My Mom loved to quilt and never passed up a bargain on material...
....and so there I was browsing Cheryl's booth at House at 755 when I was immediately drawn to this pretty bundle

  28. Oh that is beautiful fabric. I can imagine what a beautiful quilt it will make.

  29. That is so cool. I am your newest follower. I scrolled through some of your other posts and had to LOL at the Target grain sack towel story. I did the same thing! They are okay in my decor, but it was as though I was possessed-MUST HAVE THEM! I bought FOUR! I thought about giving 2 away as a giveaway, but then just washed them up and decided to use them anyway. The power of suggestion, right?

    Have a great day,
    Judy

  30. I love Rachel Ashwell fabrics, I see you have a few of them and can't wait to see your finished project. Thanks so much for visiting me and in answer to your question about my shiny floors is that this flooring wasn't finished till all that long ago and the room itself isn't in constant traffic like the rest of my home! take care, Maryann

  34. Diane,
    What a beautiful find! You are probably too young to stay still and quilt although I made a quilt in my thirties. You have time.
