Home again ***VBS***















Now that vacation is over and our work is done ( except for 4 days), maybe I can get busy sewing, and that will be great ***VBS ***,

actually I have sewed a little. But that will be another post,in the next few days.

These are pictures that I made while at Murrell's Inlet,my sister and I went to 3 stores while at Myrtle Beach, and this is the only one that I took pictures of.I didn't have my camera at the first one and the last one didn't allow pics taken. This was a very nice spacious shop, lots of pretties and LOTS of lovely fabrics. I am sure all of you get tired of reading that all the shops are pretty and have nice fabric selections, but after all, that is what quilt shops are all about ***VBS***.

I have been very busy trying to get settled back here, I find myself looking for things that I should remember where I put them, am not sure if it's old age or what, but it is frusterating. Last Wednesday I was going to sew and after I got my machine back out ( I put it up while I was gone) I COULD NOT find the thread caps to my machine, well, I searched for about 30 minutes and decided that I must have lost them, even though I didn't take them with me, but I went in the other room and was doing some other things and all the sudden I remembered exactly where they were. SO, I did get to sew after all.Tomorrow I plan to quilt 2 baby quilts I have put together, I used some panels, so I really didn't MAKE a quilt, but the families that I will give them too, will like them anyway, or so I hope.I also, put together a Christmas throw, and that took a little more time and thought. I put a flange after the panel and it has 5 borders and cornerstones and I appliqued stars on the cornerstones.All in all I was proud of it. I made it for the LQS, hopefully it will meet the owners approval and she will want to display it. We haven't taken pics yet, I want to wait until I get the baby quilts completed. I don't know how much sewing time I will have tomorrow, There is a mountain of laundry to get done. So we will just wait and see, I do have them sandwiched and pinned,I'm happy that is done. That is my least favorite part of making a quilt.

I have rattled enough for tonight, so hope all of you are quilting memories, see you soon, take care,
