WiP Wednesday #15

I'm Back!

I had a fabulous vacation last month.  We were gone from June 30 - July 29.  Yep, an entire month.  And we hit a grand total of 15 States during that one month.

Starting in Virginia, we hit North Carolina, West Virginia (twice), Ohio, Indiana (twice), Illinois (twice), Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming (twice), Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Kentucky. 

Whew!

However, now that my summer fun is over and August has arrived, I am definitely feeling the pressure to get started on my Christmas gifts/projects. 

Fortunately, I have a stack of new fabric that I bought while I was in Utah last month.  And while some of it is intended for some of those Christmas gifts I need to get a start on, I have to admit, I did purchase the majority of it just for me!

I bough most of it at my favorite little quilt shop in Orem, The Fabric Mill.

They are so friendly and helpful at that store.  I went to another one, (which shall remain nameless) and even though they were larger and even had a 20% off Christmas in July sale going on, I just wasn't impressed.  They didn't really have a lot of what I wanted, and the customer service was very poor compared to my favorite Fabric Mill.

Can you tell I love The Fabric Mill???

Anyway, the bottom of the stack is some California Girl by Fig Tree, which I am going to try another Swoon quilt with.

Above that is a little bit of Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille that my sister picked out for her Christmas gift.

On top is a mix of boy fabrics that I picked out to make some shorts for my twins with, and a few cuts of Halloween fabric that I bought to add to my small, but growing, Halloween fabric collection, which eventually will end up as a Halloween-ish quilt.

NOW - on to WiP Wednesday! 

I had a completion before I left (which I mentioned on my last WiP post, but finally blogged about a few weeks ago...my one and only post in July!)
