I just posted this in the photos. It is for my nephew for his 21st birthday he did the fabric choices with some help from the guy who owns a LQS

I finished trimming threads on my nephews quilt, made 2 pairs of lounge pants (pj bottoms) and 4 pillowcases. Now I am going to have a glass of wine then get ready to go to the theater. we have season tickets to the South Coast Repertory Theater.

Good Evening Gals

Just woke up from my afternoon nap....

Went to the Sewing/Qulitng Expo in Minneapolis this morning. Can't believe I made it all the way to downtown Minneapolis without getting lost!! I NEVER go downtown! It was great!!!Got the meet Michelle H and her darling little girls. It would tough to stay within our shopping budgets and I have to admit I did go a little bit over but it was to see so many great fabrics and pattern. We even got to play with a top of the line Brother Embroidery machine---all you have to do is hit a button and sit back and watch!!

Picked up a new ruler and drooled over a really neat cutting system--but that was definately not in budget. Did buy a new ironing board cover, some beautiful fall fabric (saw a gal with it in her hand, so I stuck with her until she was done then I grabbed it up), got a cute kit to make a table topper for my Mom for Christmas and a pattern for another one.

Haven't done a darn thing since I got home, walking all over sure pooped me out. Need to get a 2nd wind tonite so I can sort out all my purchases and maybe get a head start on tomorrow's chores so I'll have sewing time tomorrow!

Hope you all have a great evening

*C* that is a really beautiful quilt top. You sure have been busy.
Me says *C* needs a LA. What kind of wine are you drinking? I like a merlot please.

MaryQ, how *Fun* to have met Michelle and her girls.
Us Angels sure are good for our economy rightt?

Pfffffffffff, I think I'll take a break from quilting and sewing for about a week. Oh NO, can't do that at Camp. LOL

Hello Girlfriends - old and new!

I'm so sorry I've been so AWOL lately. I miss you all a lot. Things have been busy with the new grandbaby, work and life.

I am glad that summer is over and I have time to actually sew again. I cleaned up my sewing room last night and today and started the curtains for my grandson's room. They match one of the fabrics in his quilt that I made him.

I've had a rough couple of days for some reason. DH has been a bit crabby (even though he's usually a very nice guy!) and Rocky was sick today but now doing better. I had also hoped to go see DGS today but his mommy & daddy had plans so I'll get to see him tomorrow.

I'm very happy that tomorrow is Sunday and we get to go to church. That always lifts me up.

I hope all is well with all of you and I'll try to do better about hanging out around here! Love you all!

Well I got my bathroom, hallway and garage cleaned out after the sewage leak finally. It sure feels good to be done with that then I went to Smoky Bones for dinner with my sister and daughter. Now I am tired and am getting ready to take a shower. No sewing today unfortunately. I now have to clean the living room carpet so I will see how I feel tomorrow.
