What I worked on this weekend

My husband and son went to work on their deer lease so I had all day Saturday to play. I just love those days. Bought hamburger meat to grill for when they got home, so I didn't even have to stay in the kitchen. Yea!!!

Sewing room here I come. I needed some little gift bags for a couple of friends and thought since fall is in the air, the embroidery design would work on some weaver cloth I had.

Another baby quilt with Texture Magic. One of the shops I visited, had lots of quilting fabric but no one to make a sample for the product. So I volunteered. I will think twice next time on this offering. But I know it will help them sell the product. Very easy, but I need more time.

This is a sneak peek of a pattern I've made. Hope to have it up on Etsy soon. It's finished, just have to learn how to do a PDF file.

I know I didn't post pictures of our guild meeting and there is a reason for it. I was in the show and tell line and forgot all about taking pictures of all the other quilts. I'm bad...

I've been away having FUN!

I've been on the road visiting my son in Houston and going to Fabric and Quilt Shops showing them the new product Texture Magic. They are so thrilled seeing something new to add to their lines and seeing us girls (quilters and sewers) minds start rolling with new projects and where all they can put it. If they want to see it where customers are, they start gathering around and just keep feeling it.



Off to Quilt Guild and I'll be back with photo's tonight.

I just love blogland. I have met some great and talented people and having a giveaway like this has introduced me to new blogs that I added to my list. Projects and new ideas all over the place out there.

One of the talented girls is Belinda over at, http://browndirtcottage.blogspot.com/ . If you haven't visited her blog you need to hop on over and see what all she works on. She had a little surprise giveaway and I won. Yippee, (Is that a word?) here in Texas it is. Some of the cutest pieces of Halloween fabric and rick-rack. Can't wait to make something with it. I opened it so fast I forgot to take a picture of it all wrapped up and tied with rick-rack. Thank you so much Belinda.

I had to take a picture of my new wheels. When we get a car or a truck we drive it till it dies. Well you all know my car died and this is my pride and joy. Mr. DH insisted it have a navigation on it so I want get lost on my new adventure. Pretty soon you probably want have to keep your hands on the steering wheel, just punch in where you want to go.

Thank you all who entered the giveaway, wish I had something for everyone. I'll be thinking of what to do for the next one. I sure like the way Belinda does her giveaways.
