I mentioned a new online shop that I tried out – Quilting in the Rain. (And yes, I get the irony of me lamenting quilt shops closing while I shop online…but I knew none of the LQS’s I frequent carry layer cakes.) My BFF Noelle asked me to make a wall-hanging for her little girl’s new bedroom. So I picked out this lovely fabric and she loved it. So do I! The leftovers…they will be mine! Bwa ha ha ha!

Isn’t it awesome? The shop had some great precuts. Check them out! (PS – I was not paid or compensated in any way to mention or endorse this shop.)

Oh, and I noticed that my link to That Perfect Stitch in the prior post didn’t show up, so if you didn’t see what book I reviewed, here it is again:

I hope you have a wonderful day!

My new quilting table!

He ended up buying it at Joann’s, which isn’t bad, but a local quilt shop lost the sale because they were rude to The Husband.  Sigh.  Quilt shop owners, take heart!  It isn’t only quilters that come into your shop to spend money.  The Husband will never shop at the lqs for me again and I will probably only do so in a pinch (or until my current gift certificates run out.)  How sad for them…that could be literally thousands of dollars lost over the years.  I am tentatively saving for a new machine and now I know where I definitely won’t be buying it.  Tsk tsk.  It wasn’t like he was just buying a handful of fat quarters.  He was willing to spend hundreds of dollars…and got snubbed!  Though being rude to a customer spending any amount of money is inexcusable.

Have a listen…I hope you had a wonderful 2010, and that 2011 is even better!!!

Dig that flower border!

Sorry!!!

We’re going to be talking about something that I love — quilting!  Also we’ll talk about what it means to be a pioneer quilter.

Are you a pioneer quilter?!  I hope so!  Stop back soon to find out.
