I was going to post I'm a quilt materialoholic but that just didn't look right. I got my income tax return recently and while I need to save most of it to help move or get a new place when I retire, I knew I would have to keep some of it to just spend. Get it out of my system because that is what I use my income tax return for....to spend. It's my "big ticket spending" usually but not this year.
I didn't spend it all willy nilly. I ordered some more slacks for work since they were on sale for 50% off. I picked out a couple of items that I've been looking at and they too were on sale. In fact I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some material for quilting since they were on sale too.
You might recognize some of these fabrics since I have used them in projects before. Between them all, I paid either $3 a yard up to $5.99 a yard. Some time I will fold them to fit the area they will be stored in.
I have taken a few more stitches on my cross stitch quilt blocks. I have three packages of the blocks with 6 blocks in each one. Tomorrow I should finish the 3rd block in package 1. I'm debating if I want to put sashing in between the blocks or not. It will make it larger which would be nice. I believe I have enough blocks to make it a twin size but I'll see after laying it all out. If I did, it would probably be a dark blue since the blocks are all done in three different shades of blue.
Then I took a short nap. I mean I laid down and thought I'd snooze for about 30 minutes to an hour. I got up after 15 minutes and couldn't go back. So what do you do when your nap time or down time is interrupted? I made spaghetti. :) I will eat that both today and tomorrow. I might make lentils tomorrow. I might make mashed potatoes. I will probably make both. LOL.
Time to get off the blog and the internet before it tempts me to spend more money.
I hope everybody had a great Valentine's Day yesterday and a great day today.
Until next time....Keep crafting.
