The haul, ya'll - part 2

Yesterday we continued adding to the our fabric collections. We went to both G Street and, because absolutely everything was on sale, JoAnn's.

From G Street I did, as usual, hit THE WALL. If you follow me, you'll know how I love THE WALL. Can't stay away from THE WALL. It draws me to the back of the store like iron filings to a magnet. I just can't help it. Not that I really try all that hard, but still... This is the knit collection from yesterday. The large houndstooth is a firm, rather heavy knit that Karen found for me in the GS Remnents. I think it may become the Hermione skirt from Harry Potter - if anyone will ever get the new Vogues in. The grey tones floral is a very small piece of 4 way stretch that can't make much more than a short sleeved T. The bottom 2 are both 4 way knits, the one on the right - the deeper hued one - is from JoAnn's. A rayon/lycra compliments of my 50% off coupon.

And here is the woven collection. Only the purple silk or poly on the bottom is from THE WALL. The 2 on the left are wool skirt lengths - the center one is much greener than it appears. A very pretty piece. And doesn't the red floral just scream for summer? I have enough for a nice skirt, but not a dress. It was on the cotton lenths table. Ahhh, summer.

And I found my 3rd fabric for the Asian quilt to use my kimono that's been drug around with me for decades. The kimono is the pink, and the darker green on top is the most last addition. It may get done later this winter. I want to sew up some of my new wools into pants first.

And finally, a quiz. Yeah, that's what it is. A quiz. Does anyone know what this thing is? It's been rumbling around my sewing stuff for ages, but I really have no idea what to do with it. It has a hole near the point that looks like it could be threaded.

Well, we're off to Ikea for some idea shopping next and maybe do a bit of sewing this afternoon. Later, all.
