Best Day Ever......(Again)...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was the Best Day Ever (Again)!

My day started off my friend dropping off a whole bunch of home baking that she did this week.  My son thought this was as good as Grandma coming to visit because I only ever make one type of cookie at a time, and today he got:

Chocolate Muffins

Peanut Butter Cookies

m & m Cookies

Chocolate, toffee, hazelnut Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lemon Blueberry loaf (in the freezer)

Along with jello and juice guess what his diet consisted mostly of today???

After lunch I picked up my special promotion boxes of yarn for Local Yarn Shop Day which was today at River City Yarns.  I LOVE that place.  They seriously have the BEST stuff.  Each box contains 5 mini skeins and a cat stitch marker and came with a store bag:

I really want to get started on one of these but alas I am supposed to be studying for my National Re-certification exam in less than a month.

Yesterday my friend Tara (cookie lady) and I were supposed to attend the Drayton Valley Quilt Show but I was unable to attend as my son was ill and needed attending.  Very fortunately another friend was going and she agreed to pick up my pre order from Purple Katz Quilting.  I was able to get this order this evening and now I think I shall head off to my craft room to see what all I can cut with my fancy new Tula Pink Rotary Cutter.  Thanks Liz.

I had pre ordered the Tula Pink All Stars Fat Quarter Bundle to replace the Tabby Road Quilt I had made for my Grammy (long story there), Tim Holtz Wide Backing for my Flowers for My Wedding Ring Quilt, and the rotary cutter as I like having 2 and I like heavy rotary cutters.  

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Shopping for a Cause

Good Evening Internet Friends!

"Sew" (pun intended) I headed out this morning with the intent of getting some solid black and maybe some extra green for my #quiltsforbroncos quilt.  The first store I stopped at was sold out, but they suggested that I try Quiltessential Co so I headed out there.  

I was "sew" amazed that as I walked in the front door they literally had a display set up with all the fabrics to make the #quiltsforbroncos.  I was super impressed with their display for this cause.  I always try to shop local and shop businesses that have a social conscience and of course during this time I have noted the businesses that took the time to support this cause that is near and dear to me.  I will remember that with my future purchases.

I did get solid black and some green, but I also found a few other fabrics that needed to come home with me:

On top of that it was Open House Days for the brand new Gammill Long Arm machines that they have in house and will be my local rep for ☺  I tried one of these out and it was AMAZING!!!  "Sew" excited to try this myself and see what I can do about finishing my own quilt tops ☺

Will try to finish my #quiltsforbroncos quilt tomorrow.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
