An afternoon to myself...

After a tumultuous week, I needed some alone time. This afternoon, I had the house to myself so I did some sewing. I made another 14 arcs for my Indian Orange Peel Quilt. I am up to 48 arcs completed now out of 120. Not quite half way there but making good progress! 

I was in Georgetown yesterday for a family event and afterwards, decided to go to the local quilt store "The Hobby Horse" for a little shopping before heading for home. I had not been to this store before but enjoyed wandering through the store drooling all over admiring the vast array of fabrics. I purchased some more batiks for my IOP as well as some red fabrics to enhance my stash. My red fabric drawer was looking sparse so my new purchases will liven it up a bit. I did not take a picture of the fabrics but if you keep following my blog, you will see them eventually as they make their way into my projects!

I am looking forward to an arc support retreat at Jacqui's later this week when a bunch of IOP quilters will be getting together to sew arcs together.
