Last Monday, 27 guild members piled into several cars, and we took a road trip to 7 quilt shops in Lancaster County, PA. Several of them were new to me, and I don't think I left any shop empty handed.

| A pattern for some of my leftover Kansas Troubles fabrics! |
This beautiful postcard arrived in the mail from Fiona. It is the palest of pink, and so beautiful.
I continue to make progress on my stitching project for Gifted Gorgeousness.
We've been watching the Olympics each evening, so there has been a lot of hand stitching happening. I finished this cross stitch that was started a few years ago. Working to finish those UFO's.
What else? Scraps and gifted orphan blocks. But I need to save something for the next post.
Be kind, always.......Sunny
Nice goodies and pretty cross stitch!! I find that whenever I visit a new to me shop something always follows me home! happy stitching!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun road trip! And you picked up a few pretties along the way. I did one postcard swap with Sheila and DID make a new friend. XO
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Sunny, I would love to go on a shop hop but there are only a few quilts shops in my area. Your goodies are great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip, you'll make some beautiful things with those. I've watched a lot of Olympics too, I get so engrossed I forget to stitch though!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun that would have been to visit all those quilt shops!! Lovely collection of goodies.
ReplyDeleteLovely work on your stitcheries. I agree, watching the Olympics has been a great time for stitching.

ReplyDeleteOh very lovely buys there Sunny.
ReplyDeleteHaven't the Olympics been great?! watching all those athletes makes me feel so lazy & unambitious! Silly boy Lochte might have medalled, but he certainly hasn't made himself popular with his antics.
I've never made a postcard, I should give it a go one day, & maybe even join that swap... Fiona's card to you is so lovely, enjoy!
and is that a hibiscus I spy ?!
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky girl - how fun and what great purchases! I love your postcard from Fiona, and all your hand stitching - I've been doing that too, while watching the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics for the Gail Pan project. Sitting, stitching and watching the Olympics is the best! That's the prettiest ABC's in red. Good job!
