No rainclouds, but fodder for Allietare

My sister-in-law and I set out for our favorite quilt shop this morning, looking for a little stash enhancement.  (It's the pre-holiday sale.  Everything in the store is 25% off.  Including sale items and clearance.  This could be considered a form of entrapment, I think.)
My primary goal was to look for that raincloud fabric that I found on-line.  I try to support my local quilt shops when I can, because I appreciate them being right there handy where I can fondle the fabric see exactly what I'm getting.  Unfortunately, they didn't have what I was looking for, so I'm going to go ahead and order it online.
And I feel that I did my bit to support them...

 
*ahem*

I did find a few things with Allietare in mind.  Which I needed anyway, of course.   Because who has enough reds, blacks, golds, and creams?
And pigs.  Had to buy the fabrics with pigs.  Because pigs.  And because I didn't see any monkeys.

And somehow I found myself checking out with this.  Because I am a sucker for rulers. 


Not because I'm going to start a hexie project.  Absolutely not.  No hexies for me, no way, unh unh, no sir.
I just liked the ruler.  Honest.

    I did a bit of fabric buying at my LQS yesterday too. Your stack looks lovely.

    You will love that little ruler. I have the full size one and it is a favorite.

    At least you tried for rain clouds. But look how far ahead you are for 2016. I only have a floor, so I take lots of interim photos, if I remember. Have to admit I did some big online fabric shopping today, got my lime green on super sale, plus a great Crafsy quilt kit half off, rainbow brights and black.

    Oh I find the same thing in our area--only a JoAnne's--which is ok for some things, but sometimes their quality is not so good--and putting in all that work, i want to use the best fabrics...but i do go and try, too.
    ADEM: As for that ruler--oh sure, it is so cute how could you not get it--(Alert: somewhere, deep in the recesses of your brain lurks the "Hexie-Monster" rubbing his hands in glee)....lol hugs, Julierose
