Off to Texas

My daughter loves anything that has moose. Her pillowcases just got mailed this morning in her Christmas box. They were made entirely from my stash for king-size pillows. Do you recognize the Thimbleberries?

More in the mail

I finished and mailed out more Christmas presents -
A set of pillowcases to Mississippi

and a set to Florida

And then I decided I wanted Christmas curtains in the powder room. I looked through my stash and I found blue snowmen!

More pillowcases

Out the door. There are flannels going to Syracuse NY. The best part was finding the flannel for $2.99/yd at the hardware store in Quarryville. Do you recognize the Judy Rothermel civil war print?

Pillowcases for Christmas

I have been working on Christmas. One of the projects involves pillowcases for everyone - some seasonal and some not.

Had to make one for my super king size pillow that I have to sleep on! It is the one in the Bernina (made from fabric in my stash).

First one to get mailed out is going to Brice in Texas.

Thanksgiving

I did a little decorating for Fall and Thanksgiving. This a picture of one of my displays.

Thrifting on Kent Island

Last weekend I was home alone. I had fun flitting around to some of my favorite stores. First, I found a klutz glove at Tuesday Mornings for @$7. I think I need to wear one when using twister templates!

 I got a yarn fix for $8 at the Second Hand Rose shop. The yarn came from a shop in Ontario, Canada according to the business card that was in the bag. I put it in this basket I found a Living Waters Thrift store. It has that unusual slit.

 I love this find. The farm in NY has lots of old milk cans but none escaped with me. This one has my favorite Canadian geese painted on.

 I found some Winterberry to add to my collection.

October's Quilt Retreat

Loved it! I love going to quilt retreat. I can just relax, not clean and cook, quilt, catch up with friends and the view looking out over the Chester River is awesome.
Peggy showed off her Trip Around the World made with batiks. It is the biggest quilt I have ever seen!

One participant was using a Singer featherweight (well loved). She hand embroidered her blocks. She said her machine cannot do the fancy piecing ours did.

The back is as nice as the front.
Look at the hand work on her applique block -- gorgeous.

Here is another quilter's outstanding work...

What did I do? Gossiped with Jo Anne, Barbara, and Denise. Ran around Kent Island. Got a manicure. visited the library. Shopped at Peggy's for more quilt stuff. Worked on my tumbler quilt & 1600 jelly roll & flannel kit from Michigan & Pampered Pooch charm quilt (which I have taken all apart) & made my first twister.

 I can hardly wait for the annual Powder Puff quilt retreat!!!
