the mother lode

My posts lately have only been sewing related, which makes me sad.  Don't get me wrong.  I like to sew, but I also like to go thrift store shopping and tweak things around my home.  I feel a little home sick only because I want to get back to North Carolina to my list of projects around the home.  (I'm currently living in California for the summer.)  Like finish my kitchen, make a few art pieces, or tackle my monochromatic living room.  That's just the tip of the iceberg.  I'm sorry Matt.  But in the meantime, I have been trying to enjoy this slower, less stressful lifestyle.  And I have been!

I visited Danny over the 4th of July weekend, which we had a really good time!  My first stop was Las Vegas, NV to watch Garth Brooks in concert at the Wynn.  FRONT ROW and AMAZEBALLS.  That's all I can say about that.  No photos or cell phones were allowed during the performance, so I have none to show.  Did you know Garth is a comedian?  Well, he is.  A really good one too.  After Vegas, we headed to Phoenix, AZ to stay with Danny.  She took me shopping, and I bought a mother lode of fabric.   Raleigh, NC lacks a modern quilt shop, so I went a bit nuts.  I think there's about 16 or 17 yards of fabric in the first 2 photos that you are about to see.  The last photo is actually fabric I purchased recently online (Stash Modern Fabric) or here in San Diego, but I never got around to showing it off.

This post is sponsored and brought to you by Matt Purvis, my husband.

I'll try to share with you the name of the fabrics.  Some I do not remember, and some I only know the designer/collection.  If you know something I do not, feel free to leave it in the comment box.  I'll update the descriptions.
