"Cabin Fever Shop Hop"
Yesterday I went on a bus trip to 5 different Quilt Shops.... The trip was called "Cabin Fever Shop Hop"... There was 31 of us ladies who went... First we went to "Royce Quilting" shop in West Ben, WI.... then off to "The Sewing Basket" in Plymouth, WI...off to "Material Matters" in Cedarburg, WI... while we were here, I went across the street to "The Chocolate Factory" to get a turkey sandwich.. It was YUMMY... then off to "The Quilted Basket" in Menomonee Falls, WI...and Then off to "Patch Works" in Elm Grove, WI.... :) We started our day in West Bend at 8:30 am and returned back at West Bend to get our car to go home at 5:15 pm....At each shop they gave us discounts on our purchases and served sweets and or soup.... They also gave each of us a recipe and a free pattern from each shop... The shops listed above also gave us a $10.00 off coupon for our next return trip to their shops...:) This was a way I got to know other quilters and meet new people.... since I am new to the area and it was a great chance to see where there is other Quilt Shops were....Everyone was very friendly and on the bus as well as in the shops.... But, we know that quilters are friendly and nice... Some have great idea's and was willing to share their stories in how they got started in quilting... :)

A Visitor
This dear was hungry and came into our backyard to eat.... He looked at us when we took the picture.... What a beautiful deer to see up close..... approx. 100 yards from where we were standing..... This visitor was not startled by us.... There was another deer in the front of the house nest to us waiting for this one to finish eating.... This is Wisconsin..... :)

Debbie's place mats
I know some of you did not see the place mats I made for my sister in May 2008.... Debbie chose the pattern and the fabric.... It was a challenge and I had to design this myself....She did not want round place mat... I also made a circle mat to go in the center.... She was happy with the results.. :)
Christmas Siggy Quilt
Great Book
The reason I have not posted much lately is because I got hooked on this book.... I could not put this book down because it held your interest page after page... It is 3 books in one and it is a complete trilogy...... "Born in Fire, Born in Ice and Born in Shame"..... There is at least 759 pages to this book.... So, to say the least I did more reading than sewing...Oh well....This is a book that my sister had....She would laugh at me because my nose would be in the book allot of the time..:)
Debbie working on Snowball Quilt
Here is two pictures of my sister (Debbie) working on her Snowball Quilt... She cut out all her fabric, and now she is sewing the squares together.... She works on this quilt when she has a few minutes, or on the weekend when nothing is planned....So, she will be working on this quilt for a while because she works full time and it does not leave much time to sew... but, I will say she is doing a great job.... :)
