Fat Cats and veggies, oh my

On Saturday I worked at the LQS. Being a holiday weekend there were a few slumps which gave me time to look around the store and find stuff to try not to buy. I actually resisted buying anything other than what I needed for a pillowcase until about 4:30. That last half hour was a killer because I ran across this fabric and just couldn't pass it up again.


I also caved on a new pattern I had been eyeing that used the "new" Fat Cat ruler. But look how much I've already got done...


I just need to finish the gold sashing, add a gold inner border and then the veggie fabric becomes the outer border. There are actually 2 red fabrics versus 3 greens but it just screams red to me...

Yes Denise - I bought another ruler but no, I haven't made the list yet :(

    I would be in deep trouble if I spent even one day working in a fabric shop. A red flag went up for me when I was in the LQS last week and a relatively new employee said, "You must have quite a stash!" I asked why she had that impression and she replied, "Because I always see you in here." I have considered myself on the fringes of the mainstream quilting community in our area and felt like I was quite incognito when I went fabric shopping. Apparently I was only fooling myself.
    You've made a very fun table runner--another non-holiday one, as you once told me you usually make.

    Ah, Sarah -- list, smchist. I only made one so I didn't purchase duplicates. You're probably waaaaay smarter than me in that area!! I love your tumbler quilt. I want a Fat Cat ruler too!! What's it look like? Love that veggie/fruit print, too! It must be killer working at a LQS -- I'd never survive (or rather, my wallet wouldn't)! :)
