I'm finally retired and feel I can do what I love. I'm so happy to be out of the rat race! I try to quilt, read and knit as much as possible. I love to get comments and will respond to each and every one! I hope you enjoy my little blog as much as I do! Thank you for visiting me!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day! It looks like Lily likes the roses I got from my husband for Valentine's Day! I'm so glad I made that table topper. The roses look perfect there!
I haven't been doing too much sewing lately. I did go fabric shopping this past Friday. I went to Fabric Extravaganza which is an annual event I look forward to. A few quilt shops get together and offer fabric and supplies at great prices. Unfortunately, I didn't buy anything this year. Due to my disappointment, my friend and I decided to drive to The Bunkhouse Quilt Shop which was close to a 45 minute drive. It was well worth the drive!
Here's what I bought!
I needed 3 coordinating fabrics to make this wreath.
I plan on making one for me and one for my mom. I've been reading the directions but they don't really make sense to me. I'm hoping they make more sense once I'm actually working on the wreath.
Got to go! We're having a little birthday party for my son. Can't believe he's already 24! He's the best Valentine's Day I'll ever get!

Beautiful roses--and they do look perfect on your little table topper...stay warm hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day. Thank goodness it's warmer today! We won't mention the ice we had out there this morning!
Deleteroses, cats and a Valentine topper. what more says love? LOL
ReplyDeletepretty fabric choices for your wreaths. I think
they are just squares tacked and maybe stiffened by the looks of it. pretty new project!
Thanks! I think you're right about the wreath. It almost sounds like a craft project instead of quilting! Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day!
DeleteYour flowers are beautiful and they do look lovely on the table topper. Great fabrics looking forward to seeing the reef. From one extreme to another our weather has been scorching and the AC is working over time. Good luck with the reef cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! You're dealing with the heat while we're struggling with the cold! I'll post my progress when I start the wreaths!!
