Getting Quilty

It’s been a while since I finished the Kaleidoscope quilt, and I’ve had bundles of fabric ready to be made into something for a while.  I gave in to one of them the other day and cut them into 6” squares, which then became 9-patches, and then ended up chopped again into a Disappearing 9-patch.

And now I have a quilt top.

I went to JoAnn Fabrics to get lots of batting when it was on sale, but they told me it wasn’t on sale, so I didn’t get it.  Turns out they were wrong (surprised?) and I missed out on that.  I don’t have good experiences with that store…

So, here it will remain until batting goes on sale again.

This quilt has organic Transportation, Michael Miller Ta Dots, Lakehouse dots, Snorkel, Half Moon, and… something else that has totally escaped my brain at the moment.

And, if you were wondering, the craft night was really fun. Just a few people showed up, but we gabbed the night away.  I had them bring a project, but I also had a few cheap/simple things for people to do too if they wanted.  And food was present :)

Gotta put that Pyrex to work, you know.

Pin It!

Hi Melanie!

Jo-Ann's has a 20% off coupon that expires on Sunday (28th) posted on their Facebook page. Love the colors of the quilt!

Yeah, NOW it's only packaged batting. I think they got their fliers mixed up...lame.

Cool, that top looks fab. Glad people enjoy your craft night, I think you're the first person I've ever seen using their pyrex collection!

Those colors and patterns are fantastic!! PS often times their coupons (the 40 or 50% off a regular priced item ones) are the same or better deals than the sale prices. I haven't had as many problems at my Joanns since the store moved. Sorry that happened to you.

Always take the ad with you. And if they are right you can always get coupons off their phone app. They will take the code right off the phone. :-)

I wish I could have come to your party! Adorable quilt. Seriously - your baby is too good to let you do all this.

I loved Craft Night and can't wait to do it again. I saw that Hobby Lobby had a bunch of cute Letter Press templates on clearance for $5.00. I thought of you. :)
