I was very naughty yesterday

My quilt group here is having a challenge to do with the earth/environmentalism, so with that as a pretence, I went to some thrift stores yesterday with a friend. My family is also trying to have a homemade/recycled/thrifted Christmas, so I picked up a couple more beer glasses for my brother's collection, as well as some striped cotton pillow cases to use for bindings. The naughty part comes with the big purchase I made. I'll post photos once I have it here in my apartment, but here's a preview...

Other than the shopping, not much time for sewing since the bags and the monster. Still working on knitting my little squares when I have a free moment, and halfway done with my Four Seasons Swap quilt.

I saw some more great theater here in Vaasa this week - went back to the final performance of Hamlet, since it was so great the first time, and saw Peer Gynt, as well. I loved how they used a huge piece of fabric to conjure up the varied settings - including Norwegian mountains, the sea, and sand dunes of North Africa.
