Tuesday already?

Had a great time at my family reunion Sunday. Saw some folks I hadn't seen in a long time. Then my daughters came over for Father's Day that evening.

Monday I went Quilt shopping with friends to Country Traditions in Fremont NE. It is a very nice store and I had such good luck. I have been wanting to get some of the Paper Dolls fabric since I saw it in a magazine and they had some. I also knew that my sister wanted some too, so got on the phone and called her. My cousin who was staying with her for the reunion wanted some too.....so I got some for all of us! lol Isn't it cute? I have many great memories of playing paper dolls with my sisters.
Mama Kitty is wondering...what, no kitties?
I also got these yesterday too. They were on sale! You wouldn't want me to pass up a good sale, now would you? OK...no more shopping til I get some more quilts finished!
I have been working on a baby quilt for another great niece...this one isn't born yet, so I am still on schedule. I quilted my SIL's quilt this morning too. Now to get it bound. *big sigh*

Jean's Stimulus Plan & quilting

I decided to do my civic duty yesterday and help keep my local quilt shops in business. I went shopping with my SIL at Seams to Be Quilt Shoppe in Plattsmouth, Ne. and was on the search for batiks as I used a lot of mine on the curvy pieced quilt. I managed to find some on sale too, so even better. I found a couple dotty fabrics too...for my collection. We love this shop as they always have new fabrics, sale fabrics and friendly people.
Today I am quilting. I quilted this baby quilt for my SIL...she made the quilt as a gift for a friend. I think the curlie-qs go well with the simple pattern. Hope she likes it too!

Now on to work on something I started yesterday. I have taught a quilt with tessellating blocks, but used a background color between the blocks. So have wanted to try interlocking the colors. I will post a pic later...hopefully when it is done.
