I bought the kit at a LQS (Thimbles). The fabrics are all flannel. It had this pattern [5 & Dime a fat quarter quilt] included with it. The top turned out larger than I had imagined it would be, for a child/lap sized quilt. Obviously, I could have looked at the dimensions, but must not have. Once I got going on this, it took not much time at all. The kit included enough fabric for binding (which will be from the striped piece that is included in the quilt top). Now, I'm just trying to decide how I want to back it. I do have a piece of pink chenille that I bought on sale at Hobby Lobby earlier this year. Really, I have some of the material left from the long strips that could be used (and are supposed to be) for part of the back...but then I'd have to buy more flannel... hmm... may have to think on this one a bit.
Yesterday, I also purchased a new addition to my plant family....
I have been wanting an orchid for quite some time. I am always admiring orchids that belong to others. Anyway, yesterday we went to a pretty large craft fair. We have gone for quite a few years in a row now. My husband enjoys it as much as I do. We purchased several Christmas decorations for the outside of the house...I just didn't take photos of those. Anyway, there is a local orchid greenhouse that has been at the craft fair the last several years. This year, I came home with an orchid. He did give me a sheet that tells the type of orchid this one is...but I don't have that sheet next to the computer and I'm not going to get up to get it right now :-) Anyway, wish me luck!
I'd better get back to work! I do plan on finishing a couple Christmas gifts tonight, plus I have a dish to make for a work Thanksgiving dinner (that is being held tomorrow).
