Mr. Sunshine and I have been out of town getting some rest and relaxation and spending time with family.
While I was there, (in Idaho) I picked up some beautiful red fabric for Karen’s 5” red/white fabric swap. I’m really excited to be able to participate.
I also found a fabric outlet store and came away with lots of other wonderful fabrics as well. Average price….$3.60 a yard!! And all quilt quality…the kind of fabric you like to sit and caress…it just feels so heavenly and looks so pretty.
My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, Rhonda and I spent an afternoon sewing some tiny book covers. I had my camera with me but didn’t think to take a single picture of us working together at the kitchen table. I don’t know why, other than we were just too involved in what we were doing.
My sweet little Featherweight came with me and she sewed like a dream. I just love her.
We shopped and ate and played games and visited and had a great time.
I also got in some nap time and finished two good books.
I highly recommend them both.
It was wonderful to get away for awhile. Now we are both refreshed and ready to dive back into our normal routines.

I think that is the same fabric I almost bought for the red and white 5 inchers today at Hobby Lobby!
But I came home empty handed.

Looks like a nice R and R! Good for you and some nice "souviners" too.
Welcome Home, it's great to have you back. I can hardly wait to see what you make out of that wonderful haul of fabric.
Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing time doing just what you love. Pretty fabric choices.
Just discovered your blog. It is wonderful! I love that little quilt shown with your Featherweight. Do you know the name of the pattern?
what wonderful fabrics!
Looks like you had a wonderful time on your R&R. Those little book covers are too cute -- I'm thinking I need a featherweight too!
Love the book covers...what fun doing it with your Mom and sister. I love sewing day with my sister!
Those little book covers are adorable! Do you have the instructions posted online? I'd like to make a few into Bible covers for gifts.
