Warrenton – Quilter’s Confectionary

Amazing Selection

Checking out the remnants

Happy Shoppers!

I visited Warrenton last week – the Bags did a ”by appointment” with Karen Walker of Quilter’s Confectionary (http://www.quiltsweets.com/).  If you’re in that area, and have need of a particular fabric, she’s probably got it!  I found some of my favorite blue with glow-in-the-dark stars and solid flag red, among other pieces.  

While rain poured outside, we had a cozy lunch at Claire’s at the Depot – excellently presented and delicious sandwiches and salads.  A fun outing!

What do you do with fabric scraps?

Measured, Labeled, Sorted

Packed to Go

Market Bags

My cousin called recently and asked if I would take some fabric that a friend of hers was getting rid of. I’ve learned it’s best to just say yes, then figure out where the orphans will be happiest. So we loaded, completely loaded, my trunk and I spend the past couple days going thru everything measuring and sorting. I was hoping for cottons appropriate for quilting, however what we have here is upholstery fabric. Hmmmmm.

Some of the pieces are quite large, and lovely stuff. So after the first project, the market bags you see in the third photo, I plan to tackle redoing the cushion covers for our TV room. And perhaps find good homes elsewhere for everything else.

Do you cull your stash? How do you go about it? Inquiring minds want to know!
