I had a nice trip up to the mountains this weekend. It was short and sweet with perfect weather and time with the family. Friday was spent on the beach, Saturday shopping with Mom and canoing with Dad on Sunday with lots of biking and playing with the boys sprinkled in between. The food was great because my SIL loves to COOK when camping but nary a smore was seen. We did make quasi-fried-dough in the pie iron which was spectacular. I even bought a cookbook that is all kinds of meals made entirely with pie irons of different shapes/purposes. I just might spend my trip next summer with just a pie iron. LOL.
Needless to say I did very little sewing this weekend. In fact I only finished one rose star, bringing my total to 5 now.
It is, however, a good thing that I do not join in Judy's weekly Stash Report because I went totally overboard at the quiltstore in Inlet this weekend. They are retiring in October and everything is 25% off. Denise and I are splitting the batiks but I also found some nice panels and coordinating fabrics that I can work into some nice quilts. There were also FQs and an awesome poison green. Whew. I haven't even used the fabric I bought there in July and I'll be back again in September. I need to search out some projects I can make for the upcoming Christmas Bazaars...
Don't forget that this week is your last chance to join in my THREE giveaways. There haven't been an overwhelming number of entries yet so you have pretty good chances...
Check out Feline Friday where I will be giving away some adorable cat fabric.
Check out Hexie Linky Party as there are actually 2 prize packages. One will be given for the person who helps me pick a name for the monthly party but another package will be given in celebration of it being my 500th post!!! Both packages will have fabric and hexie supplies generously donated by Paperpieces.com and Creekside Fabric and I'll be adding in some other goodies too. I mean what's a prize without chocolate?! Good Luck!
You didn't win?!?! Well pooh. You're not giving up trying though, right?! You absolutely SCORED on the batiks, didn't you?! Love, love! You did great on the other pile, too! I'm going to share a link with today's post with Joc -- your stars get more darling every time I see 'em!!! Glad you had a fun weekend ... although I have to say, what kind of camping trip is it when NO s'mores are made?!? The pie irons sound fun ... I may have to look that up! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous batiks! What fun for you two. : )
ReplyDeletePie irons are my best friends when we camp. We do berry fillings for breakfast, my grandkids love the pizza ones for dinner and ham and cheese are a wonderful lunch. We often do them over the camp stove when it is too crowded around the campfire.
Love the Rose Star and envy you the gorgeous fabric you bought.
