We made the trip to my favourite quilt store, Sew Sisters, today as they had an Easter egg hunt on and I was looking for a few specific items. I came home with, first of all, these two fabrics for a basket block project I have planned. The pale fabric is a batik that has the faintest tints of blue and yellow. I got enough of it for the basket block project and for the sky quilt background.
Then, because I have decided to start collecting more batiks, thanks to the inspiration I get every time I look at Wanda’s blog, these 3 batik FQ’s jumped into my hands as well as the green Oriental FQ which I couldn’t resist and which is being added to the fabrics set aside for my Jane Austen patchwork quilt.
As part of the Easter egg hunt, when one was checking out, one opened a plastic egg and got whatever prize the slip inside indicated. I won these two pretty FQ’s.
The big find of the day was this! The perfect green batik for the Tropical Punch blocks! Somehow I knew I’d find the perfect green at Sew Sisters, and I did. Now to make the decision on how to set them.
‘Tis migraine season for me. Friday I could barely look at the computer screen and I know I deleted some unread e-mails by accident. If I haven’t responded to something, please e-mail me again. Today I thought it was pretty well gone but it has started to increase again. It’s also become rather windy in the last half hour or so, and I know that the intensity of a migraine seems to increase with wind.

Poor thing I do hope you’re feeling better. I had some 24 hour thing yesterday. The wind in Buffalo was amazing- same winds for you? That is the perfect green for your project – great find! I posted a pic for “the boys” on my blog – when you get a chance show them 🙂

Smudge is giving the “eye” as if to say ~ leave me be, I have a headache, too. The fabric you have for your blocks is perfect. You had that in mind and you knew you were right. As usual you’re always in design mode.Hope your head is better.
