Calling All Kona Nerds...

In the meadow we can build a snowman...

(No, scratch that.)

In the valley we can build a rainbow...

(Yes, that's better.)

I like it.

And, I like Konas too. A lot. 

Maybe not as much as some folks do, but I do like'em a lot.

We set out today to scour the shelves of Avonport Discount Fabrics in the Valley in search of 114 specific shades of Kona solids for the Gravity quilt, which was designed by Jaybird Quilts. I'm chomping at the bit to get going on it. Lot's of people in blogland have decided to give it a go. There's even a blog hosting a "Gravity Quilt-a-Long" if a person wanted to join in on this king sized, colour crazed, patchwork bandwagon...not that I am participating in it, but just sayin' there is one out there!

Anyway...

We found 'em... lots of them.

105 of them to be precise.

105 out of 114 ain't bad!

Yup, that's one helluva lot of Kona Candy in one fell swoop. 

The mother load of cotton-y goodness, all sorted & labeled, ready to go.

Is it wrong that I wanted to hug my bag of Kona?

Kinda makes me weak.
And a wee bit poorer than I was yesterday. 

Guess I'll have to save up some twoonies while we wait for the 9 delicious shades that were missing in action to show up in their order. 

If any of you fellow Kona Nerds out there want in on this adventure Faye ordered more books and the necessary rulers, it's all in stock and waiting for you there....
