fabric diet needed...ASAP

Well, I'm back from vacation and bought a whole lot of fabric that I didn't really need. But I'm tired of liking something, then waiting, then having it not available. So I bought it!

I had a great time at my mom's and the kids had a blast. But I'm happy to be home and ready to get sewing again!

Here's what I got:

Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane. All 50% off from a lqs in Rockford, IL

6 1/2 yards of Anne Kelle's Remix for Robert Kaufman @ 70% off from a lqs in Belvidere, IL. (yes, I bought all that was left on the bolt. I paid $18 for all of it including tax!)

Some dots to go with my "Flower Sugar" fabrics. purchased from Hancock Fabrics in Rockford, IL. One is a Robert Kaufman that they accidentally didn't charge me for.

Michael Miller's Lil' Cowpokes and Lil' Cowgirl and a blue bandanna print from the same line. I couldn't resist, it was too darn cute! Purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Some miscellaneous prints from Hobby Lobby that were all on sale 30% off. 

and of course, some of those Denyse Schmidt fabrics that are now at Joann's that everyone is talking about. Another that I was not going to miss the boat on!

Deliveries Deliveries!

Don't ya love mail!?! I got a box yesterday from Crystal. She's been trying to purge some of her stuff she doesn't want or really need. She also knows that lately I've been on this HUGE "Vintage" kick. I am obsessed with vintage sheets and it's been gradually spilling over into everything vintage. I love it! All of it...the furniture, the music, the clothing, the way of life....I could go on and on. I can honestly say that if I could time travel I'd go back to the 40s and 50s. I would happily wear a gorgeous swing dress and heals, have dinner in the oven, lipstick on and greet my hubby at the door with a cocktail in hand for him to sit and relax. (I know...I could do it now, but nah...)Anyway.....Here's what I got from the lovely Crystal:

5 Vintage sheets, a "Dream On" charm pack, 2 adorable flax-seed hand warmers, 2 Mendocino coasters which also came with matching little napkins (not pictured) that got commandeered by my daughters to use as doll blankets. All beautiful stuff! Thanks, Crystal!

Then today the mailman delivered some fabric that I ordered from Above All Fabric who is having a great sale of $3.99 & $5.99 fabrics! I seriously think I found a new "favorite" online fabric store! On top of great prices, they have $5 shipping (NO LIMIT!!) in the US! And they are FAST! I placed my order on the 26th and got it 3 days later.

I've been really wanting to make a quilt with purples, navy blues, and lime greens. (some of the Amy Butler prints are a little too pink, but I'm sure I'll find other uses for those!) So now, I'm hunting and gathering purples, dark blues, and lime greens.

I am absolutely LOVING Anthology's High Society in the Lime Palette

Have a Spooktacular Halloween! 

Yay for beautiful fabric!

Lookie what I got delivered over the weekend!

It's for Freckled Whismy's Charm Pack Quilt Along! I'm so excited to start this after getting the fabric! It's so beautiful! It's called Botany by Lauren and Jessi Jung. Fabric purchased from Burgundy Buttons.

and this:

Treetop Fancy by Tina Givens (purchased from QuiltHome)

and this:

Tropical by Tina Givens (also purchased from QuiltHome $3.58/yard!)

and a lovely pattern by Carly that I've been wanting since she released it! I think I'm going to use the "Tropical" fabric for that. 

Can't wait to start sewing!
