Lainey (who owned the first fabric store I frequented) still has a lot of fabric, patterns and threads for sale out of her home. She invited me over today to see what she had, and I took my Celtic Crystals quilt for her to see. I purchased the pattern as Blocks of the Month through her shop. She was very generous in her praise and she showed me all the beautiful wool felt appliqué she has been doing. She will have a big sale in the near future and I will look through my patterns before I shop next time.

But I had fun today! Lainey maintains an Etsy Shop (The Wool Felt Ferret) and I knew there were a couple of patterns  I wanted. I also got four colours of hand-dyed burlap – I think it might be fun to try some cross stitch patterns using burlap. Her thread was a real deal at $6 so I got a few colours to add to my collection. Fat quarters were only $2 so I got a few – some colours for my Bingo quilt and a bit of neutral.
