Sales…SALES! S-A-L-E-S!!!!!

Have you SEEN the Sales that are being offered over at GREEN FAIRY QUILTS??  They always have good buys BUT right now they have SALES AND FREE SHIPPING!!!  Be still my heart!! 

And Calico Horse in Redlands (about a 35 minute drive from HERE) is having a SALE today!!  How do you American Quilters manage to stay out of the POOR HOUSE?  If I lived down here permanently I would definitely have to get a job…maybe in a Quilting Shop…hmmm…food for thought!!

This week’s Quilting in the Clubhouse…

Look what Gwen made out of green yoyos, a Styrofoam cone, buttons, beads and a candle holder!  Adorable and the perfect size for a trailer!

Deb continues to work on her Crazy Eights Quilt…lots of “ohhhh…ahhhh” coming from the Peanut Gallery!  She is starting to form the rows…it should be a quilt by the end of the day!!  I love the way Deb brings this flannel backed tablecloth…she can just roll it up and take it with her whenever she feels like it …without fear of loosing pieces and everything stays as is!!  Got to get me one!!  Think of the time this would save…just unroll and sew!

  2. Hi Paulette,
    I was on the Green Fairy website before I checked your blog. I ordered a couple of charm paks to do the little twister. What size was your twister tool? I have to buy one of those yet. I'm still going to do one in the Primitive Gatherings material when it comes out. What a cute Xmas tree with the yoyos. Let your imagination run with it. Have a great day. Living vicariously through you. hahaha
