Shopping Again

Yesterday morning I got up bright and early and headed over to G Street Fabrics. When we were there a couple of weeks ago I'd asked them to order the coverstitch adapter for my Bernina serger. They called me on Wednesday and said it was at their repair facility and would be in the store on Friday. So off I went to pick it up. And, of course, browse THE WALL. Ahhhh, THE WALL. They had recently restocked THE WALL and it was quite a fruitful visit.
First up, are the wools. They had yards and yards of beautiful wool/silk blends. Just gorgeous stuff, way above the stuff I usually see crammed on those shelves. All 4 are wool blends, the lighter one is more of a boucle and is attached/fused to some backing to prevent fraying. I only have a little over a yard, but it will easily become a skirt. The other 3 are destined for slacks.
They also had a nice selection of knits. The border print on the far left will probably be a skirt. The other three are shirt fabrics. All are soft and stretchy. mmmmm.
I also picked up a piece of poly-satin for linings. A bit of foldover elastic. And the free pattern for renewing my Thread's subscription. Don't know that I'll ever make that, but there you have it.
And a final shot of my backyard last Thursday after our most recent snow dump. I'm starting to hate snow.
