hot diggity dog! it's my birthday all over again!

tonight, i stopped at joann's on my way home from work. i needed to see what they had in 30's repro prints (um...nothing...) and as i walked by an endcap of fat quarter bundles....these popped out at me!!



ok, so the riding boots was the one on top, which also includes the horses in blue and 3 others from that set. then, i found the russian stacking dolls, which has the floral stripe and some other good ones in there. how much did i get these fantastic heather ross bundles for? $9.99 each!!! can you believe it?! they were the only two there. believe me - i looked and looked. i've never seen heather ross at joann's before. some robert kaufman, some alexander henry. sometimes someone else good... but never heather ross.


now, if only i had found these last night on my birthday. but today was just as good. :)


i also got the first block from QBE's august swap in the mail today and one of my fabric swaps. what a lovely day in the mailbox.

isn't it lovely? this block will join some i make and at least 6 others from QBE for a fantastic QOV. the 6-12" mini swap this month has the theme of stars for the blocks, so i'm opting to do blocks instead of mini quilts. of course, i requested red, white and blue combos so i can put together the QOV with them as well. it's just a big happy virtual quilting bee!!
