Overflowing with quilts and tote bags!

Like our local dam I am overflowing.

With the quilt shop closing last Saturday, I had to gather up sample quilts and bags that had been on display at the shop. I had my trunk and back seat full when I came home that day.
So I will share with you a few of the quilts and bags I brought home.































And this is just a few of all the quilts.
I am off to visit my kids and grandkids in Portland I will be gone for a least 10 days. I will need to decide when I get home what to do with all of these.

Happy Quilting!

Favorite Things

Cindy at My Romantic Home has ask to see our favorite things.



I have a few but this is my very favorite, this Seth Thomas Clock that belonged to my Dad. It has seen some rough times, but it still works, if I remember to wind it.


Pop over to Cindys' and show her your favorite thing.

2 more days then I can retire again

Yes only two more days then I can retire Again.




The quilt shop will be closing the doors Saturday the 26th. The last 2 weeks have been non stop measuring and cutting fabric. Do I sound like I am complaining?
Sorry don't mean to complain, I am just tired, I am not use to working a 40 hour week, but it will soon be over.
I don't think I have ever had a part time job in my life that didn't turn into a full time job.
However the extra $ will be nice.

I have 2 trips planned, one in August and one in Sept.

I am going to Portland for 10 days to visit my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, in August.
I also hope to get some time to spend with a couple of my quilting buddies that live in the Columbia River Gorge.

Then in Sept. I am going to a class reunion in Priest River Idaho. It is not my reunion but my older brothers. I have only been back to Priest River once in 50 years, for a short visit, but I remember living there like it was yesterday.

I will fly to Spokane where my brother will pick me up, he will be coming from western Wa. Then he will be bringing me home on his way to Reno.
He has an extended trip planned.

After that I will be home for the winter.

Happy Quilting!

Busy Busy Busy.

I have been very busy this summer, no, I am not complaining. I enjoy having plenty to do.
The past two weeks I have been helping Mary at the store, with the 40% off sale, wow it is all we can do to keep up.

Our customers are spending anywhere from $100. to $500. at a time. They know these are bargain basement prices that will not happen again.

We have sold a lot of fabric, but still have a lot more to go. She will be closing the store next Saturday July 26. Then she is then leaving on a much needed vacation to the coast for a week.

I am leaving the first week in August to spend a week in Portland with my kids. When we both get back and rest up from our vacations, we will be having a final 3 day sale to discount even more, the remaining stock. We are thinking probably the 13 thru the 16th of August will be the final big sale.

Mary is detirmined not to take any more home, but I can't resist, so I will be carting more home. So I have been clearing out some of my stash to make room for more.
I have had very little time to sew this summer, so I do not have any new projects to share. But I will soon, with the end of summer comes more idle time.

Today is a day of rest for me, so I have time to catch up on my blog reading.

Happy Quilting!
