One of my weekly meetings takes me in the general vicinity of a few thrift stores; one being the outlet bins. I wouldn't drive from my house to the bins because when it is all said and done, there's no guarantee they will have any fleece blankets & it's far enough away to take both gas and time. Right now fleece blankets are top of my thrifting list.
Which is why I came home with this!

It's a sweet vintage cross stitch circa 1980s. I might have paid about 75¢ for it. Definitely worth rescuing! It's a nice addition to my vintage needlework collection.
As much as I hate to admit it, I might be well stocked at the moment for fleece blankets! The last big group I bought for $1.50/each and for a large fleece blanket that's a great price. So, ya know, that keeps the hunt going. Plus, I will use all of them for the charity quilts.
Here's a little improv triangle quilting I stitched on the last quilt. It marks #46 Finished! Woot!!
I'll be spending the majority of the week in my studio sewing. My schedule looks clear & it's still too hot outside to do much of anything else.
I had an excellent weekend jammin' at The Crimson Vagabond Roadshow. This is Laura's 7th year producing the Roadshow. She works all year to make the weekend happen. This year was by far the Best! So many thoughtful and well executed dance numbers, the club was intimate and appealing & the audience interacted joyfully! It was just great on so many levels. I'm really proud of Laura for working her vision!
My favorite Jam Boss, Mr. B.
His drum workshops filled immediately. As part of Hands of Fatima band they really brought down the house for the closing act. Live music with belly dancers is very invigorating! Fun!
One of my friends came with me and she jumped right on the stage and danced when the audience is asked to join on stage!

Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
It sounds like you had a lot of fun over the weekend! Those fleece blankets will be used up in no time. I do like your improv triangle quilting. How did the pantograph go?
ReplyDeleteI stitched the pantograph yesterday. I am happy to see where they might be able to take my quilting; especially with the charity quilts. I think they may turn into a real asset. I'm hoping staring at a big blank quilt canvas will be a thing of the past once I buy a few that have some graphic appeal. I have more appreciation for their usefulness than I did when I first got my longarm. And, my skill has improved tremendously!
DeleteI bet your skill has improved. LOVE your drive in charity quilts. Keep it going!
