O.k here's the other half of the pictures...sorry it took so long....where is the time going does anyone know??? Oops I loaded the pictures backwards...duh. So first of all are some pictures of the fall items they have displayed throughout the store...be prepared to want to whip out your credit card :)























And now back to the Quilt Show part 2 :)









Here is my progress so far on the gemstones quilt. It's done except for the borders. And here is my Summer Stash quilt almost done--I'm off to finish the binding now :) Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!

Country Loft Quilt Show

Saturday was the Country Loft's annual Sew for the Cure auction and Quilt Show. By the time I arrived the auction quilts were pretty much gone but the quilt show was amazing. I took like 60-70 pictures!! I don't know how I'm going to decide which ones to show...everything was so amazing. I need to start putting them up though because the San Diego Quilt Show is this weekend and then I will have those pic's to share. I can't get too far behind or I'll forget :) So with no further comment from me here they are. As usual you can click on anything to enlarge it. And with some of these you really need to see them bigger to truly appreciate them, especially the stitcheries and some of the smaller items.





























More to follow :)

Holy Cupcakes!!

Well my awesome box of cupcake amazingness came in the mail today!!! I'm crowning Cheryl "Swap Queen"!!! I felt my heart beat faster as I got this first peek:
If you read my blog you know I am infatuated with the Swell line by Moda and so I would have been quite content if this had been the only item in my box...cupcake or no :) I just love it!!!
But let me tell you it was not anywhere near the only item in this box chock full of goodies!!
Sitting in the swell purse was this sweet little cupcake Annie. She was surrounded by pink tissue wrapped goodies. Cheryl was most thoughtful in making sure she could breathe while in transit :) I love her!Look at this adorable wall hanging...which came complete with hanger! This is going in my sewing room. I love it!I hope no one gets tired of the phrase "I love it" 'cause you're gonna be hearing it a lot, I absolutely LOVE, love, love everything she sent!!!
Next up is this too cute sewing basket. It closes up and looks like a giant yo-yo! Inside was this little cupcake measuring tape with little hearts....I love it!! I don't know how she managed to find all these fun little goodies....look at that bath fizz tablet, that great tea towel under it all.
And how about these tea lights, and that frame , cute card and even a nail file!
Oh and a great cupcake calendar that you can see in the top photo.
Ahhhh yes I am in cupcake heaven :) Am I spoiled or what? Cheryl you did an amazing job!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! You are the bestest swap partner a girl could want :)
And thank you to Sharon for organizing this fun swap and giving me such a fun partner!!!!
