Fabric report and a great bag giveaway.....

First the giveaway......Kim at Bitty Bits and Pieces is having a very nice bag giveaway. Her work is top-quality, so you may want to click on the link and visit there to see if you can be the lucky winner!!! If you feel so inclined, tell her I sent you. She has a very nice blog, so if you've not read it yet, you may want to become a follower there.

And now a fabric report. Yesterday I went to my favorite quilt shop, Serendipity, with my buddy, Kaye. We both made purchases that made us very happy. Kaye got a really cute purse pattern (The Two-Hour Tulip Purse Pattern by Janice Pope) and fabric to make it. She also got the first two BOM kits for a butterfly quilt that the shop is doing right now. I added to my batik collection with the 13 fat quarters pictured below. I then cut the fat quarters and started sewing some sections for the blocks of the quilt I talked about the other day here.....the one I will make with my batiks. It's an easy quilt to assemble....the most difficult part will be juggling around the blocks until I'm happy with the color arrangement since I'm making it such a multi-colored quilt to feature my entire batik collection.

Your batiks are beautiful. I found a fabric store today and bought two batiks. One will be the binding on Alabama Escargot and the other is just because. I will be picturing them on the blog next post.

Batiks are so versatile! Stampin' Quilter Barb and I have been collecting them recently as well. We are using them in our scenic applique projects. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
