I had another opportunities to get a quilting fix.
This weekend
the Colorado Quilting Council
put on it's annual
Quilt-A-Fair.
It's a combo of vendors, quilt show,
demos, and more vendors.
A slow economy?
Look out.
Quilters can move fast
when there's
new kits, pattern and fabric available.
My friends and I circled around
and through the booths.
Stopping,
considering,
rationalizing,
then making a few purchases.
One of my favorite booths
is an antique booth from Sioux Falls, SD.
I always seem to find something.
Sure enough,
underneath other things
were these delicious indigo blue and shirting
churn dash blocks.
There are 39 blocks
in mint condition.
Mostly machine stitched,
a few hand pieced,
but a wonderful collection of indigos and shirtings.
It's now been added to the list
of "some day."
Until Next Time-
Great fun! I love your purchase.
ReplyDeletegreat blocks! wonderful examples of indigo fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYou'll make something wonderful with these....one day
Pretty antique blocks!!
ReplyDeletePretty blocks; they will be fun to work with!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you shared those blocks. I happened across a new repro line of indigoes this weekend and was playing with them and my shirtings. You have inspired me to stop playing and start sewing - the indigo/shirting combo is a winner!
ReplyDeleteLove love Kyle! Such a versatile little block can't wait to see what you do with them.
