More Shop Hop Adventures

 Bigbee Quilt shop is a cute little shop in Jackson Ala. besides Walmart that's about all there was to venture out to, I'm in the process of making pillowcases & there was a very slim selection of childrens prints but I did come away with 3 yards of this cute print

Fell in luv with this pattern ,after getting home & pulling it out & discovering that its a mini book of instructions I was like what?🙆😄 but it has layouts & measurements from crib to queen size

Absolutely luv this verigated thread in the Fall colors,maybe I'll dive into this pattern after I get the pillowcases finished & delivered 

A small little shop but cute as a bug & the employees are just the sweetest!

A Touch Of Fall 🍁

It hard to think Fall with temps still rising in the 100's but according to the calendar it will be here  September 22nd

That's right at just 2 weeks to get ready for friends & family to gather for my Fall celebration buffet dinner party ,my great grand niece & nephew look forward to getting the pumpkin tree as they call it, set up every year,after church it was pizza & games at their favorite pizza place ,my niece & nephew "GiGi & PoPs " dropped them off at my house on the way home  ,we fluffed the tree,did light inspection,the middle section was out so we had to round up a strand from the garage,pre lit is nice but once they're out they're out lol

The fun part is turning out the light & having that awww moment😄 I got the hutch ready to transition into its Fall mode & then they colored & watched Toy Story

Gigi & PoPs came to retrieve their grandbabies 😄I changed cloths & was close behind them onto the next adventure to Sadies 🐕 house , Molly had invited a few close friends from church to celebrate her birthday,her sons & daughter-n-law  did all the planning from the cake down to catering from the Olive Garden,Sunday was a busy but fun day from church to lunch & arcade 

games to decorating the Fall tree to a birthday celebration & you guessed it! i brought Sadie home with me to spend the night 😄 

Sunday Inspiration

 

Things Are Buzzing In The Sewing Room

 

Back on pillowcase duty ,I finished sewing up the ones waiting to be sewn,rolled all the ones that were cut

How far have you gotten on a project before you realized the spool was out of thread? For me it was the whole 2 sides of the pillowcase 🤣

It was time to step away & take a break,I fixed lunch & pulled the panel quilt top out & added a double row of 4 patches to the bottom they were all ready sewn in pairs so it didn't take long, the top & another round of borders & this may get a start on getting quilted this coming  week

Let me share a blessing from my latest fabric haul from Hobby Lobby ,upon telling the sales lady the yardages of each one,they asked what was I making,when I shared with them about Ryans Case For Smiles,they extended the yardages ,instead of coming home with 22 yards I came home with 30 yards! God is so good!

Theses are from my stash that I'm finishing up

Over 40 yards to cut,can you guess what I'll be doing for the remainder of the weekend?🤣

NorthPort Pickers Grand Opening

 There's a heat advisory out today & you can sure nuff feel it,if I didn't need rotary blades I wouldn't of gotten out but I did so I did 😄as long as I was out I met up with my niece & we went to the grand opening of North Port Pickers then went to lunch, it was hard to get good over all pictures with so many people so I just snapped a few things that caught my eye, a friend from church has a booth with lots of sweet things,I didn't know she painted she's been holding out!🤣

There was a good turn out & still quite a few booths waiting to be filled ,some were still setting up,this place is so hudge & still growing!

Bonus Quilts

 I was thinking about past quilts that I've made from scraps from other quilts & projects ,I tell people these are my free quilts,they cost me nothing but time to make😄
