25 years and counting

Last Friday was our 25th wedding anniversary. Wow! That is more than half my life. I married my best friend so it doesn't even seem close to being that long. Looky at what he got me.........

 2 sets of Pantos, a wonderful jelly roll in these fabulous fall colors...........I already know what I am doing with that. I drew it out on graph paper the next morning at 3am when I was up and about..........kinda like right now. Just need to get some fabric for the background. And a quilt kit...........

This is everything in the quilt kit!!! I more than likely won't make the quilt it is intended for, because I am not a jelly roll quilt type of person, and he doesn't like the quilt either. I asked him if he didn't like the quilt why did he buy me that quilt kit............he said he knew I loved dragonflies, and it has dragonflies on it, and it had lots of bright colors too. Sooooooooo I will use all those fabulous strips and make a different quilt top to put the dragonflies onto.

I tell ya, last year I was on a serious fabric diet, using my stash like crazy and only buying fabric if I needed it to finish a project. I don't even think I bought 10 yards last year. Now in the past month alone I think I have added over 100 yards to my stash in one way or another.

Then after getting all that on Friday, we went to run errands on Saturday and brought all this home.

22 more yards.......the top 4 are flannel, I still need to get black and white flannel, they were sold out. You might be thinking this is a weird color combination, but if you geocache, you will recognize the colors. This is a quilt my husband asked me to make a year ago, and we didn't get around to it. So since all the fabric was on sale, and I had another coupon for another 15% off total purchase, we bought it all. Now to get busy, he has finally decided how he wants it done, the front and the back. Now to find the book so I can get started. Oh yeah, he would like it done before the annual HUGE event in 4 weeks!!!! This here is the logo, and this is what he wants the back to look like, I will be doing that in flannel.

Seems on top of everything else I have to get done, my list keeps getting longer. I have other deadlines approaching too, That can not be pushed back. Better get busy I suppose.

On another note, the kitchen is going in at the other house later on today! Yippeee!
