A Busy Day

I am on vacation this week and enjoying being away

from my job. 

Today it was 60 degrees outside and I decided to do lots of shopping.

I really don't care for shopping anymore but I really, really wanted

a few things. I went to Target to return a blanket, so expensive anymore!

Then to Kohl's to buy me another silver necklace. My annual gift to myself!

:)

I picked up a couple of things for Joe and a necklace for Liz.

Then I went to the Hallmark store to see if they had any more ornaments.

I always wait to get them and then I'm disappointed when they run out of the one's I want.

Next year I promise to do better!

I picked other items for Christmas presents though.

Then off to JoAnn's, I was going to go to Hobby Lobby but I was already

getting a little tired of shopping.

I found some backings for a few quilts I had finished years ago.

Pumpkins and black crows

Another pink baby quilt with filmstrip border this time.

I love pink baby quilts!

This is a quilt that I made and then when I dug it out I undid

the setting and ended up with two quilts. The other one has a

teal background,  more on this in a future post.

I didn't find anything at JoAnn's for this quilt so I decided to stop 

at Mara's to see what they had.

I settled for this since I really want to finish this up.

I may make some star blocks for the back.

And I got a backing for my Cherry Basket quilt. I just got 

a neutral fabric with squiggles.

It is a nice background and may order some more.

After visiting Mara's quilt shop I decided to finish up the day at

Sweetberry's  market to get some fruit. 

Then home to unload all my stuff!

Later I worked on the binding for the I Spy quilt.

I really really love the polka dot fabric on the back of this!

I would love to have a whole bolt of this!

All in all a very busy day!

Tomorrow I'm going nowhere!
