Broke my diet.......

I did manage to get some sewing today but before I show you what I made I will show you what arrived in the mail today from Quilters Quarters.   I was a bit naughty and broke my "no buying fabric diet"! 
My friend, Celia, sent me an email from Quilters Quarters promoting a deal buy 15 quarters and get 15 free!   What is a girl to do???  The same deal also included the opportunity to buy a yardling - a one yard cut from the end of a roll, same deal - buy one for $5, get one free.  And yes, I weakened.  Pretty cool huh!  The lucky coincidence is that all the fat quarters go with some fabric that I am using as a feature fabric in a Christmas present quilt I have to make - just perfect.

The same website sent another email - buy 15x 1 yard cuts and get 15 for free - I did NOT succumb to that one!

And now for today's sewing...another laundry bag.  This one is for my butcher's friend's son - how could I resist.  I just hate the thought of another soldier losing his laundry - ugh - perish the thought!
I also did some other sewing but I can't show you yet.  I made the blocks for my swap with Celia.  You will have to wait till she has received them before I can show you.

My sisterhood friends are coming tomorrow night for dinner and I am making Chicken in peanut and cumin sauce, roast potatoes and Mars Bar mud cake - the others are bringing food too.  There is never a danger of us going hungry at any of our get togethers - always the opposite!!! 

So probably no so much sewing tomorrow - but lots of laughter, no doubt too much food - I think I will survive!!

Till next time.............happy stitching!

  8. I agree that even if you don't need more fabric, that deal would be hard to pass up. The food might be hard to pass up as well.

  9. I don't think I could have resisted either - call me "weak-willed"!
