Friday night sew-in!

 My DH and I went to a Lyle Lovett concert last night in North Charleston, SC. We stayed over night and really enjoyed Lyle and his Large band.
I started the Friday night sew-in by printing out Bonnie Hunter's first clue and sewing some of the pinks and greens from my scrap bag together. I'm not sure if I am going to like these, but I was able to get 100 units made.
Next I worked on my Lisa's garden BOM. I was able to make the first two sets of nine patches. Since we are leaving tomorrow for our trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving, I will have to do the eight wool applique blocks when I get back home.
See you all when I get back on Sunday November 28th.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Quilt top done!

My tree blocks are now all sewn together, I think that for a cuddly lap throw I need to find some red minke. So this one will not get finished until next year.
 It's a "Pieces of my Heart Pattern" by 
Sandy Gervais called Tree's up! Lights on!
Thanks for stopping by, Marj

A stop at the Antique Shop yielded a couple of good finds for me. The first was this gold bowl that replaces one that I had for years. The old one was recently broken and I missed it dearly. I looked and looked for a new one to replace it but could not find a current bowl that was the same size. So yesterday while Downtown I decided to take a look in the Antique Shop. Now I have an exact replacement, yea!
 For good measure I also picked up this white one. They were a bargain as I got both for less than $20. 
Hope that you are having a fun and productive week.
