A Wee Shopping Trip

I had lunch this afternoon with my friend, Paulette. We sat and gabbed for almost 3 hours. After leaving her place, I stopped into the Quilter’s Cupboard to see what all they had that might entice me. My existing stash is quite vast so I certainly didn’t NEED anything but I was quite drawn to this Moda line of fabrics by Barbara Brackman:

Quilter’s Cupboard sells 5” square packs with all the fabric in the line - 42 in a pack. It is much more economical for them to cut and collate the squares from yardage than order the 5” charm packs from their distributor.

My plan is to make more quilted, checkerboard projects. For that I like a balance of light and dark fabrics. This line - Morris Manor - didn’t have enough light fabrics so I bought some yardage of the companion light fabric.

I still have a bunch of lightweight fusible interfacing left over from making masks during COVID so will spend my evening gridding lengths of it into 2 1\2” squares. 

Lunch with a dear friend, fun shopping, and beautiful weather has made for a really enjoyable day.
