What was I thinking?!! … Allowing myself to go out and look at the big sale last month at C&T Publishing’s warehouse. Well, it turned out that what I paid was 75% off (including shipping) and I got a great haul of quilt books that I never would have paid full price for. So I feel vindicated (no matter what looks the dear hubby gave me – at least it wasn’t a bucket of golf balls – to each his own, I always say). This is what I got:
I’m going upstairs now to play with elements from the 150 Baby Blocks book – it has a very clever presentation that shows a block, then at the bottom of the page it shows that block mixed and matched with one or more other blocks from the book like this:

Very cool ideas that are getting my quilting brain out of the rut it’s gotten into … sometimes we just need a new spark of an idea to get us back on the bandwagon.
I did get one paper-pieced block made up for a swap group member that was asking for one signed block. She has a friend whose cancer has recurred after 5 yrs remission. That news is so demoralizing but I hope that wrapping up in a quilt while she receives treatment will let her friend know that she is surrounded by prayer.
I have another friend that is volunteering to walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Pinellas County , FL
