Day Three and Last Day

Boy, can't believe that this was the last day, I was just getting into the hang of it. Had a very nice room and comfy bed so being ready by 7 am was easy today. We have 3 shops today and then back to Sager Creek. Our first stop was the Quilt Sampler in Springfield, Missouri. Yes, it is owned by the same person as the one in Tulsa, Oklahoma and this time I did get pictures.


This  I believe is Newman, their shop dog. Pam and Cliff at Sager Creek have a shop dog too. I get pictures of Bentley to post.

Love this Log Cabin variation by Kaye England

My friend Linda H. is making this quilt, really sweet one.

They have a big shop, so their displays were very photogenic.

This shop is the only one we visited that had such a large selection of quilting stencils.

Now we are on to our next stop and lunch at Block by Block in Carthage, Missouri. The color of the fall foliage was just starting to turn but at the courthouse square in downtown Carthage it was lovely.




 This one is on the someday list.

 They had a nice selection of samples with space to take some really nice shots.

Now it's on to our last shop and a really nice shop in a old downtown location, it is The Rabbit Liar in Rogers, Arkansas.


Mary is the shop owner and in Halloween costume.

I took quite a few shots of the inside but mine did not turn out well enough to show. I'll have to go back and take new ones to show here someday.

Have a picture to share that I had taken in Higginsville's shop where Wanda was signing something and her friend Sandy wanted me to get a comic shot of her hinny but what really made the shot funny was Sandy's expression. What do you think?



A wave GOOD-BYE

Hopefully till next time ladies, I really enjoy meeting and getting to know them all. It is right that quilters are fun, friendly, kind and just down right good people.

Till next time
Kat

    That looked like a great shop hop. Did you come home with lots of goodies? I love the log cabin that looks like clam shells, too. What a fun quilt that would be to make.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
