Saturday ~ April 5 Sew-In

[mequilter9158]

I'm glad that I was coerced into the last purchase, it's my favorite & will be made into an Irish Chain quilt. And, it's a good thing that we went back into that shop........the owner agreed to embroider the names & numbers of the Packer players for the autograph square quilt in exchange for the advertising. That'll really make it "pop" and people won't have to try and figure out the autographs (believe me, it's not easy). The wine tasting fundraiser will be held in October for the Arthritis Foundation.

The washing machine is running and I have trimmed all the fabric. I think I just hear it finish, so I will need to get another load started and continue to press this fabric.

I must tell you that yesterday was the first time I have been on a shop hop. It is definitely more fun with a friend!

Hi all! BAck in a bit - DH cooked chicken on the grill!

CarolJ you have to do your first shop hop with someone that like quilting as much as you -- it really is more fun.

I usually kind of just scan over fabrics, but Mary Ellen really examins them, says "Isn't this cute?" and I buy it, because she's right!!

The only dissapointment today was lunch... yuk.

Now I'm having popcorn and root beer -- I need a DH to make chicken on the grill like Hummingbird!!

Aren't we healthy tonight? Popcorn & root beer? That's ok, I'm having chips & dip & a kit kat bar, all downed with Diet Dr. Pepper. DH had fixed a pizza & I grabbed a couple of pieces of that. Definitely need a home cooked meal tomorrow, maybe ribs & baked potatoes, that really sounds good. I'm having fun just looking at my purchases, don't have the heart to cut any of it up quite yet. Cynthia....the blues go perfect in your kitchen. What will you make with them?

Mary Ellen -- you'll have to come over and help me decide what to make witht that fabric... curtains, table cloth, just make it look like wallpaper... I got enough of it!

Hey CA ladies, are any of you planning on going on the shop hop next weekend???? I can do Saturday only but plan to make the best of it. PM me or post if you want to meet up and get in trouble together. LOL Debi

I have to work next weekend! I miss out on all the fun! I guess I will remain a shop hop virgin for a while yet.

[astitchintime]

CaroleJ, will there be a shop hop the weekend of Long Beach??? I think that is a great weekend to break you in!! Debi

[Hummingbird]

Oh my - now that was good! mmmmmm DH cooks a mean bird on the grill. He quarters it and we have a baste that we've been making for years and it is just so good.

Course it's one of the very FEW things he cooks, LOL, but it's good.

Today I've been quilting the "Dont' Fence Me In' that I'm taking to Paducah and I cleaned out flower beds and watered plants. I'm ready for a hot bath, LOL!
