Fun Fabric Trip to Fabric Depot - Portland OR

We have lived here in Vancouver WA for over 6 months now, and finally we went to my favorite place in the vicinity... Fabric Depot.  You can see how huge the place is... lots of it is quilting fabric.

 

 

 I got a couple of fat quarters and some Grandma Jewelry.... It's a bright light on a ring of hook & loop.  I'm having trouble hand sewing at night watching TV. This will be just the thing.

These are much more colorful than the photograph.

3 of these are purples and a yellow affecting the color of that one next to it.

 

So my weekend was wonderful so far, and I hope you have one as great.

 

Hugs

 

 

 

 

Purchases

We went to a Quilt Show - wouldn't you know I forgot the camera.

It's a lovely little show in a building on the county fair grounds during the Placer County Fair... thus there is only a charge to get into the fair - for us seniors $3 each - and no charge for the quilt show. (I still can't figure out how they make any money for their guild.)  Anyway, here's what I bought.

A Snap purse - closes with 2 lengths of metal measuring "tape". I bought it so I'd remember to try this myself. The other object is a pincushion made of a golf tee, a pop bottle cap and a fabric circle filled with crushed walnut shell. (They say it's very good for keeping pins and needles sharp.)

Here it is shown in the intended use. I thought it quite cute.

 

Not much sewing done over the weekend. Just a little hand sewing done on the pink hexies.

 

Hugs,
