Market Sneak Peak

Have you ever gone to town to get your haircut and came home in a new truck??? After all the traveling Lois & I have been doing, a bigger vehicle has been a topic of conversation, but by no means did I think I could take the time a few days before market to purchase one. Just so happens that a Yukon XL (looked like a semi to me from across the street) beckoned to me saying, "Think of all the cool stuff that would fit in me if you take me to market. You wouldn't have to choose, you could take EVERYTHING!" How could I not listen to that? I looked/test drove/negotiated/called Robert/took it home. Pretty easy. Now my list of junk to take has expanded and I'm tickled to have the space.
A few days after market, we'll take off for a week in Indiana, beginning at the Moda Wholesale Show in Shipshewanna. I thought I'd have to ship a bunch of stuff, but no more! Now, if I can just get the hang of backing this beast up in parking lots!

Okay, so now you've heard me go on and on about the "Beast". Time to reward you with a sneak peek of some market goodies. We started with a 10" square, two 5" squares and a bit of bias cut plaid and ended up with a cool block that's been fun to work with. Shown here are 3 of the 4 projects using this block and our new template (the fourth quilt using the Layer Cake and 2 charm packs just came back from the quilter. Lois will be whipping down binding in the car on the way to market!) The large quilt features our new Cattails & Clover fabric line. Stay tuned for lot's more during/after market.
