Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

Hi. My name is Cyndi and I am a fabric junkie. sigh. Here are the things i have picked up over the past few weeks. ( no, this is not all, i scored more at a 50% off sale yesterday....WHO can refuse that?) This little beauty i picked up for $9!!!! The last Wal-Mart in our area with a fabric department is closing.....not the store, the sewing department. An assortment of patriotic prints for my little America fiend! I picked up all these fabric squares at our new local thrift store for $2!!! how could i refuse?!?!? I just love this! don't know why i love it...but i do!!! so of this lovely stuff i got that the quilt show and some I got at Wal-Mart... This is part of what i got at the quilt show....LOVE IT! and assorted fat quarters of course! more yumminess to come!

yesterday, day three.... well i had a "walking date" but it got cancelled, not by me!! so i went out with my BFF to do a bit of shopping. i HAD to pick up these new fabrics at JoAnn's..... I also must confess that i deviated from my "induction" but did stay on the "diet". It was the best day so far!!! lol I had a chick fil la grilled sandwich and side salad...that comes with...sunflower seeds! a MUFA! YES! don't know what i am going to do with these fabrics, but when is that ever a problem? I think i just collect them! They are so lovely. I need to get my hiney in gear and kick it working on my "prizes" for girls weekend...and there is another baby quilt brewing in my head...hmmmmm. always cyndi

TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! ok, ok whatever! but i made this awesome tree block, just trying to figure it out and loved it. I wanted to do something with it, so i decided to quilt it. Gave me some practice with my "Walking foot". I have always been too scared to use it. *shrug* ok TRY, not to laugh here. Yes, i KNOW it looks like Elmo colored all over my quilt square.... but again, i was just using up scraps, trying out a maverick star , and thought...hmmmmmmmm wonder how that free motion quilting thing works????? so i gave it a whirl. lol. not as scary as i thought, nor as easy as i had hoped. lol. but, it is practice...and another coaster/trivet/pot holder thingy! I finally finished the "blue jean" quilt top i have been working on for my DS. I am terrified to quilt it. It is sooooooo heavy and soooooo big. I don't usually "do" small. oh well. Maybe my friends at the quilting group can help me figure it out...hint! hint!!

I went thrifting today...i hit on a gold mine! or at least had a good day shopping! I found all these beautiful sheets to cut down for crafts...quilting probably. I am just sort of starting a collection since i have the costuming of two Presidents to work on....and then a Blue jean quilt to make for my son..... I found a few other cool things, but no pictures yet.

running short on time today..but here it is day four...FABRIC!!! the journaling for today is on the back of that post card! I used fabric scraps to decorate the page...i kinds like it!
