Julie and I made the pilgrimage to drop off quilts with Colleen the other day.
Four of my quilts and Julie’s City Sampler are all in the capable hands of Colleen. I also left a small panel quilt of my Mom’s there. That was a mess. It had no backing or binding. Colleen had some perfect backing fabric and I will send her a binding in a few days.
I learned from making the pilgrimage with Tim that I have to plan a lunch break. We stopped at Black Bear Diner because the area is a mecca of chain stores and restaurants. Fortunately, they have gluten free options, so I indulged in a BLT and ate the french fries.
On the way back, we stopped at Bay Quilts. They close at 3pm during the week! We only had about 15 minutes to shop, but we both found a few things. I like that shop. It is big and they have good fabric.
The two background fabrics I purchased are from the same line as the fabric I used for the Triumphant background. I didn’t realize it until the clerk was cutting the fabric.
I also finally indulged in that color set of fat quarters. I have been looking at it for a year at least. I need to find a good way to use it.
