Read Any Good Books Lately?

 I came across this book a few weeks back , flipping through the pages  it  seemed like it'd be a good read,I haven't dove into yet ,perhaps in the next few days

No sewing today,just a lot of planning for more prepping 

Scrappy Blocks & Working On Some Finishes

 17 more scrappy blocks to add to the tin

With a new total of 78 & only 87 more blocks to go ,I don't think the tin will hold them all😄

Throughput the evening I'll work on getting the finishing touches on these 2 

Sewing Rows Together On The Red & White Top

 In-between sewing the rows together & thinking of how many more blocks to cut sew etc.,I thought I'd best be sewing  the rows together as I go if I wanted it quilted by Christmas , so early this morning the first 5 rows  got sewn together 

Here's a close up of the prints

Sunday Inspiration

 

Let The Shop Hoping Begin!

 This morning my my niece picked me up & we were off to the 1st shop hop  Scattered Threads in Northport Ala."15 min away"😄 I got the most gorgeous Fall fabric,the plans for it is to make a quilted mat for the stove stop but I got 2 yards just in case I want to add an apron 😄

Fayette Ala. is only a little less than an hours dive so we headed that way to Scrap Iron Quilting where I picked up some gorgeous red prints for a pillow top I want to do for Christmas that spells out JOY 

Fayette is also the home of the Golden Eagle Syrup they are sometimes open for tours

Each shop that you visit gives out a complimentary quilt square, I wonder how many we'll end up with 

No matter where you go if there's a Walmart, you've 

 got to go😄 Fayette is also known for their Frog festival so why not snag a selfie in front of the mural inside the walmart front door 😄
