What a lovely day

front window - Copy

We woke up this morning to this… looked like a dreary sort of day out there.

But then this pretty package was delivered to my doorstep from Thelma and my day brightened considerably…

And when I found these gorgeous fabrics inside, it suddenly became an absolutely beautiful day! 

Thelma and Nicole had a great Spools Quilt sew-along using Camille Roskelley’s pattern, and one very, very lucky me won these as a prize. 

Thanks so much Thelma.  I really appreciate you.  The sew-along was fun and I will be looking for something special to use the charms for.

Look at this gorgeous variety of red and white fabric squares. 

polka dot block swap 125

I just got my package from Karen’s red/white swap and they are awesome!  All 125 of them!

027

That meant Karen sorted 15,625 five inch squares of fabric for the swappers!  She’s amazing!!  Thank you so much Karen, it was fun. 

And thanks to all the other swappers.  Great fabric choices.

Don’t you think the squares will be just perfect for something like this?

R & R

Mr. Sunshine and I have been out of town getting some rest and relaxation and spending time with family.

025

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.

Ever since the mailman delivered a special package to my house this morning, it’s been a wonderful day!  I have been anxiously awaiting this beautiful Glace fabric that I won in Thelma’s 250th post giveaway.  I still can’t believe I won and I can’t believe the prize….awesome!!

018

I’m going to use it to finally finish the Dresden quilt I started some time ago  ….now even bigger and better than originally planned.  This will be a quilt with a fun memory attached. 

You just have to go visit Thelma’s blog.  She is very inspiring!  She sews lots of amazing quilts and always puts her own twist into them.  I love watching her creative process and learn a lot from her.  Thank you again Thelma.  Here’s to 250 more fantastic posts…I’ll be looking forward to them all.

2 of my favorite things

I’ve been away for a few days having the best time ever.

 

First spending time together with my awesome family.  We did some biking and sightseeing and other fun stuff…

029

…and then I got to spend a whole wonderful day shopping for fabric. 

I see at least 6 great projects in this gorgeous pile.  (Most to be done in time for Christmas…oops…there’s that “C” word already)
