A Lovely Weekend

Saturday was the Crystal Coast Quilt Show............... I called Rebekah to see if she and Robert wanted to go......... Happily the answer was yes.........

They live an hour and a half away and the quilt show venue is an hour and a half from here.

They got here about 10:30 AM and we headed off to Morehead City. As it approached noon Robert asked about lunch............ We stopped at Crabby Patty's and the food was excellent.....


This was my favorite at the show........ I can't imagine that much work in one piece but it is so charming........



This was Robert's favorite quilt............



Great job of quilting and a unique border.



Of course we always go to the shows to shop........ I found a few things that I had wanted and a few patterns that I did not even know I wanted..........

Rebekah and Robert bought a pair of dressmaker shears for me....... Gingher no less and they are spring action so they are less tiring to use. I cut a few things with them yesterday and they are lovely to use........


I did get all the pieces cut out for Strawberry Fields and now have them beside my machine all ready for the next leader/ender project............

I got one quilt top pressed and the backing sewn together and pressed. I started on the second top but ran out of spray sizing....... Today is a shopping day so I can pick that up while we are out.

I also got more of the Baby Quilt marked and ready to quilt and the fabric cut for the last of the Hexagons for my dresser scarf............ Lots of bits and pieces being done in several places. One day soon I will actually be finishing things.........Imagine that.........
