The greatest thing happened this morning. All my plans/appointments fell through! So I sat in the van with the heat running, wondering what to do after dropping my youngest off to preschool. Quilt shop? HECK YEAH! I checked my cash situation and there was the funds from the flea market. EVEN BETTER - it's the last Friday of the month and our local quilt shop shop has 40% off when you buy the bolt. Too good to be true isn't it? But wait - it gets better... there was a notice of public space available for quilting get togethers!
Pinch me. Did I die and go to quilters' heaven? Must have. Here's what I bought there: some fat quarters on a bolt of muslin.
I'm so excited to get modern fabrics in my favorite colors!! Here's some more arrangements. These are Canadian fat quarters - so it's several inches bigger (1/4 meter instead of a 1/4 yard).
I know exactly what I'm going to do with them too! And I can hardly wait. I got more browns and antique yellows to go with the pretty gardening fabric I bought at guild night. I'm even going to try incorporating grey into a quilt.
The only thing I regretted was not bringing a camera with me. Periwinkle Quilting is so darn pretty inside!! (Love the opened back space!)
Now for more planning and dreaming while I wash up all this fabric. In the mean time, CALL ME or email me or leave a post below if you are interested in a quilting bee / mom's night out / teaching & sharing evenings. Apparently the new space has Friday nights available in the Saskatoon / Broadway area for a $5 drop in fee. : )

I love to see someone else get so excited about all the pretty colors! I have some beautiful fabric from the quilting store in Fernie, that I can't bear to cut into!!!
I would be interested in a sharing/teaching night, ( can I still do a mom's night out when my baby is 22??) but Friday nights might be tough for me to commit to on a regular basis. Will keep watching for more details :)
Hmm, I might be interested. But like Erron, I would knit or crochet. Did I tell you that Jenn Peak is starting to quilt? You should see all the little squares and triangles and exacto knives all around her house. You should give her a call!

I started quilting because of her! She's done it for a long time. : ) I'll ask her... : )
I spoke to the woman who owns the place, and she said space limit of 8. Fridays will be open drop in night "Quilt 'till you Wilt" (impossible, I know...) from 7 pm on. Open to the public already. They aren't done renos yet. I'll keep in tough! ; )
