Sandra is venturing into her first sew-along featuring one of her own patterns and I'm going to join in and invite you to do the same!
The fun starts next week, but she has released the fabric requirements and tips this past week and you can see them here, or by clicking on the button to the right entitled "Freefall Spring Quilt Along".
The quilt is only 38" square, so would make a great wallhanging, tablecloth, etc.
I've just been out and about and on the way home we decided to swing by my local quilt shop to get some background fabric and the main focus fabric needed for this project....
Hmm, the green fabric is so much more fresh and cheerful in real life.
I did well, as I was entitled to a free metre of fabric thru' the shop's loyalty programme....and because it's St. Patrick's Day the green fabric was 20% off....nice!
I'm determined that the rest of the fabrics will be pulled from my stash!!!
This week also starts an Instagram sew-along for Jen Kingwell's pattern, Long Time Gone.
I'm starting to see a definite pattern here....I find it so hard to resist when something is called a sew-along or quilt-along!!!!
Hopefully that's it for this year (she typed while crossing her fingers).
On a non-quilty note:
For the last few weeks we've been trying to have two meat-less days per week, and we've been quite successful.
What has been most surprising to me is, by following some really nice recipes, there are so many flavours and ingredients that we haven't even missed the meat at all. Mind blown!....lol
Today, before the side-track to the quilt shop, we tried an Indian restaurant in Brantford called The Everest Grill. Everything was so fresh and tasty, I had to mention it here and recommend it! There were many "regular" dishes on the menu, as well as extensive vegetarian and vegan choices. Also, great service and prices!
I am linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict for Can I Get A Whoop Whoop!.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
