I've been a part of the online sewing group Do. Good Stitches for about 6 year now. Every month we make blocks and rotate who's in charge to piece together the quilt for Project Linus. I've always enjoyed this group and the women who are a part of it. I had never actually met any of the women until just last month. We're from all over the United States, but one of my group members lives in Oklahoma about an hour south of me. This past December she invited me to her favorite fabric shop in OKC for their once a year End-of-Bolt sale. I've been trying to be good and not buy fabric for a while now, but I was excited to finally meet her and see some designer fabric. We had a blast and I'm sad we hadn't met earlier. In the process I did buy fabric - although I did control myself better than what I thought. We decided perhaps next time it would be cheaper to go out to lunch rather than meet at the fabric shop, because we were both enablers. "You should totally get that fabric!" "That's adorable!" "You're husband won't mind." "You need that fabric!"
Yesterday I put some of that fabric to good use. I used a combination of my Moda fabric with fabric I had in my stash to piece this baby girl quilt top. I saw this pattern online and modified it to what I wanted. Every once in a while math really does come in handy! Don't tell any of my math teathers though, because I think I was rather vocal about never going to need it in real life...
