It grew!

These are some of my finds from our trip.

This little dresser is what I seen on the first trip to Fat Quarters and thought about all week. I just see it filled with fat quarters or thread or patterns or......................

And the top lifts! Way cool and was a song! We did have to wrap it up tight is trash bags as it was raining pretty good and we still had a good 300 miles to go to get back home. Was very sweet of DH to get it for me, and not once did he ask where am I going to put it!


This was a panel that was just too cute to pass up.

And here are some beautiful flannels, I have two quilts planned with them and hope to get started real soon.

The fun in these is that in the bathroom of the quilt shop they had sale items, the towers were 50% off, there were many other temptations but since this was my out of the box purchase I stayed with it!

Then these finds were from the other shop, A Country Loft if my memory holds, could go and check from the previous post but am feeling a little lazy at the moment! The bottom black is homespun, don't see it in my parts so grabbed 5 yards worth.

And we were not untouched by the snow storm this past week, it is still quite heavy out and the thing we are dealing with now is the ice. The pic is from an orchard a couple miles from us, just was really pretty when we were driving by.

Pure Taunting!

Nightly was an all you can eat Sushi Bar! To say Scottie loves loves loves Sushi would be an understatement!




So Donnie had to show him a little of what he enjoyed!


Feel the Love Bro!

William peeking to be sure I am still there watching his every move!

William and Donnie trying to catch some heat as the clouds were blocking out the sun! We couldn't have asked for better weather, the daily averages even out at sea was 85. Outstanding!!

Were Back!

What an amazing time we had, there are quite a few pictures taken and each from a total different perspective!

This is one of my favorites! We stopped at this shop Fat Quarter's and it was just eye candy overload!





I did purchase a couple things but I will save those for another time, need to get the camera back in order and get shots of what I found. We also made it to Rosie's Calico Cupboard and I was amazed at how much the shop has expanded, it has been at least 10 years since being there but still! It was rather over whelming and since I didn't have anything in particular material wise I did find 2 rulers in sizes that I needed.
Down a few door's from Rosie's was yet another overwhelming shop! The Quilted Rose, my Sis-in-Law purchased a Gammil Longarm from them so had to pop in and see what else they had and I was just blown away by all the thread and pantos that they had! Again I was very frugal in my purchasing, I really wanted a leaf panto and found 2 different kinds with the aid from Dh and the Kids.
It felt great to not splurge shop as it would have been so easy to do in all these shops! These stops were made prior to the cruise and once we were back we decided to stop at another shop that Fat Quarters heartily recommended, it was The Country Loft and again it was eye candy overload! What was so unique about the two mentioned is they are solely primitive/civil war types of fabrics, so I had to chuckle when my Dad asked if they had any Orientals or Batiks!!
I failed to have the camera ready to get any pictures though, in fact I don't think the camera was in my possession at the time anyway. We did stop back by Fat Quarters as there was one little thing that captured my heart and Dh was very kind to get it for me as a late anniversary present! He is such a great sport and that just made the week all that more special for me!
