Shop Hop

 HEY!  THIS IS OUR 100th POST!



Feeling lonesome for you both today (now yesterday.) I went on a fabric shop hop and really wished I had some company. The good news is, shop hops are awesome! Great deals and free prizes.




This is what I bought.  Two quilt patterns, some yardage to make a pillow from a dresden plate I pieced from yellow vintage sheets, some random cuts that were too good of deals to pass up, and a noteworthy charm pack that was 40% off.   I think I paid $2 for the turquoise hounds tooth and it's 3/4 of a yard.  That was probably my best deal of the day. 





Jenn, isn't this the prettiest color of purple? 






Here's what I got for free: a book that shows all the quilt stores in the US, a pattern, A swatch buddies ring, a measuring tape, a cute wax bee thread conditioner, a fat eighth, a whole stack of free block patterns,  and eight 6.5" squares.  The shop in Gardner Village always has a scrap basket with these 6-7" squares for 25 cents.  Whitney picked some out last time because she wants to sew a little quilt together.  I got these to add to her pile, but when I went to the register the lady asked if I brought any little girls with me.  Apparently they were giving two away to each little girl.  She gave them all to me for free since I had four little girls at home.  Wasn't that sweet?

At each shop you can enter to win extra prizes and $50-$100 gift certificates.  Fingers crossed!  Apparently the hop in the fall is way bigger and better.  They give away several sewing machines!  Nice $1500 sewing machines.  It's at the end of October.  Don't you wanna join me?!?
