Back From Vacation!

We made it back last Sunday and this past week the weather was so great here, we worked in the yard and garage. But here are a few pictures from the trip.

We took the dogs with and here is Poochie and the remote. She loves to watch her favorite shows even while on vacation :)

We went to the Kansas City Zoo and here is a close up of the seal. He was within inches of me. SO cute

Hubby loves barbeque so...here is the best barbeque in the World! Oklahoma Joes in Kansas City, the resturant is in a gas station, but the food is AWESOME! we got there a little after Noon and the line continued til after 1 -- mmmm....good

And of course we went to some quilt shops and here are my treasures.

And we traveled thru Iowa and saw some great barn quilts. here is one

All in all a wonderful vacation, several barbeque stops, 9 quilt shops, the zoo and lots of other adventures.

I hope you have a great day and I hope you had a hoppy Easter.

Off to the creation station...see you tomorrow

Sew In Results

Happy Sunday Morning

Well I did not get as much done as I hoped for on Friday night, I got all my nine patches done for my Schnibbles and then laid it out only to find out I did not have enough of the blue for the star points that I wanted to use. So yesterday when I was at the BOM I picked up another piece of what I wanted for the points. So I can get this done later today. It is a patriotic theme. I think it will be great when it is done.

I did get my notebook cover completed. I just love this chicken panel. So I did finish something.

Yesterday afternoon and for about 4 hours today I am working at the local home and garden expo. Nice to see alot of our customers from last year. Of course it was the first day of Spring here in Northern IL and it SNOWED all day, I mean all day, but it was the perfect snow, it only measured up on the grass. Since it was so warm during the week (in the 60's) I think the sidewalk and driveways were immune to it, and the tempeture yesterday was between 30 and 34 so it melted quickly. Today it is going to rain all day. Wonderful! I will be happy to be at the show and then come home and sew.

Do something fun today!

Sewin Tonight and Easter Decorations

Hello

Are you ready for the Friday Night Sew in? I am -- I need to cover this notebook for tomorrows BOM -- I have this chicken panel that will be so cool on the front. That is project 1.



Then I am going to sew up Cindy Lou Who Schnibbles in patriotic -- I think that will make a great table topper. It is cut and just waiting.

Yesterday I thought, gosh there are only a few weeks til Easter and I better enjoy my Easter things, so I put up my little embrodiered basket mini - you see it when you walk in the front door.

Then I have this WILD and CRAZY WABBIT -- it is so bold and happy looking he is on the wall near the door.

I love his whiskers!

Then I have this from over 10 years ago but he is one of my favorites, it is all raw edge applique he hangs right next to the front door. He looks like a delicous chocolate bunny!

Well I have some phone calls to make for work and then help hubby in the garage and then hopefully want to start my sew in a bit early tonight, I think "night" will start around 4 today!

Happy Stitches!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Top Of the Mornin' to you!

Are you dressed in Green today?

What a fun day, I am going to work for awhile today and then home for the corned beef and cabbage dinner. Hubby makes a great corned beef. My mom used to love this holiday, and made the best corned beef ever!

I have had a cold the beginning of the week, so I got nothing really done in the Creation Station. I think when I get home today I will get up there and get my stuff ready for the Friday night Sew In. Are you participating in that?

I have so many projects to pick from, that could take up most of the afternoon.

Well have a wonderful day
Happy Stitches
