LQS

Quilt lingo for local quilt shop.

Recently I was able to go to a bittersweet sale at our LQS.

It was awesome to get great fabrics for 60% off.

Unfortunately the store is closing.

So sad as it was the only shop in the area.

I had a plan of attack for buying fabric.

My top priority was backing and binding fabric for Connor's quilt.

Since I was successful with that endeavor, I went back the next day.

I had plan for this trip as well.

My goal was to get flannel backing for another quilt but they didn't have enough.

I tried a couple of different bolts but both fell short of what I needed.

And nothing appealed to me to piece together either.

So I improvised a plan B.

I decided not to shop with a specific quilt in mind but to build my fabric stash instead.

Since I'm relatively new to the quilting world, my stash is quite small.

I have plenty of florals, pastels, and browns.

I chose one yard cuts of solids and low volume prints.

 I also got several novelty prints.

I have been wanting some newsprint fabric and got one yard of it.

The others are half-yard cuts of stamps, barnyard critters, and clocks.

All in all, I think I did pretty well at the sale.

I now have plenty of fabric to keep me busy for a while.
