HI!!

JUST WNTED TO SHARE SOME STUFF FROM THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA QUILTERS RUN
I DIDN’T DO TOO MUCH SHOPPING. I PICKED UP SOME FAT QUARTER’S AND THIS PATTERN.
IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A MARKET TOTE BUT I MADE O NE THAT I AM GOING TO BE USING AS A PURSE.

THE QUILT SHOPS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO USUALLY DON’T LET YOU TAKE PICTURES INSIDE SO I DON’T HAVE VERY MANY PICTURES.
THE ONLY ONE THAT DID LET ME WAS FLYYING GEESE
THEY ALWAYS HAVE GOOD QUALITY FABRIC AND GREAT STUFF ON DISPLAY.
THEME THIS YEAR WAS CARNIVAL SO AT THE ENTRANCE THEY HAD THIS TREE

I LOVE THIS APRON

MY FAVORITE QUILT.

PLACEMAT I MIGHT TRY TO MAKE

WE ONLY WENT TO THE ORANGE COUNTY STORES. I DON’T KNOW THAT I COULD HANDLE 40+ STORES LOL

I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL QUILT SHOPS, CAKE SHOPS, ART SHOPS OR WHAT EVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE INTO.
EVERYBODY IS HAVING A HARD TIME STAYING OPEN ANYMORE SO LET’S NOT LET THE SMALL SHOPS BE VICTIMS.

THANKS FOR VISITING, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

HOLA!

I FOUND TODAY’S TIP IN A MAGAZINE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECT!

AND JUST AN EXTRA ONE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAKE SMOOTHIE’S.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY

THANKS FOR VISITING!!
