Fabric Sale! Woot Woot!

My LQS had a 20% store wide sale this weekend. How do you possibly pass up something like that? I found some awesome grey fabrics for my Farmer's Wife quilt and got another yard of white. (I have 6 yards of black that I bought for another quilt and am pretty sure I'll have lots of leftovers on that one so I didn't get any more black.) I might start using the medium grey in a few blocks to add a little more variety. The dark grey fat quarter is for the four blocks that are made with five colors.

Recently I got a copy of Vintage Quilt Revival and am loving the patterns. There are a lot of projects that I'm dreaming about. I fell in love with the Crosspatch Bag as soon as I saw it. In the book Lee Heinrich makes it with grey, yellow, and white, but they aren't colors I wear very often. I thought about using grey as the background and just swapping out the yellow, but I'm using so much grey in the FW quilt I wanted to branch out a little so I decided to use blue as the background and green in place of the yellow. I wasn't able to get sew in medium weight interfacing so it might be a while until I get to this bag, but you can bet I'll share pictures after I make it.

Finally I decided to splurge and get a second charm pack of Bits and Bobbins to match the one I got from one of my guild members for Christmas. Not sure yet what this will be, but it's easier to do something with two charm packs instead of one.
