\"Cotton<\/a>
Cotton Patch, Lafayette, Calif, July 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A week ago Monday, I trekked over to Lafayette to take the 9000\u00a0 in to be repaired.<\/p>\n

Failure. They were closed. I thought about calling, but then didn’t, trusting that they would be open. I had to be over there anyway for a family event, so it worked out ok.<\/p>\n

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on whether you are my wallet or not), the Cotton Patch<\/a> is right across the street. I went over and looked around. I resisted a lot, but did buy a few things including those ever-so-tempting Japanese Quilt magazines. I bought 2 issues of Patchwork Quilt Tsushin.<\/p>\n

\"Purchases,<\/a>
Purchases, July 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See the turquoise and pink on the covers of those issues? I am like a bird magpie with shiny things when I see that color combination.<\/p>\n

I bought the pear pattern for my Grama, who perpetually needs something to do. We’ll see if it sparks her interest.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of nice fabrics, though I do miss their solids room. I tried to be restrained and just bought a couple of must have pieces. Dots, of course. The background of the green dot is the accent color of my living room.<\/p>\n

The magazines were the coup de grace, however. Those Japanese quiltmakers are dedicated. The intricacy of their work is a never-ending source of inspiration for me. I was pleased to see a couple of coffee\/tea\/cup quilts with block patterns in one of the issues! YAY! Now I can consider the purchase research for the Tarts.<\/p>\n

I am still working on that one last section of the Tarts, so these designs will be good inspiration. I thought of using a pattern to piece that section, but was disabused of that idea pretty quickly. Back to the drawing board!<\/p>\n

I almost never rip the patterns sheets out of magazines. One of the issues’ pattern sheet was already ripped out and I didn’t notice until I got home. I took the opportunity to look at it and had no idea what I had been missing. I am not much of a maker of patterns, but the inspiration\u00a0 on that sheet is worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n

Marsha McCloskey has a new ruler out, which I bought from her website<\/a>. I bought it because of the 1\/16th inch measurements. I was trying to cut pieces with 1\/16th inch measurements for the Omega Teacher Pillow<\/a> and was wildy unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
