Sunday Sevens is a weekly series of posts containing seven-ish pictures from our week. Thank you to Natalie of Threads and Bobbins for getting it all started.
This week was sort of all about new fabric, which is weird considering how rarely I buy fabric, but it was a BARGAIN, so it totally doesn’t count.
On Monday, I put the cage around our tomato plants as they’re getting big enough to need one (will also keep out the neighbor kitty that’s been digging in there–BAD KITTY).
My mother and sister brought me back fat quarters from Oregon!
Better pic:
On Wednesday, Chrissa from SCRAP Tri-Cities called to say they’d just received a HUGE donation of fabric and did I have any time to come in and help measure it all? Which donation led to a fabric sale, which led to this:
Hey, don’t judge–all this cost me less than $10!
And then there were these on Thursday–$1.50 for the lot!
I’m pondering what to do with them, but I keep coming up with some sort of folded-fabric, 3-D quilt. Would have to be a wall quilt, because this is all wool and silk and will have to be dry-cleaned. Hmmm . . . .
By Friday, I was going a little batty due to sewing withdrawal, so I sewed up the first two blocks for my Cozy Afternoon Quilt.
And Saturday, I did the second purple block for my scrap quilt.
Have a great week, everybody, and I hope you’re able to get some crafty time in there.

Hopefully, you saw the whole post–I hit “publish” rather than “save draft” and put up the post half-finished! Had to rush and finish, then update. Why, yes, I am a dork. 😉

Oh, you know it! My goal was actually to find whatever orange and brown fabrics they had because I’ll need more of those for my scrap quilt, but then they had all those other pretty things . . . . 😉

Nice fabric haul…your mind must be racing with possibilities! I’m doing the Cozy Afternoon Quilt too in applique…I wanted more practice with applique.

Thanks, Natalie! I’m kicking around some ideas having to do with those two coordinating fabrics on the left side of the picture . . . can’t decide if I want to wear it or quilt it! 😉

Thank you! I love purple, too–was just considering making a top with some bright purple crushed velvet that I found in my stash . . . too much or WAY too much? 😉
