Hancock Fabric was having the most awesome sale yesterday so I had to take advantage of that. I've been in a very deep rut lately and suddenly this new fabric has all kinds of new rag quilt ideas running through my head. I have pictures of all my new fabric below. The lady who cut all of that for me was very kind. She also measured off what was left of a bolt of white flannel that I wanted.
Oh! And while I was there, a very sweet lady approached me asking what I make with my fabric. When I told her that I make mainly quilts she asked if I would make one for her granddaughter. Of course I will! I must say she didn't look like a grandmother though. It feels great to be back in the loop. Despite my bashfulness I really enjoy making nice custom items for people. She lives in the same suburb as I do and will call me this week (I think). She'll bring her fabric and binding and we'll select a pattern. Then I'll get right to work. I have come up with a fee of .01 per square inch as well as the price of any items I will have to supply such as thread or batting. She may have all of that as well. Although her quilt will be a traditional quilt and not a rag quilt, as long as we select a simple pattern I should be able to finish this within a month's time.
I've been looking through some of the patterns I've downloaded. I really like the Lemon Bars, Big Block and Sweet Strips patterns.
