Monday, Monday....

It's Monday! I was supposed to go to a meeting of the Tri-County Quilt Merchants' Association today in Stanwood. It was to be a salad potluck dinner, so I made my large bowl of Tortellini Salad to take. And...I had possession of the convertible, in hopes of sunshine! But, guess too many of the members couldn't attend, so it was cancelled. I put the top down on the way home from the shop - less than a mile - it was nice, but not quite the same as cruising down I-5. Can you guess what John and I had for dinner? Oh well, it was Monday, after all.

But, today we got fabric! The new Benartex's "Twelve Days of Christmas" from Nancy Halvorsen. It has a very cute panel and 7 or 8 coordinates. And from Moda, there was a great "girlie" fabric from the Simplicity line. It's kind of an aqua color with ruffles, pin tucks and ric rac! And I worked on making a Shop Hop block for the store and trying to figure out the best cutting strategy for all of those Shop Hop block kits we need to make in the next month!

Harriet came in for a while this afternoon. She was going to close tonight so I could go to the meeting, but came anyway. And look what she brought with her! How darling is this apron made from the "Little Retro Aprons for Kids" book by Cindy Taylor-Oates? She says she needs to make more for her granddaughters! We played with more combinations for some of the different patterns in the book. She put together some pillowcase kits too. She has a special way of folding them that none of us seem to be able to duplicate!

So, that was my Monday. Tomorrow, Jan will be back on the job and we'll be playing with fabric and planning our monthly Tea Party for Wednesday! I get to use the new spoons I got for my birthday - I'm excited. If you're not busy, pop in for some scones and laughs! Tomorrow, pictures of little girl skirts made from the new "Quilts and More" magazine. Who has more fun than we do?!?
