these sweet little pillows… and

I love this wool felt presents runner! 

Hurry to your news stands today!  It’s a good thing….

On the quilting front….nothing! I have been so busy with my family and getting ready to Snowbird South for the winter that I have not picked up a needle in a week…it feels MUCH longer…My daughters and son-in-law left yesterday at 5:30a.m. as they wanted to catch the first ferry (living on an island definitely has it’s drawbacks…).  I was too busy to get that ‘empty nest’ feeling that I often get when they all leave at once. 

Speaking of leaving….today is the big day…we have the 5th wheel loaded (my husband hasn’t looked under the bed storage area YET…as this is where I have put all the good stuff…like fabric, sewing machine, patterns, books and rulers…etc. etc. etc.  I’m sure you all know what I mean…:o)  In the cab of the truck I have put three totes…one has my different coloured threads and the other two have projects to keep me busy….so that I won’t notice when those giant trucks pull along side us..and there’s only 2 inches between our mirrors…I see none of this…if I am busy stitching!  So stitch I will…and I won’t look up till we get there!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!
