SHOPPING! My 'sewjo' has been well and truly gone lately while I recovered from pneumonia. I am feeling alot better but just haven't been able to get back in the swing of things yet, so instead I shop. Apparently my 'shopjo' never leaves the building :P
The first pic is of some fabric for my DS's Log cabin quilt. This is going to make up the centre block which will be foundation pieced. My original idea to use printed fabric died a slow death when I had trouble pre-washing the fabrics with colour fade and running. No matter what I tried the colours just were not the same after pre-washing, even when only for 10 minutes. So frustrated I put it aside and now a new idea is born!
The second pic is of some more fabrics I needed to get stuck into my ISpy quilt. Now that I have all the sashing and and enough different fabrics I can get started. I have a great idea in mind for the border for this quilt too, but you will have to wait and see.
And last night I actually did some sewing. Finished the sashing on my Stack & Wack quilt, cut the borders and its nearly ready to be sandwiched and quilted. It is looking fantastic and I think whoever ends up with it will be pleased.
I think my 'sewjo' is on its way back....

I love the fabric for your Ispy quilt. I have been thinking of doing one for a while, but I have so many things on the go....you know what it is like haha.
Can't wait to see the finished stack and whack!
I go shopping when I'm too tired to sew too!
