to kick off the festivities i went to my
BFFE's in NC and we ate too much
and spent too much. always a good time!
She took me to a quilt store: Wish Upon a Quilt.
They had Tula Pink's Prince Charming AND
Parisville line. AWESOME!! it was like
meeting a movie star, sew i got a few to
bring home, along with a few others.
When i got back the hub took me on
a suprise trip to the Luray Zoo. It is a
rescue zoo. I loved it, i just wished that
animals loved me as much as i love them!
:D And of course he took me to a little
quilt shop where i found these:
FEED SACKS!!! like in the wild
and everything! He got these for me.
I was soooooo excited. I've never
seen them in a store before. I have some
that my mom gave me; these will join
them, prob. never be used. I mean they
are antiques, you can't just go cutting up
antiques!
My mom and dad also got me this kit
which i LOVE, but i am pretty
sure that when i get around to actually
doing it, there will be a lot of sailor
talk going on!! i mean, look at all that
applique! this is my nightmare on elm st.
but it is just sew beautful...i must make
myself do this.
and the piece de resistance:
CHECK OUT THIS SEAM RIPPER!!!!
how stinkin' kewl is this?! I got this in NC.
I about had a cow right in the middle of the store.
The lady helping us had quite a laugh.
All the people there are awesome, btw, sew
if your ever in the area, please look them up.
you'll have a gr8 time just talking to them,
never mind all the fabric! :)
Well, sorry my pix were not up to my
standard quality, but i am lazy from
vacation and its hard to get back in
the groove. I will have some nice
nature pix soon.
Hope yall had a good weekend
and your week is going just as well!

All right, enough of that, I have a horrible voice.
Looks like you made quite the haul there, lady. Don't sweat the applique; that's what fusible is for. Also, love the seam ripper. I've seen them before, but never ponied up the cash to buy one for myself. They're right purty.
Sounds like a great birthday to me!
Awesome birthday stash!!!! Your family definitely know you well~~
Happy Birthday!!
Hey D,
