Field Trip

Today didn't go as planned.

Of course, what day ever does around here.

We were just headed into Osage Beach for a new foot for Mary Jo's sewing machine.  

She is free motion quilting and broke her foot.

Found a few pieces for our Blockswappers

On the way back home, we decided to make a detour in the opposite direction and 

headed to Lebanon, MO

to Buckles, Bobbins and Bolts.

Nice shop, lots of floor space, sparse fabrics, but lots of gift items.

 But---

I did find a few pieces

The piece on the left will be a background for my animal block in Pandemonium

(starting in January)

The birds I thought would be nice in applique.  Every once in a while I  will

broderie perse  one in a vase or other repro block.

(Oh yeah, Margaret, I got a 1/2 yard for you)

Also picked up a couple of repro backgrounds and some

panels for QOV quilts

They had this sample made up that I thought would be great

for DD Kari (loves Halloween).  Got the panel.

Then back home late afternoon.

So before and after dinner, I prepped my applique

and then got it glued to the background for

Block 2 and 3 of Autumn Love.

Now to find the time to stitch down 

(a great project to take to MQX next week-relax after a hectic day in the booth)

Too late to start another project

Until we meet tomorrow

Keep on Sewing!
