonderful collection. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
yeah...no...you can't count fabric given by a friend or giveaways into your stash count...well that's my vote anyway ;-) Glad Penny got a play date! My little girl is sick right now :( She ate something in our backyard I guess. Had to take her to the vet yesterday morning. She is getting better but is always a scary thing for me when she gets ill.
