CITY ADVENTURES!

Off we went yesterday to Jacksonville to go to the Apple store for me to  unlock my lost phone that was returned to me (I know, I can''t believe it-remember it was the 'new' phone I left on the plane in Portland!) and to get the newest phone's screen replaced because I dropped it.  I'm not doing too well with phones lately but I am starting a better chapter!  Also we went to the Quilt shop that we had back-ordered the Shop Hop fabric from and they called to say it was in!  Since it was only 15 minutes from the Apple store we combined the trip!  

Here is the panel that will be the central part of our quilts-to-be.

The border fabric.  And we also bought a Fat Quarter bundle that was from the same line but since they only had one left already, we decided to split it and as soon as Mary cuts them all in half, I will show them, too.  I am combining several patterns so will have to do some drafting before any actual sewing will take place!

And this beautiful ombre fabric came along in the cart!  I have so many colors to chose from now to make the Dahlia quilt so no more putting it off!

And I was happy to find this in my mail!  Ahhh, what a luxury to have hand-made soap again!  Thank you, Araignee'!

 

ALL FLORIDA SHOP HOP DAY #1

We had a beautiful day to drive to start our Shop Hop yesterday, we visited 5 shops and traveled 171 miles!

This year, you collect a printed block for each shop you visit.  These will be added to a quilt we will make to commemerate the Hop with fabric just released for the event.

This was my haul for the day-FQ's, charm packs, backing fabric, a couple of panels (the brown one in the back is a Steam  Punk one--a weakness for me!) and a new Accuquilt die!

We (Mary and I) had a wonderful day

 and look forward to Day #2 in a week or so!

  (when we recover! lol)
