Holly Shop Hop


 Yesterday I drove to the Hen House in Charlotte, then to Mo's in Portland, then to Savasana, Smith-Owen, and Attic Window all in NE Grand Rapids.

Then it was down to Dragonfly in Plainwell, Sew Fabulous in Portage and finally Quilt N Go south of Battle Creek.

I got the fabrics pictured above at Quilt N Go, except for the darkest, which I found at Country Stitches this morning.

The Holly Shop Hop continues through Saturday, so go take advantage of the 15% off and get your name in for the drawing at each shop.

An Adventure in Western Ohio

Image
 On the morning of Friday, December 8, I drove up to pick up Rebecca.  Waving goodbye to Todd in the driveway, we set off toward Ohio. The day before I had done some research online to pick out the shops to stop at.  After checking for photos to verify that they were physical shops, I came up with a list of ten. #1 was Freedom Bound Quilt Shop, in Wauseon, which was having a 50% of everything except sewing machines.  If you are near NW Ohio, they are doing this all of December, so go! #2, The Quilterie, in Celina, is on Main St.  At their recommendation we had lunch across the street at the Anchor and yes, the mushroom swiss burger was very good. #3 on the list was Little House of Stitches, but when Rebecca called to ask a question, she found out they are online only.  So on to the next. #4 was Cotton Junky.  We headed to Tipp City but didn't arrive in time for the posted 4pm closing.  We did find Tippecanoe and Weavers Too where Rebecca got some nice roving for her beret project.

Family Quilts

Image
  At the Monday guild meeting of Cal-Co Quilt Guild I gave the presentation for Member Spotlight.  I had 27 family quilts to show.  Thanks to my helpers who took pictures, handled the quilts and helped pack my car at the end. This was given to me by Mama Lindley (Bertha) in 1979. The quilts following are made by my Mom (Joan) and my MIL (Sue) My mom provided 14 of the 9-blocks.  My Aunt Phyllis provided the sashing fabrics. My Mom's last top, Marilyn Garrison did the quilting and I did the binding. My Mom had 13 of the blocks done.  I did the rest. Below are two of her bags.
