Over Labor Day weekend I traveled to my sister (in laws) house to spend time with her.
She and I have been crafters for many years. We go to 2 local retreats together every year now. I love spending time with her!
On Friday we went on our own private shop hop. I try to do this with her at least once a year. We went to my favorite, Keans, and Yards of Fabric then on to Country Stitches.
At Country Stitches they had this amazing Minky Peacock panel. I didn't buy it but it was amazing. I may need to go back and pick it up. I need to see if my daughter would even want something made out of it before I spend the money for it.
I loved this beach quilt! I also refrained from purchasing this pattern but I really loved it. I think it was a BOM .
If you know me you know how much I love Halloween. I loved this kit called Flying School. Now it combined my love of Halloween, quilting and the fact that I married a pilot into one kit. The roller skates were part of the kit as was the hair, but I just didn't want to spend the money. It is adorable though and if you need one I am sure you can give them a call.
After we stopped at Cornwall's Turkeyville for a great turkey lunch! We had hoped to go to Marshall but they closed at 2 as did the next shop. That was a bummer since their website said they were open until 5! We found one more shop to visit out in the middle of nowhere though, LOL. I think it was in Leroy. It was called Quilt 'N Go. I was plesantly surprised by this shop!
This barn was in the back of the shop.
The shop didn't look like much from the outside but it was a really nice little shop! Very bright and cheerful with LOTS of current lines of fabric!
I think next time we do this we will begin with the shops in the Marshall area and then progress to the Mason/Lansing shops.
We went back to her house and just hung out and sewed some. The next day though we got right to sewing. I brought the baby quilt I needed to bind and got the binding sewn on to it. I brought my Changing Station pattern and "stuff" to make that but didn't have one of the things I needed. Then I brought another baby quilt to work on and cut one of the HST wrong. That's it, I was out of things to make! I had cut out a bear quilt for her and I at our July retreat so I just sewed that for her!
I managed to get the bear quilt all finished for her. We picked up some of the bear Minky from JAF that I had previously purchased for mine (if I ever get to that). The quilt is Big Sky by Annie Brady. This is the Minky for the back. So stinkin cute!
I have been doing a lot of Keto cooking lately and will have a post about that soon too.
What are you guys working on right now?

I've been getting email reminders to vote for Finn, which I always do, and being told he is in 3rd place. Not sure if that's true -they would like me to pay $$$ for extra votes. Do you know how his scoring is doing?
