NYC Stimulus

Most of my retail therapy was done prior to going to NYC but I knew that a few things would beg to come home with me. My box arrived yesterday. Yes, I had my purhcases shipped. I packed a carry on and really didn't have room for many extras on the return trip, plus it's just easier that way. I think every quilter that went to NYC last week now owns this book.

What an encyclopedia of quilts, the photos are amazing. I have only flipped through once so far, but I know this will bring me hours of enjoyment and inspiration.

I went to the Red and White show on Monday and by then some of the gift items I was going to purchase had sold out, namely the magnet set. Not to worry, there was a lot of other items to purchase. Here are my souvenirs on a yard of Rich Red that I picked up at City Quilter.

I couldn't resist this Stamp pattern as well. They had the sky fabric in stock so a yard of that made it's way into my suitcase as well. They have so many great NYC fabrics so if you haven't checked them out, click here

So I did really well, resisting all the gorgeous fabrics and treasures and trinkets. And then after seeing this post over at Humble Quilts, I went here. One yard of red isn't enough for a two color quilt. Now a package with 10 yards of Rich Red Kona solids is making it's way across the country to my sewing room. It's all Lori's fault, she tempted me with her post!
I see some two colored quilts in my future.
