    Talking I know, I know...but I needed...

    More fat quarters, so I purchased more today.

    I'm doing a quilt in blacks, blacks & whites and whites and needed more fq. So while in the city, I purchased some.

    I know I said I wasn't going to, but you know what its like. A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do.

    FQs for a project are different. Right?

    Sounds like a fun quilt. Do you have a pattern?

    ~standing up~ My name is Kathy and I am a fabric addict.

    I can completely relate. I can not seem to get out of any store that has a decent fabric department without a least a little bit of fabric. I think that since this is our only vice that we are ok though. (you don't suppose chocolate could be a vice do you )

    I just knew fat quarters would be at the end of that sentence.

    FYI to all our new Village friends~Some people long to surround themselves with roses. CJ would like that too but would definately have many more fq's than flowers.
    She has oodles of them stashed all over her home.

    Enjoy running your fingers over your precious new additions CJ.

    No guilt CJ! You deserved every fat quarter you just purchased!

    I can't wait to see that quilt tho, bet it will be a treasure. Do you have a pic to post so we can see an advance?

    For me it is scrapbooking supplies. I did some pages for my sister while she was here and she thought she had to replace my supplies she used..
    So, she gave me 25$...I bought new scissors, some templates and a circle cutter..I am a happy girl..

    Don't think I will be running my fingers over the scissors or circle cutter though Dar..LOL
    OK Carolyn, but I bet you'll be gazeing lovingly at them and perhaps drool?.

    Fat quarters are 100% cotton (quilting material), cut in 18 x 22 inches. They are not the most economical way to purchase material BUT you have a much better variety of quilting material by purchasing them this way.

    Some quilters have only a few, other quilters have oodles and oodles of them. Course, I'm not saying which quilter I am.

    I can' t wait to see your quilt. The difference between CJ and me is that she MAKES things with them. Mine are all just dreaming about making it.
