I got an email that Bits N Pieces, my local quilt shop, was having a Labor Day Sale. I rushed over this afternoon with the intention of looking for quilt backings. Sales fabric was on sale for 30% off the sale price. Sales fabrics are usually $7/yard. What a great bargain! I bought this fabric for Step Down Quilt. The quilt top is made up of large squares so I thought little colored squares would be perfect for the back!
I chose this fabric for the backing for Green Tea and Sweet Beans. I love the pink and the large flowers. It's colorful and reminds me of the flowers appliqued on the quilt top.
I couldn't resist this pattern. It's by the same person who came up with the original oval Jelly Roll Rug. I love that this one is rectangle. I will definitely use scraps to make this one. This pattern looks like a lot of fun!
I'm ending this post with a picture of Tiger Woods. I spent the day yesterday at the Dell Technologies Championship in Norton, MA. My husband and I attend this tournament every year. This year, Tiger Woods was one of the golfers. It's the first time I've ever seen him. We had a fun day but both came home tired from the sun and all the walking.
The price of fabric catches my eye for sure----you definitely "scored"! Love the floral...so pretty and the little squares are so fun. I'm not a golfer but enjoy hiking/the out of doors and would have enjoyed the experience, I'm sure!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Doreen! I always try to get fabric on sale especially for the backing. I couldn't resist the prices! I'm not a golfer either but it was fun to walk outside and get the fresh air. My husband enjoys it so much and likes when I join him!
DeleteBeautiful fabrics--I love the flowered one--perfect for your Green Tea quilt....
ReplyDeleteMy Mom was a huge tiger Woods fan...great that you got to see him play in person...hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! I had a fun day walking around the golf course yesterday even though I'm not a golf fan. I was so happy to get that fabric for those prices! Fabric can be so expensive, as I'm sure you know!
DeleteAlways fun to shop a fabric sale - so many possibilities! That floral fabric is gorgeous. I am a golf fan myself, and would have loved the chance to see Tiger play. I've only been to one pro golf tournament, and those guys are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb! I had so much fun at the golf tournament. My husband is the big fan but I really enjoyed it! Buying fabric on sale is always a good time! I love to get fabric at the best price I can find!
DeleteSounds like an awesome time. Great fabric scores
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! I had a very fun long weekend off!
DeleteBuying fabric on sale is always a treat! The weather on Saturday was perfect to be out on the golf course, even for a non-golfer.
ReplyDeleteI really had fun that day at the tournament. I think I enjoyed buying fabric even more!
