There is no doubt about it...fabric is my addiction...a week or two ago, we stopped by
Lori's Pins & Needles...we were over to Paris for something else. But since we were in the neighborhood, I took my
Crumbs in the Corner quilt to show her, plus I wanted to look at her solid colored fabric.
I had no intention of shopping other than looking at the solid fabric. But a girl I know was working there...someone I had not seen in ages and ages...and she asked me if I knew the sale table was on sale for 50% off the lowest price. Well, thank-you very much, Mary, I did not know that. How kind of you to give me an excuse to go look. The above is the yardage I got...$4 per yard.
And the photo above and the one below are the fat quarters...I think they were $1 each...
This is one of the few times in life when I have gotten a good deal on something. But for those of us with any age on us and that have ever sewn and bought fabric in our younger years, who would have thought we would come to the day when $4/yard for cotton fabric was a good deal? I for sure wouldn't have.

I am slowly piecing a back for my small crumb quilt. Instead of using little small pieces, I am using chunks...at least for the center of it. Would like to have some bigger wider pieces for the rest of it, but am going to have to look and see what I can come up with.

It is so hot and humid here today. Roger mowed the yard and was soaked before he even came close to being done. I did house things--vacuuming, mopping, and a couple loads of laundry. And soon as he was done, I hung laundry out...
And when he had his shower and got cooled down a little, he cut up tomatoes and I buttered Italian bread and sprinkled with garlic salt, and fried it till it was toasty...and that was our lunch. I have been dreaming about that all winter long. Something I have been craving since our tomatoes ended last summer.
Now that I have some time, I think I will go play with my fabric for a while....
