Three Trips to the Fabric Store

I've been very busy this week. My list of things to do has gotten a lot smaller. The car is all taken care of. I still have to get the oil changed, but will do that tomorrow on my way to the state fair. Yes, I will bring lots of pictures back to share with you. I got lots of quilting done this week. That is, I got it done after three trips to the quilt shop. I had to get fabric for 3 different projects. Seems that I need to have something always in the works.

Grasshoper and Cheddar Cheese

Don't you just love when something is almost done and you look at it and think to yourself what you would have done differently? This week I plan to get the car fixed. I need to get a new rim thanks to the Missouri roads and their damn pot holes and a front end alignment. Clean out the gutters at my parents and going to the Missouri State Fair. I will get lots of pictures for you. It's off to work on my quilts.
