The temptation was just too great, but in reality, I wasn't really that bad. Today was the start of the Greater Atlanta Shop Hop, and our LQS here in Newnan was a part of it for the first time. I am not going to any other shops, but out of a sense of loyalty , I felt that I should support my LQS. I won a nice door prize.........several patterns, small pieces of the special shop hop fabric and a box of beading thread.
Then I found a very nice book (they are my weakness, even more than fabric), "Quilts to Treasure" by Betty Neff. In it is a great, scrappy pattern perfect for using up some of the CW repro fabric I have........the name of it is "Settler's Star". And on the 40% off rack was some great border and setting fabric! Like I said, not really so bad, huh?
For some reason, for the first time in many years, I have had the urge to do some cross stitch. I found a special pattern from some of my favorite designers, Blackbird Designs, called "Moonlit Garden". I ordered it, along with the GA threads, and have started it. I am really having fun stitching it..........even though I DID NOT need another project. I will finish this one, I am sure, because I really like it and it is a nice change of pace. Also, it is not too large.
"Applied" to join the Stashbusters webring today. I love going from blog to blog, enjoying everyone's work, so I thought that it would be fun to belong to the webring.
Finished my Primitive Baskets rug and gifted it to my sister. Haven't posted it yet, so I will add that final thing for today.

Nice haul! Welcome to the stashbuster webring. We are glad to have you!
Good for you to think of supporting your LSQ ;o). Looks like nice finds to me. I used to cross stitch on linen myself. I really ought to have the finished work framed. I don't know how you can have so many hobbies going at the same time. For me, I think hand applique took over cross stitch. Keep well!
