I went shopping yesterday at
Keepsake Quilting, and its sister shop, Patternworks. I got, well, lots of things. I also went to
The Elegant Ewe, for more locally sourced yarns.
 |
| Locally grown and spun wool and alpaca. The blue yarn is wool from New Hampshire sheep and the brown is alpaca from the next town over from Concord, NH. |
 |
| Cute little pack of fat eights. I think I'll make coasters and scrappy napkins? |
 |
| I liked this yardage calculator. The yarn is made of milk protein fiber and soy! Very cool, don't you think? |
 |
| I liked these fat quarters, but they don't really go together. They'll go with something I have at home, I'm sure of it. |
 |
| Pre-cut hexies!! There are 100 - what can I make with them? I have no idea how big the hexes will be... |
 |
| I've wanted die-cuts from this company for years. I'm really pleased with my butterflies. |
 |
| Strangely, fish in New Hampshire seem to taste strongly of strawberry candy. *grin* |
 |
| These are 10" squares. I think there might be enough, if I add some strips of solids, to make a quilt out of each pack! Yay for more quilts! |

Tomorrow, we're going to see what's up north. I've been to a few places in northern New Hampshire, but it was snowing and dark, so I didn't actually see much. I've heard it's really pretty and I'd love to see it.
I've taken pictures of the Boston Aquarium and other local pretty places - I'll try to post those as well.
I hope everyone's having a good week.

Came here from the Artful Thursdays link & found you've been right in my neighborhood! There's a bunch of great yarn and quilt shops within driving distance of Concord next time you're in the area (Yarn & Fiber Company in Derry & Peggy Anne's Quilting in Concord). Those yarns look great, can't wait to see what you make with them.
Tamdoll! I wish I'd known you were local; I'd at least have waved in your general direction.
I'll be back, sometime in mid-June, so I'll definitely check out the quilt shop in Concord and the store in Derry.
I liked Keepsake Quilting, but going there was more a chance to see the place I get the catalogs from. (Although, the sale wall was pretty fun!) I really like the fabrics in the quilt shop in Portsmouth - Portsmouth Fabric, I think it's called.
Geordie loves New Hampshire, so we go there somewhat regularly.
