A Finish YAY!!

I am happy to report that I finished the pinwheel baby quilt this week!  

YAY, I love a good finish.

  I will definitely be making this one again!!  It was a free pattern on the Moda Bake Shop.  

I used a vintage sheet I had for the backing.  Love it!

I did the quilting myself.

Love the straight lines!

I also wanted to share the amazing dinner my hubby made last night.  

His version of chicken and waffles. 

 It was so good!

Happy Quilting!

WIP Wednesday

I am working to finish up the pinwheel baby quilt.  

I am trying to finish up the quilting. 

 It certainly takes a long time.  The center portion took me about 5 hours!

Lots of straight line quilting going on right here.  

I did a few lines in the small border and decided to mimic that in the larger border.

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.  I now need to square it up and choose the binding.

I am hoping that this one will be completed soon.  

I would love to be able to cross it off my "finished" list.

Next up are getting my January Bee blocks made and mailed.

Last Of The Vacation

I will finish talking about the vacation and 

I thought I would share with you the fabric I purchased while on the trip down.

We stopped at 2 quilt shops on the way down. 

 I don't remember the name of the one I bought the purple and grays at but 

the other one was in Wytheville.  

How do I remember that town.  This, I remember it from this office supply shop.  Hilarious!

We did go to a hot sauce shop in St Armand's circle.  My daughter loves really hot things. 

 We found these hilarious hot sauces.

Once were were in Sarasota there is a quilt shop quite close to my in-laws place.

 It is called the Cotton Patch Quilt Shop.  

 I took my MIL there and found some great Tula and some Bonnie and Camille fabrics.

Love this purple and blue for binding!

Day Sail 

A Little Salt Water.

Livin' the Salt life (tee hee)

I used some of the B & C already to send off for the charm swap I am in.  

Those went out in the mail today!

Next up our trip to Jungle Jim's.  (I thought it was a tacky roadside safari deal, but NO, it is a GIGANTIC grocery experience!)

More later!
