Saturday Happenings

It is getting dark earlier and earlier and when it gets dark, I tend to want to slow down and go to bed but can't do that! So far today I have gotten NO sewing done. But it's been a good day. Here's my Scrappy Happy Houses made from Bonnie's pattern. My blocks are a little larger than Bonnie's. I quilted it using the Angel Wings panto by Willow Leaf. The panto kinda reminds me of angels watching over the houses. I donated this quilt to the tornado victims in Evansville, IN. And, since the quilt shop in Boonville, IN is where the quilts are being collected,I had to go to the quilt shop today! :) Vince and I drove over there, and I bought the fabric I need for two heart quilts I have to make. While pulling fabrics for the heart quilts, I pulled out two that I loved but they ended up not working for the heart quilt. Vince was standing there and he said he liked the fabrics too and said "oh, just get it. It can be part of your Christmas." But, I said I was not buying anything I didn't need, no feeding the stash . . and I walked away without those two fabrics. That's a fantastic step for me! From Boonville, we went to Evansville and ate at Culver's. I forget how much of a zoo it gets to be in real cities. Traffic! Where do all these people come from? Makes me very happy to live in a small town. One of my new patterns will be Carmel Court. The blue/yellow quilt will be the main one on the pattern cover and the red/black one will be in the corner just to show it in other colors. I haven't seen the cover design yet so I'm not totally sure how it will look. I made the red and black one first and then made the blue and yellow one from my stash. Judy
