My next Christmas project :)

I stepped into the quilt shop today. Look what I found. Isn't this adorable!
There were a few projects that I wanted to nab, but one at a time. I am trying to not jump ahead of myself. Ya I know nearly impossible.
But my new way of thinking is, I can't buy until I finish a project first. Think it will work? Nah me neither teehee.
Well I was wondering how much this panel was as a price wasn't on it. I have only bough panels from the States, as I couldn't find any in my town. The Halloween panel was $6.95 US. So I knew it would cost a tad more. It was $10.00 plus our 13% tax.
It wasn't until I came home that I noticed that the panel was folded and this is beside Santa and the tree.
Bonus!!
Now I wonder what is to be done with the fabric post cards and the diamond shapes. Anyone know?
Today I went out with my SIL and friend Sharon.
We went out for lunch at a new restaurant, 5 Forks. They just finished building the restaurant this month. It was really nice in there. The food was OK. I just ordered the sweet onion chicken sandwich. Like I said it was OK, I was expecting sweet onions but it tasted more like a pesto sauce on it. Which I don't care for.
Then we went to the quilt store, picked up bagels for the girls, and I bought Halloween treats for the trick or treater's. I should hide the treats, because in this house they will disappear like magic.

Hope your Wednesday was a creative one.

  5. The fabric quilt panels are great! FYI, Cavenders is a Greek seasoning found in the spice aisle.

  15. Tracy,

    Love the Santa fabric panel. I used to do a lot more sewing, before I discovered scrapping. I think you could adhere the postcard pieces to an apron or a pillow case to decorate them up. Just an idea.
