HEHE BOXING

Hello my friends, hehe,, did anyone go BOXING sales....well, I just happened to go to F...Land and boy what I found for little moola... flannel. Also went to W....Mart and found some nice brush plaids for little moola...hehe.......OK so I have a problem , just a little one called: "Addicted to fabric ".,, I re-organized and cleaned my sewing room (once more) and I have a little more area, nice and bright,, we brought Little Gracie to the spare room downstairs and it fits perfectly,, I had put together the stitch regulator but to my chagrin ,,, we had a missing part, so off it goes back to it place and new one has been ordered...Darn, wanted to work on my quilt...oh well, cest la vie...lol... Now I have started to cut some squares for another rag quilt (with the flannel I got), also I will have to try to use up my (just a little big) stash... before I go buy more...humm I'll have to go searching for more quick patterns...lol... I do have a new quilt book by Bonnie over at http://www.quiltville.com/ called Scraps & Shirttails (signed by Bonnie, wow) (check out her website ( http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com/) and also her blog at quiltville's quips & snips) see on my side bar.... well, I'll have to try joining a stash buster site.... anyone have any suggestions...feel free to guide me,,,I also finished my loto block, woohoo, next ...lol...til next blog...
