Fast service

I took one of my sewing machines in to be cleaned yesterday, and I was able to pick it up today. That's what I call fast service!


Quilt shops are dangerous places for me. This wall hanging caught my eye.


This table runner also appealed to me. Of course I bought the fabric to make both!

I had quite an adventure when I got home. I found no house keys in my purse! I called Dave, but he was out making deliveries and was too far away to help me get in. Luckily, daughter Carol had her house key with her, so I headed in to school to get it. Rather than drive all the way home, I went to the hardware store to have a spare key made. After the key was made, I was chatting with Scott (the owner), and when I was ready to leave I reached in to my pocket for my car keys. I felt keys in my pocket, and then realized I had keys on my other hand. I went through all that hoopla, and my house keys were in my pocket all the time! Scott and I got a good laugh out of that!


I still had some tablecloths to finish up left from dinner theater the other night, so I worked on household chores in the afternoon. I'm sure you can guess by now that I worked on an Ice Drop here and there throughout the afternoon... another frilly one for Joanne!

    And the quilts are something my mother really got into she showed me lots of quilting tricks and I don't use them that often but love going to quilt shops

  4. Wow - that is fast service! Quilt shops are dangerous for me too - I just signed up for a Kaffe Fassett lecture. That's some fabric I can't pass up lately. Love those frilly ice drops!

  7. Amazing quilts! Looking forward to see yours :)
    That key story is totally something that could have happened to me! Most of the things I spend time looking for are right in front of me :/
