Show and Tell!

Yesterday was a disappointing day.  My friend and I had
planned a trip to our favorite quilt shop, but it turned out to
be a snowy day.  We received about 4 inches of fresh snow
and as a result very icy and slick roads.  So, our outing was
put off until today.

When I awoke to a blanket of fog, I thought "No, it can't
be. We can't put this off again!"  Luckily by the time I
arrived home from work it had lifted enough to be safe to
travel and for her to drive down the canyon.  Although she
did get into some areas of thick fog, for the most part it was
good.  And once we headed out, there was no problem.
In fact, on our way home we were favored with sunshine
and partially clear blue skies.

We were so happy to find Moda's "Sunkissed" for our
Birdie BOM stitchery ( http://littlemissshabby.blogspot.com )









and fell in love with all the beautiful fabrics and colors in this
line and knew immediately that we wanted our quilt out of
this fabric.  The gray for the background is just perfect!
Now to get that first block sewn and stitched.

Of course, one cannot just walk in there and not come
away with more projects:

Found this stitchery for a St. Patrick's Day Pillow and
some awesome green fabric...













...And some pink fabric to use in a stitchery for my
Granddaughter's special  birthday coming up in May.
(Sorry  pictures do not do justice to the  greens and
pinks)


















And last of all two Valentine Stitchery patterns
that may or may not get done this year:















Guess it's a good thing I just completed a couple of
projects so I could replace the empty spots in  my sewing
room!
