I lost a day this week to hotels, airports, and planes — high winds in the west affected flights in/out of both Albuquerque & Denver. Luckily, though after quite a delay, I was able to make it to Denver on Tuesday, as planned. The delay meant a missed connection, though, and the new itinerary sent me to Chicago for a few hours instead of directly home. Thankfully, the airline put me up in a hotel on Tuesday & gave me a couple of meal vouchers (of which I only used one).
Anyway, all that to say… I’m behind!!
Here’s a little eye candy until I catch up a bit! Our Airbnb in ABQ was just a few blocks from both the Albuquerque Museum & Old Town. On one of the days, we stopped into a cute shop called Desert Bird Mercantile. Kate had wandered a little ahead of me & I heard her call out, “Mom. There’s fabric over here.” Oh my, was there. I was extremely restrained in walking away with only three fat quarters — one more than I originally had in my hand. These are just a few of the many designs/colorways by owner/artist Tammy Wenderlich. Aren’t they spectacular? I’m hoping they’ll work with what I’ve got going in the sampler quilt, but I’m not sure I’ll really need them and who cares, anyway? They’re so pretty!

Welcome home, Vicki! Those fabrics are just gorgeous and will make lovely additions to your quilt! It will be nice to have a quilt block that reminds you of your time in ABQ!
That fabric! I love looking at it just like that, but will also look forward to seeing how you use it.
Any of these could be the basis of a whole quilt. What fun you will have.
Oh, those are BEAUTIES, Vicki! I’m going to bet they’ll fo with your existing fabrics. But if they don’t, I think Laura Kate makes a great suggestion! Can’t wait to hear all about your trip! XO
oh holy cow – the fabric of my dreams!!!
Sorry it was such a headache getting home, but wow, those are some gorgeous souvenirs!
Those fat quarters are gorgeous and SO you! I’m glad you gave in and bought them. Can’t wait to read more about your adventures on this trip.
The fat quarters are beautiful. If they don’t suit your current quilt, I imagine they will be part of some creative endeavor, even as inspiration.
