For the fabric stash:  I bought fabric at Fat Quarter Shop.  I am falling in love with the fabric for Spooky Halloween and I’m shopping around for a back for it.  I don’t know when I’ll be done with it but I want to make sure I have the backing and binding when it is done.  So a bunch of half yards fell into my cart so I can audition which one I’ll like the best for my backing.  Who knows, maybe I’ll end up piecing leftover fabric together.  I’m now in the red.  I’m halfway through getting the binding on the Moon Glow so I’m hoping to get that in the used section by next week.
