How's your Friday going?

Shopping this morning was productive. Fig Leaf Quilting had two (2!!) fabrics in the color red that I needed. How often does that happen? One of them is a blue/red Kona Cotton. Should have looked at the bolt end to see the name. *shrug* Now I need to make sure that neither of these fabrics is going to bleed because they are for the Baltimore Christmas quilt.

My new prescription  sunglasses were in and now I can see without squinting in the bright sun on snow days.

Sprouts Farmers Market had some mighty fine looking Sockeye Salmon on special. Into the shopping cart it went along with some pine nuts for the morning oatmeal and some roasted almonds for snacking.

A new yarn shop opened up only 10 minutes away from home. Oh my, this could be trouble 'cause it's the Loopy Ewe. I went in to purchase sock blockers and came out with some Madelinetosh yarn too. The colorway is called Fjord which is perfect for an upcoming project. It is luscious yarn. I would be in deep trouble if this store were closer.

I'm doing my part to help the economy. The wonderful little pattern, Zigzag 9, was won from Suzanne at Salt Creek Quilt Co. I purchased the Pajama Quilt DVD and workbook combo. I wanted to show more of the Zigzag 9 pattern cover but the wind was blowing and this was the configuration that worked to take a photo.

You know, I seem to shop online when I don't have time to create. I find myself in the wee hours of the morning poking buttons. I have lately begun shopping for Auntie online because I just can't find it anywhere else. In fact I just purchased this and this. In my defense, I did it online after I scoured all the stores in the area for the table. And frankly, the shoes could only be purchased at this type of store. Of course, that does not explain the two books I added to the Amazon order to get the free shipping or the order from Clotilde for the Miranda Day Bag pattern or the order from the custom cane store for CarGuy's birthday present. This purchase of a cane for him was a necessity more than a luxury. It is a hand-carved hickory cane with a Derby head. There is a band of sterling silver where the head meets the cane and the cane is carved in a diamond pattern similar to this.

Who says that a utilitarian item needs to be ugly? Think of a quilt!
