Richelle's What's Cookin' Tote

One of our neighbor girls is graduating from Geneva High this afternoon and will be attending Findlay in the fall.  She will be studying Business and Culinary Arts.  With plans to be a pastry chef.  When I saw the What's Cookin' fabric line from Loralie I knew I had to make her a tote.  I purchsed the fabric at Mara's Fabric and Gifts.

Colorful Friday!!

Quilts & Sew Forth recently moved to a new location.  To celebrate their new opening anyone that spent $25 got a ticket to enter in drawing to be 1 of 10 people that could win a $250 gift card.  I had 2 tickets in the drawing and I was selected as 1 of the 10!!!  I was pretty excited and showed up at the store this moring at 8:30 a.m. to try and win.  I was second to pick my key, but the third lady picked the winning key.  She was pretty excited.  The other 9 each received a goody bag.  I hit the 40% off area and added to my stash.

Then I stopped at JoAnn's to buy some cording to use in a couple purses I will be making.

From there I went to Mara's Fabric and Gifts she had Moda's Northwood's Botanical on sale and I needed some for the backing and binding of my Simple Star wallhanging and Train to Grandma's

She has also added a lot to her clearance area.  I purchased 3 Robert Kaufman Fusion's for $4 a yard!!

I hope you have a very Colorful Friday!!

My visit to Mara's Fabrics and Gifts

Last week I visited Mara's Fabric and Gifts check our her new website.  I really enjoy visiting with Mara and her husband.  I showed them the Ohio State quilt that I'm finishing the binding on and my Stars and Stripes Allover quilt.  I spotted this  fabric by Sandy Irish for Blank Quilting, I'm not sure what I will do with it yet, but Black and White can be added to a number of colors.  Especially Scarlet and Gray!!
