Dropped Jackie off at home, took AJ home, then went to dinner with "Papa" and AJ at a nice "hip" restaurant in Byron that is owned by current Byron Fire personnel and is housed in the original firehouse of Byron and of course is decorated with fire hoses, fire hats and coats, pictures of trucks, dalmation dogs on the bar separating the eating area from the bar area, etc. Eye candy for AJ, I can tell you! The name of the place, btw, is The Fifth Alarm! Got home, settled down for an hour of playing, then bath time and by 8:30, AJ was in bed without a peep and slept til 7:30 this morning! I, on the other hand did not sleep much so took a nap this afternoon after Mom came and took AJ home!
Now, if you're still with me -- here's the FQ's I bought yesterday:
And, I just read Vicky's August challenge to us Stashers and have decided to accept the challenge. I hope to get by with my stash now for this next month and not add to it in any way. I think I have enough brights/kids prints to finish two baby quilts and probably Briana's twin quilt and I certainly don't need any other fabric. I am seriously thinking of picking up some punch needle stuff and trying my hand at that though!

What fun pieces of fabric you have there and on sale no less.
That's one way to not buy any fabric in August--switch to a different craft, LOL.
Seriously though I have the punch needle set but haven't tried it yet and just ordered a book as an early bday present--which is in August. Round robin purchases, she said were okay and the rest of the rules were pretty loose Two books should be enough of a bday present.
Love the brights!!! Stay cool tomorrow. It's suppose to hit 100 degrees here in the great lakes...

what wonderfully bright fabrics. I love the bumblebees -- such a bright pick me up in anything I'm sure :-)
That yellow on the top would make a cute jar for a bug jar quilt. :)
Those are fun pretty fabrics and will make a nice kid quilt.
Babies love bright colors, so the quilts coming from those fqs should hit the mark.
Oh you got some great new FQs! What fun! And what a great weekend you had!
I especially like your pink fabrics

It sure is fun picking up fat quarters. I especially like the polka dot one in front.
Great fabric! And the restaurant sounds like a lot of fun!
Good for you for joining us in August! We'll be better people because of it! Or at least that's what I'm telling myself!
))HUGS((
Lovely fabrics. I am sure we will enjoy August challenge together !
