Country Sampler Quilt Store...

Oh...I know...I am so bad.  Today I went with my sister to a local quilt shop.  I picked up a couple of fat quarters of fabric to finish my Friendship exchange project.  But after seeing and buying a primitive stitchery work at a craft fair last weekend, I want to try it myself now.  The quilt store carries some primitive stitchery patterns as well as patterns and kits for penny rugs.  I found a small variety of all this.  I tried to keep it small, but I still managed to pick up several patterns and a kit.  I bought the base fabric for one pattern, but I will rummage around my own floss and fabric bin for the rest of the supplies.  The first pattern I will "try" has some fabric cut into shapes fused onto the base fabric.  It calls for tea dying, but they do theirs after all the stitching.  I have never tea dyed fabric--either before or after stitching, so I will have to ask about this process!  Of course first things first...I plan on stitching away at my exchange project tonight while watching a movie.  I hope to get it nearly finished!!  I can then do the "finishing" on it this week or next weekend.  That is the plan anyway!!
