QUILTERS BOUTIQUE….

It has been awhile….

Since I have been able to post here…due mostly to health issues…that now is on the mend I am happy to say…last couple weeks I was feeling good enough to work on my GGD rag quilt…was able to get it done and sent…they all love it…her Nana my daughter…wrapped her up  in it and sent me this pic…about 6 mon. old here…the quilt is big enough for them to put on the floor and play…that’s what she wanted it for…

Last Friday I was out and about and stopped at this quilt shop…I was here a couple times before I went north last spring…they were in the process of enlarging by knocking a wall out between them and a store beside them… well it is done enough that they move over…

A bunch of fat quarters…very colorful table…so many designs to chose from…many more than the big chain stores…

They must have moved not to long ago..they don’t have much set up yet …here is one quilt that was hanging on the wall…they have a lot of wall space to use up…

Another one hanging …I loved this one…click on it to enlarge and look at all the cute sea life…I especially liked the outer trim …I was wanting to buy a yard but they had used it all up making kits to make this quilt…I am not good enough to spend $50 on a kit yet..

Below is a vignette using an antique sewing machine…I learned to sew on my grandmothers sewing machine just like this one…I remember making projects when I was in 4-H…wow was that a long time ago…I wonder if there still is a 4-H…some pretty quilted place matts adorn the antique…

And here is a pic of the old part of the store…looks like they are going to enlarge the class room…these ladies told me that besides the classes they hold…every Friday they let you come and sew & visit with others …at no charge…I hope I can sit and join this sometime…soon…
