ridiculous(ly awesome)

people in blogland seem to be big fans of supporting your LQS (local quilt store), but I'm not a fan of any of the nearby fabric stores due to their rude service and general failure to have any of what I am looking for.

I make an exception for the one that isn't officially a store - and that is the eQuilter warehouse where I can pick up my online order. (I heart them.) They sent me a rad $5 gift certificate for completely a short survey, so my first thought was to see if my mom wanted anything, and then my second thought was maybe I could find something I needed coveted. It didn't even take me a minute before I found this one, which actually made me giggle out loud. Love the yellow dude in front of the ice cream shop.



And PANDAS.



And I have been quilting, just super sporadically. Tomorrow will be day three of the quilt laid out in the middle of the dining room for pinning, so the sheer practicality of getting it out of the walkway should motivate me to start quilting it tomorrow, work be damned.

oh, I also really want to make myself a quilt out of Richard Scarry fabric. I wonder how I can do this in a way that looks like I haven't stolen it from a child.
