Quilt Shopping...

 We ran to the next state for an overnighter to buy race car tires and drove right past a QUILT SHOP!!!  

This is what I came home with...

A panel of super cute houses as well as some fabrics to go with it.  I generally don't purchase panels, but I LOVED IT!

The next week I went to a teacher training upstate and went to the Cornwagon Quilt Shop.  I came home with these.  I have no idea what they will become, but I love them.

Christmas Row Quilt just needs a border - yay!

My next post will be all about the wonderful retreat I attended this week.  Here are a couple of the Sunflower blocks I made for the drawing.  No, I didn't win.

Here is the status of my Windmill Quilt before retreat.  Stay tuned for what I came home with.

I took my daughter-in-law out for her birthday last weekend.  They are living in the basement of an elderly couple who they take care of.  The lady upstairs loves to read, and brings the books downstairs when she is done.  I recognized several great titles and decided to take photos with the idea that I needed to read some of the ones I have not yet.  She has good taste in books.

We went for a little hike the other day with family and discovered some hidden gems in our back yard desert including a secret garden, Indian artifacts, a hidden arch, and a skinny little slot my nieces and nephew managed to squeeze through.
