Please don't hate me for being lucky, but I went shopping with another member of the Sacramento modern quilt guild after our montly SMQG meeting and I found more Tula Pink neptune and some full moon forest. We drove all the way to the bay area to a shop that was closing down.
However, the luck kind of run out. First it started with paying $12.95 a yard for the sucker, but I didn't have this print so I picked it up.
Then I couldn't leave with out getting something for the 4x5 modern bee.
Some color requests there that were also $12.95 a yard. Darn Bay Area prices. I guess you can charge more in Berkeley than in Sacramento.
Then instead of sewing on Sunday my husband had me work on this...
Yes that is our garage. I didn't get the true before picture but please imagine that on a whole car side of the garage. Anyone else out there have a garage problem? I know I do. It seems that we clean it and then explodes again and we have to clean it all over again.
Speaking of a problem. See this stack.
All the boxes and crates back there are my teaching books and K-2 classroom library. These have been hiding out in my garage for over a year. Taking up space. Ever since I decided to move up to 4th grade.
This week I have to go through them and decide what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. My neigbors are having a garage sale next weekend. I think I will sit out there selling books and teaching crap... I mean very important teaching books and toys that my students had used for centers.
Even with the cleaning and no quilting time, I did find time to check out my plants...
And look what I found..
Tomatoes! The first really harvest this year. There has only been two other tomatoes so far.
How was all of your weekends?
I hope you had fun!
I didn't get a really good deal though, bay area prices are well bay area prices. Just look at the next paragraph.

I have a stack like that! I'm a speech pathologist but I haven't been working the past two years so all my stuff is stacked up like that in my basement. Glad you found some good fabrics; sorry they weren't on sale!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend! Ok so paid $12.95 a yard but look at what you got - gorgeous fabrics! Nothing better than home grown tomatoes - sometimes I can't help myself and eat them for breakfast. My weekend consisted of a quick trip to San Diego, watching my boy play soccer and catching up my a week's worth of Google Reader!
