Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful weekend. Remember our soldiers in your prayers. Freedom is not free.
I know you are going to be busy doing fun things. I will be open 10-5 Monday. Might slip up to the park for a picnic supper.
Be safe.

This is better than Christmas. Just seeing that UPS truck pull up. I think we should just rename the driver NICK. He wasn’nt to jolly today. He complained “This stuff is heavy” Well I told him that was a sign of good fabric. This was 20 bolts of Fresh Cottons by Fig Tree Quilts for MODA. And yes I’m dieing to get started on a quilt. But—- Like most quilters I really need to finish some of these other things I have started.
Lets get busy quilting!

OHHHH! How am I ever going to get time to quilt a quilt from all this beautiful fabric. This is FRUITCAKE by Basic Grey for Moda.
I think I will have to use my easy pattern.
Lets make a quilt!

I just had to take a picture of this thimble. My friend brought this to me the last time she was here and I just love it, and don’t my Mothers Day flowers look pretty in it.

Here is a cute apron by Cabbage Rose. I think yesterday was National Apron Day. So many possibilities.
Speaking of cute. Here is one of my cuties on Mothers Day eating sprinkels.

Abraham Lincoln said it all for me. “All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my mother.”
