A give away at p.s.i. quilt is going on, run on over and see what Rachel has to offer.
And another give away at Mama Spark’s World. Go on over and see what she has to offer.
So many give aways lately – they are always nice to see and always nice to win!
Today a friend and I traveled about 35 miles over to another town (Clarksville) to see a quilt shop that we had heard had opened. I had never gone to her shop before – she started out a few years ago in her garage and then moved “up” to a shop. The inventory is not real extensive but she hopes to add more things as she can. For those of you over in Johnson County, Arkansas and near by here is her web site if you haven’t been to the shop. Sew Kountry Fabrics. I got lucky and she had the exact same red batik that I am using in my second Dear Jane “Insanity Revisited” I think 
I have enough of the fabric but when you are making a quilt that you know will take you several years to complete it is always nice to have a little extra for “just in case” — you know what I mean the scissors slip, you cut wrong – you do a block wrong and have to do it over – those kinds of just in case! With these two extra yards my mind will be more at ease 
I also got two different kinds of neutrals – one is a very white and the other is more of a white with a bit of beige and very light gray in it. These two will go really well with scraps for scrap quilts. I am hoping that she will be adding more batiks and moda marbles to her selections and of course a whole lot more 
notions as she was really low on that. It was nice to see what she had though and find a few things that I wanted.
Last night I got busy and quilted more blocks on “Insanity” and I am getting towards the end of another row! It is moving along quickly once I set my mind to it. The block on the left is Row H block 9 and the photo on the right is block 8 & 7.
