Helen had disappeared for a bit and when I went in search of her, I found her examining some pre-cut stacks. So I thought I would help her and I ended up with two of the stacks in my take-home pile! Of course you can click on the photo for a closer look. Which you might want to do . . . .
There's this stack, more about which later in this post, and then there is . . .
The first fun step, of course, is acquiring the pink and brown fabrics. I suspect that the HST making will get a little bit tedious, but I have at least eight months before Carrie will be ready for a big girl bed. I'd like to get started on this project during this summer and perhaps even be getting it quilted early in the winter.
I'd picked up the orange earlier in the morning without knowing what I was going to do with it -- this is something I don't often do, actually. But I was dazzled by it and planned to buy a piece just to have on hand. Then I realized that it would really look great with those dancing ladies. I think I see a big bag for myself here, yes?
I'm going to use these for the Quilt for Melanie Wilkes swap. In fact, tonight I cut and stitched some nine-patches from them.
Okay, back to the darling little stack at the top of the post. They are my give-away in late celebration of my 700th post a week or so ago. You know what to do -- leave a comment on this post and I'll draw a random number on Friday for a winner. No extra chances for posting about it on your blog -- My goal here is not to increase my readership but rather to do something nice for the peoploe who hang out here regularly. Like you.
Oh, and by the way, thanks to Helen, Honna and me, the economy of the Muddy Creek area is intact. Not to worry.

What great fun you and your quilty friends had - quilty retail therapy is always fun.
I absolutely love your dancing ladies- it is so funky looking- i am sure you are going to make a very cute bag with it.
Giveaways are such fun- thanks for hosting this lovely one.

Nothin' like contributing...
You sure found a bargain- money doesn't grow on trees ya' know! LOL
happy 700th post (says she who has not past the 60s)!
=)
You are so lucky, I have no fabric stores near me at all, everything is on line or a train trip.
Lots of luck with your next 700.

What gorgeous fabrics! I so envy you the chance to shop at Sauders - but I think you probably already know that.
I hope to shop there about this time next year....and in the meantime will hope I'm lucky enough to win your give-away!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your blog. I don't often comment, but I DO read every post.
:)
