beautiful batiks!

these are the few i simply had to have as some have color combos i've never seen before.  the bottom is just a pretty print that i am adding to my stash, 2 yards worth.  there is just so dang much fabric within a 10 mile radius, the only way to avoid temptation is to not even go look.  **** retreat is flying by with much fun, laughter, sewing and sharing.  i really needed this, and in this location?  priceless!  today i finished the little batik square-in-a-square top using half the scraps in my bag.  i'll save the rest and add to them for another one at some point.  next up?  the civil war diary quilt with one block completed already.  mapping out my route home hoping i can avoid hurricane sandy!
