Productive weekend...

Thanks for all the get better wishes.  You all are great.  :)

Friday we just hung around the house with Glenn.  He has taken a week off after a very long summer at work and a much needed sitting at home was a great welcome to us all.  I did manage to get to the quilt preview Friday evening.  Well worth it I must say.  All the ideas flying around in my head won't be good for the checkbook.  They are just ideas, for now.  :)  I didn't get any holiday fabrics at all even though they were all gorgeous.  But I found myself loving this set and could not help myself.
They are from the Moda "Fresh Cottons" line.  I can't wait to finish all my other things on my list so I can get started on my next quilt.  The 'girls' at the quilt shop said to make sure I told Glenn that no one twisted my arm to get this.  The quilt shop is on his mail route and they always tell him when they get new stuff in for my to look at.  He always tells them that he will kindly 'forget' because that means money will be spent.  At least I'm good with supplies now for a while.  :)

Saturday found us at a couple of old book stores in a near by town.  I don't know why I thought it would be a quick trip.  That is one of Glenn's favorite places to go 'hunting' around.  We ended up spending the majority of the afternoon searching for treasures.  It was fun and I know we will be back again, soon.

The pumpkin hats were finished yesterday and they are too cute!  The little ones of the family will look great in them.

Sorry to run but there are lots of things planned for today.
Mostly a quick cleaning around here after lessons.
Then there will be some enjoying the cooler weather today.  A most wonderful high of 65F today!
I'm just too happy about it!  Even with the gray clouds in the sky.
I think I'm seeing a pot of Chicken and White Bean Chili with cornbread on the menu tonight.
Thank you Fall for finally showing up.
I was waiting so patiently for you.
Thanks for not making me wait anymore.  It was hard.
:)

  7. Fabric is addicting, isn't it? I love to collect it, but rarely do anything with it. It's just hard to let the pretty ones get away.
    The hats are just about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

  9. Oh! such cute hats I love them. It's always great when one gets something new and colorful. Fabric squares can be addictive :) My problem is I would never sew them together when they look so pretty in that little round.
