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.
