Dangerous retail therapy.

There is a chain of stores here called Len's Mills that sells quilt store fabric for non quilt store prices. Now this is still considerably more than you'll pay for quilt material in the US. Somehow fabric crosses the border and doubles in price. I know we have more taxes here but still it doesn't make sense.

Anyways, headed out to Len's and enjoyed a good couple of hours looking through their material. Bought some more of the yellow and pink that they have that I use for the baby quilts I make. They are running out of it and since they buy closeouts...

I got annoyed by one of the quilt kits they were selling cause the sample shown had different and better quality materials than the actual kit. Too bad because it was really cute. They had another sample that I almost bought the kit for then realised I had a couple of the materials at home (or a close enough substitute) - so I just bought the main fabric.

    I love it - very cute. Smile My mom made my daughter several cat-themed quilts when she was a baby. She was in intensive care for a month after she was born, and we used the 'angel kitty' quilt over her enclosure while she was there. Very sweet memories get wrapped up in handmade quilts.
