Fat Quarter Frenzy

Last week I attended my first "Fat Quarter Frenzy." This is a bi-annual event at Patched Works, the fabric store I frequent most often. I would describe it as organized chaos, and lots of fun! There are tons of fabrics pre-cut into fat quarters, each for $1.25. What a deal! And it's no secret. The place was packed with serious shoppers!

Though I wasn't there early enough to get everything on my wish-list, I did manage to leave with my arms loaded.


I'm normally pretty good about shopping with a purpose, but these were all impulse buys. I tried to get at least two complimentary fabrics for each pick so that I would have enough to make "something." Now, just what "somethings" should I get busy crafting? Maybe some more of those cute gift bags? A Wonder Wallet or two? The good news is that lots of patterns call for fat quarters. Sew, I'm sure that none of these will go to waste...as long as I can get past the hoarding stage. :)
