My long time quilting buddy and I went for a drive to Cedarburg and our favorite quilt shops. We bought each other a lunch as presents for both our birthdays. We have been friends so long.
So besides the company, we had a great time at Ye Olde Schoolhouse. It has lots of stitchery and wool as well as a great assortment of reproduction fabrics. Oh, the inspiration! I only bought some yardage to fill in some holes in the stash. I need to start my half square triangles into something.
But then we also found the new location for My Material Matters. And I fell for some Tilda fabrics as a gift to myself. The fabrics are made in Norway and they have an awesome feel to them.
I found a pattern from Coriander Quilts and made my first block:
Christmas sewing started:
Last year I deocorated 2 stockings for my daughter and her beau.
This year I made 2 little ones for their pets to go along with them.
Knitted stockings from Target , trim and wool embroidery added.
And for in front of the tv at night, I have a new cross stitch:
It is a Primrose cottage pattern:
My progress so far:
No quilts this year for Christmas and that is ok.
