Quiet Sunday

I bought some gray FQs at my LQS.  Yay!  I have very little of this color but I've been thinking of making a quilt with it as the background.  I remember when it first hit the scene, I did not like it in any quilts but that has changed for a while now.

I needed to get a new coat today in anticipation of visiting my DD in Birmingham.  I spotted this downright silly sign promoting quilted jackets.  Needless to say, its caught my eye across the store!  I saw the word "quilts" and made a beeline. Lol.

And lastly, a pillowcase I won from Kathy or I should say signed on to do a Pay It Forward.  I have a year to make three gifts and give them away paying it forward. Stay tuned for that!  I might add the pillowcase is going up to BMH with me.  I'm bringing my pillow!

Posting will be light for the next week or so.

Where I am...

Where I want to be.
Maybe next year... and then I'd like to go here,

Cinque Terre veduta di Manarola, Italy

Hope you're having an enjoyable Sunday~

Finds

I stopped by the Tuesday Morning store on Tuesday morning (!) and look what I found.  I don't go ofter as our store is really messy and it takes forever to sort through the merchandise.  Most of what you see is made-in-China junk but there were some real finds.

Like this fat quarter stack from Westminster Fabrics, Tina Givens fabric for $29.99.
I mainly went to look at a Gee's Bend Quilt kit they were supposed to have but didn't.

And then I found a new local quilt shop!  It's called A Quilter's Stash. 

 It's a small store but with a nice assortment, the owner is a male quilter in his 60s.  He proudly informed me he has been quilting since 1974!  Cotton fabric has certainly changed since he began.

I almost weakened for these.  They are so similar to an older line, Sanctuary by 3 Sisters.  So soft, so feminine, and right up my alley.

All the bolts are priced the same which was a good $1.50 more than at other area stores.  I contented myself with just a look.  I'm overflowing as is with fabric.
I left on a crack of dawn flight to St. Louis this morning.  The plan is to move my daughter out of her college apartment, and drive back to Florida.  It's a fun drive  as I thoroughly enjoy her company.
Talk to you later~
