Parents Visit

Today was my Dad's appointment with his ALS specialist. This meant that my parents had to come threw my town. I decided to ride along with them. It was a good afternoon for the three of us, but as we already knew my dad's ALS is progressing. We are lucky because his disease is moving slowly.

When we returned from the doctor my mom and I wanted to visit AC Moore which is having a going out of business sale. As you can see below I enjoyed shopping. My mom and I were in AC Moore for over an hour. Bo meet us there after work, and then it was off to dinner. I had one busy day.

Do you ever sew or do you just buy sewing stuff?

This title could only mean one thing - more fabric and pattern shopping!! I did sew this weekend, but I will have to post those pictures tomorrow.


The first three fabrics will be used to make reusable grocery bags. The Alexander Henry fabric will be used to make some Roller Coasters by Juliette Lanvers. I plan to use them in my sewing room which I hope to redo in the next couple of months. I would say weeks but that would be overly optimistic. I also hope to have a few scraps of it left over to use in an eye spy quilt for my nephew. The last fabric pictured will be used to make a Built by Wendy top. At least this is the plan I have at this moment for these fabrics.


The patterns I purchased. I'm guessing I will more than likely only use three of them. Bo and I play a guessing game on how many of the pattern I purchase will actually get used. I probably use about 25% of them, but I sure do get a lot of inspiration from the envelope covers and the fabrics and layouts that they use. So that more than makes up for having to many patterns.

Shopping?

Apparently I have shopped a lot lately. More than I probably should have, but every thing was on sale!! I just wish my husband would see it that way.

The red fabric is just adorable and I hope to cut out an appron of it this week.

The second picture is of trim I found last week at Hobby Lobby.

Oh, I love it when Hancock has patterns on sale - Not that I need anymore

More trim that I will have to find a project to use them on. Until these finds I didn't have any trim items at my house.

Well, that is what I have purchased in the last could of weeks. What have you purchased lately?
