Blah Blah Blah~

This quilt is HUGE! It is folded in thirds to make it easier to get a shot at. It can be hard to pick a design when there is so much open space and the customer only wants an overall for the quilting.

And the stark color difference can also be a little challenging, makes me want to take a trip to St. George and visit Superior Threads and hand pick some colors! I have the thread cards but after getting to see the thread in person at Market it made such a difference when it comes to choosing. Since not being prepared to buy and only having 15 minutes before closing I did manage to pull 6 spools of So Fine and 4 spools from their new silk line!

She was totally thrilled with the design she picked, and although I would have chosen something totally different, it is beautiful! It's a gift for her daughter and she is going to love it!

Can you guess what his mouth is full of? Dumplings! Susan asked if we were having company to have made so many! Nope, just us! It can get kind of scary when you actually stop and think about what all has to be made to fill 8 bellies, 5 boys who are no longer boys but young men and this one is 6'3 and the rest not far behind! Let's see in one sitting for just the boy's and Dad, 21 dumplings were consumed! That doesn't include the piddly 4 between us girls and even then we didn't finish our plate!

But in truth, for me, it's all about the day or two after when they get sliced thin and fried in butter, then topped with sauerkraut.................yummmm!! And I was the first to "Call" the last 2! They will be plain, though, all the other fixings are long gone!

These are just some fun pincushions that Sandy P. makes for the Shop, way too cute! Court snagged one that has money printed fabric that caused quite a stir and she just happened to be in the right spot when Sandy came in with all her new pickings. Want to know what gets me? I remember seeing it, I remember writing it down on my ticket to buy it, and clearly remember signing the receipt to continue earning those reward points! Watched it go into the bag with a couple other minor purchases, but have not seen it since!! And to top it off, she has it tucked away somewhere where I can' t find it, just not right!
