Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day at the lake.

Morning was cool but sunny.

Temp rose during the day, but still very nice out.

 

Breakfast on the deck.

 

Did a little sewing on the next mystery

and have a sneak peak as promised.

 

 

Have two rows finished.  Working on the next two.

 

Straightened out the car today.  I had quilts everywhere from my lecture and one of the

baskets with patterns had turned over. 

 

I also brought in my purchases just to fondle the new fabric and kits.

 

A few pieces of 30's fabrics for stash, flag print for QOV (or maybe the stash, I think I may even have this one already-but you can always use more

and a panel piece with some coordinates for a baby quilt if needed.

 

 

This brown tooled leather look piece and the cowhide print will be the sashing and

borders for my cowboy quilt.

 

 



 

A few friends and myself have been collecting cowboy prints for a few years to get enough for our

cowboy quilt.  I believe we now over 100 prints combined-so maybe we will get that one started soon!

 

Another baby quilt someday, I just couldn't pass up this really cute

nursery rhyme panel and border print.

 

 

Saw this quilt hanging in a shop and couldn't resist purchasing the kit.

 

 

Sample was done in these greens and blues.  LOVED IT!!!

 

Fussy cut that 2nd piece for the sashing.

I may have to start on this one soon!

 

Last stop here at the lake-we went into town for

a spool of thread--- 

 

Found this great William Morris print for the border on a

new William Morris quilt I have been collecting for.

 

 

A few more 30's prints for stash

a really cute quilt kit for the table

and two quick embroidery embellished patterns for my girls

Christmas "crap" box.

 

OK let me explain the "Crap" box.

My girls get a box filled with things they have wanted all year but wouldn't buy themselves.

Their boxes may include recipes, books, patterns, quilt kits, fabrics, kitchen items,

towels, basically anything I have heard them say then needed or wanted when we

were together that I knew they would not buy themselves.

 

I wrap the items and them put them into a big box ~ their "crap" box for Christmas.

 

They love the idea of getting things they need and want, but not really knowing

for sure what they are.  For a few years, I stopped the boxes and both demanded that

I start collecting for the "crap" boxes again.

 

I am really thinking about this same concept for the grandkids now also!
