Me: "Are you ready?"
Mom: "You want spaghetti? Now? We just ate!"
2. Easter finery was not meant to be worn with a winter coat.
3. It seems to me that if one were invited to sing at the Detroit Tigers' Opening Day that one would know a) how the song goes and b) how to sing. Kid Rock did neither. I understand the need to represent your roots, but dude, come on! How can you not know "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"????
4. Fabric abstinence only goes so far when confronted with little bundles of extreme happiness.
3.5" of Easter-y cheer! Adorable 4.5" basket handmade by Mom.I don't even remember when I stopped buying fabric. November, maybe? Anyway, I lasted a week short of my goal (the IQS this weekend) and would have held out, but these little fat eighths wouldn't let me leave the store without them. They were way too cute to resist!

Those fabrics are adorable!! I am counting the minutes until Rosemont!! I am going tomorrow night with some friends. YAY!! ~ Jennie
Ooh...I need to look into going to the quilt show this weekend. Thanks for the reminder!
Yep, I'm also trying not to buy fabric until the show (I'm going Saturday). I wasn't entirely successful - I bought some brown Kona because I had a coupon and I got some "free" fabric from a quilt shop to make a sample quilt. That's not too bad for me. I've been on a fabric diet for almost a year now.
Hats off to those who have been on a fabric diet. I admire your fortitude. I am vowing to myself that AFTER the quilt show in Rosemont, that will be it. My hope/plan is to go into next spring at this time before purchasing anything but batting. It almost hurts to think about it, but I am resolute. Those little bundles are yummy.
kate! easter observations aside, i just really like the photo!!
may i commend you on holding out that long!! holy moly i would never have made it (partly because i work in a quilt store-partly because i am just a horrible person) such a sweet little bundle
i love meeting local quilt bloggers-stop by anytime to quilt play shop in grayslake!!
im am being good tho, i am NOT going to the iqs because i know i would spend over $200 in the blink of an eye and i just dont have that to spend right now.... :o)
That looks like a decorating accessory for the house at this point so it shouldn't count toward stash.
ahhh, sigh polka dots and gingham...
the best, ever. i would have brought them home too!
My parents are both hard of hearing. My mother refuses to wear her hearing aid and my father refuses to admit he has any hearing loss. Whenever we go to their house for any length of time, we leave hoarse from shouting at them and near-deaf ourselves from the volume of the television.
I can only imagine what the sound of Kid Rock not singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game over my dad's Ear-Splitter Space TV would do to me.
totally cute bundle of fabrics...and after that much time without internet and with family...you deserve a little fabric reward!
i wouldn't have been able to resist those cute little fabrics, either.
