Stitching It Up

Quilt Walk

The Quilt Walk was great!!!!! I had so much fun teaching those lady's in my classes. They were all great, they picked up on the Brazilian Embroidery fast, I was so proud of all of them. I am happy to say that I will be going back again next year to teach again.

 

For those of you that have not been, you should really try to get over there, even just to drive threw the town, when you first drive into town, in any of the directions you can come in, they have quilts hanging everywhere. We loved it.

It was raining so they didn't have as many quilt as they usually do, but none the less is was fun.

We drove over to Hatch to eat at a great little diner called Adobe Cafe. It was so good, I don't usually order tuna at a restaurant but something about her tuna salad sandwich just sounded good, when I got it I was not disappointed, it was not fishy at all it was huge and also one of those messy yet great sandwiches. Definitely a place I recommend. Good o'l country food :).

Thanks again Lady's for all your hard work. 

Monday

Wow it is already after 5 on Monday and I don't know where the day or the weekend went.

I spent friday finishing Clancy & Clarabel. They are so cute, the kids have already tested my stitching by throwing them and swinging them around by the arms and legs.

Then I spent Saturday with my husbands mom Sally getting all the kits ready for the Brazilian Embroidery class on Friday. Sally is going to be watching the store for me Thursday and Friday, so you guys come in and say HI to her. 

Then we went to get the kits ready for the Thursday Knit class. I realized I didn't have the pattern so I wrote one up and spent all day Sunday knitting and tim ming myself to see how long it would take me to knit the pattern I wrote so that we would have enough time in the class to do them.

Well I did it. We have 3 hours and I hope we can do it in that time, we should.

I think they are pretty cute also.

Now here it is Monday night and I spent today reorganizing the store and putting more of the new things away, and didn't get any sewing done, well better luck tomorrow right????

I guess I can't wait for Quilt walk this weekend.

A face lift

Jeff has been doing so much for me here at the store, and this one I really have to say, Thanks Hun for all you do. Jeff is so afraid of heights, that for him to get up there and put the signs up  was a triumph for him. (for me it was a wonderful comedy show, taking pictures and shaking from laughter, there he was shaking with fear).

He had to sit and scratch his head a couple of times, probably wondering "what the heck am I doing up here". but he did a A+ job, I even had him wash the windows while he was up there (after he wrote Jeff was here on it) ya he wasn't to happy about that either. 

But the face lift looks cute and we are really happy with it. Oh I love my little mail slot on the door I think that it is sooooo cute.

IT"S BACK!!!!

Ok so I am so excited, I sent off Once Upon a Time to Lori on Tuesday, and can I just say "I love ya Lori you spoil me so much", (I'm not complaining).

IT'S BACK! She finished it and brought it to me Saturday night, and let me tell you it is soooo cute, I loved it before and now I just cherish it, I sent an email to Melly the designer and I am also excited to say that my quilt will be the first one that she has seen completed! YAHOO!!

Ok when I get it all bound I will put up a picture of it, I will put a picture of a block on for now just to wet the appetite though.. Come in and sign up for this or just send me an email, I am just waiting for my white fabric and then we can all start this one. I am so excited. I love my new store and if you haven't been in, come on in and check it out. Hope to see ya soon and hear from ya soon.
