Fun purchases

I hand pieced 40 of this little guys while we were on the road. I really need to get this quilt done.  Time to move on it!!

Here is what I bought at the Aurora Sewing Center in East Aurora, New York.

These Christmas fabrics and a couple of fat quarters came from The Carriage Quilt Shoppe.  It too is in East Aurora, New York.  It is a small shop, but packed with a lot of fun things.
Here is my Vidler's haul.  I said it was a 5 and 10.  There is fabric, rubberbands, M & M's, airmail envelopes, bandaids, buttons, magnets, a package for Dummies, Beef on Weck, and measuring spoons for a pinch, dash, and smidge. They have everything under the sun.  I absolutely love to go there.  You never know what kind of good things you will find.

Heartworks Quilts and Fabrics in Fly Creek, New York.  The tied up Christmas fabric is for a cute set of placemats, that are quilt as you go. They showed they for every holiday. Simple and cute.

Last but not least, Pennington Quilt Works, in Pennington, New Jersey.  Ron picked out the two blue fabrics. I picked out the flamingos and pink to make another zipper pouch.  The Little Red Riding Hood, is actually a notebook with plain pages and graph paper.  Then a couple fat quarters, just because.

That is it.  I could have put a lot more pictures but that could get way too long.  I love to take pictures and am always trying for that one great shot!

Have a great day. More later

Looks like you had a good time shopping for your goodies. I love stores like the one you described that has everything. I wish there were more good thrift stores here and 5 and Dimes like the one you went to. I don't think too many people nowadays have heard of 5 and Dime stores! Showing our age here! I love those places....You can post as many pics as you want as we love seeing them.
