Home Again…

Home again..jiggity jig! 

We got home last night, tired but very happy!  It’s wonderful to go away on a holiday but man, it feels good to be HOME!!

The tulips and daffodils are blooming and all the trees are flowering… and the green is hurting my eyes…what a lovely welcoming!

But enough about THAT…you have been waiting patiently for the rest of the Pioneer Quilting Shops’ pictures!

Well wait no more!

And of course I had to end with this quilt…I bought the pattern last year…I need a little reminder (and a wee kick in the keester) to get ‘er out and get ‘er done!

So ends our little West Coast Shop Hop…hope you had as much fun as I did….Nahhhh…just NOT possible!

Well…it’s Christmas morning here on our little hill over-looking Satellite Sound…yup, I get the PLEASURE of unloading the 5th wheel!!  (insert HAPPY DANCE!!) I wonder what Santa has stored for me under the couch, in the closets, up in the cupboards and in ‘that’ basement!!  Who can remember….??  And it is FINALLY light enough outside for me to start unwrapping!! haha

Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. Welcome home Paulette! This mornings post was sweet candy for my eyes and quilter's soul! Stunning, visual delights! Thanks for that. What is it about baskets? Do you know? I mean there were soooo many lovely quilts and then came the baskets and my heart skipped a beat. Don't know what it is but the shape never fails to please. On Saturday you will see some started basket squares. Have a good christmas.

  4. OMG, I want to go to that quilt shop. Loved all the store samples, especially the large baskets quilt. So many cute Christmas ornaments. Is the candle mat with the pumpkins hand button-hole stitched or machine? I think this one would be so sweet at Thanksgiving.
    I know you're going to have a wonderful day going through the 5th wheel, not so much the putting away.
    Welcome home, sorry the sun isn't shining, but as you can see, spring has sprung!

  6. I'm glad you made it back home safe and sound. I know what you mean about vacations being fun but how nice it is to get home. I love all these pictures, but I especially love the picture of that Cheri pattern, Sweet Land of Liberty. I have that started and dang it every time I see it on a blog I want to haul it out and work on it!
