Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for Cammy. She seems to be back to her old self. I am praying it remains that way and we don't have cycles of this issue.
It has been a beautifully sunny day today. It was much needed!! Today, I packed up all my supplies and headed off to teach hand quilting at Acorn Quilt Shop.
Sadly, Acorn is closing the end of May, so this was my last class. I have been teaching there for 4 years now, since she first opened the shop. She is closing the doors for a month and then reopening as a vintage shop. I will sure miss my trips to that shop.
I am blessed to live in a city that has several quilt shops, though none 1/2 a mile from my house! ;) I heard of a new one I did not know about today, so on Tuesday, I will be headed that way. I hear they have lots of Civil War repos...my absolute favorite kinds of fabrics!
I didn't leave empty handed today. I got several yards of fabric, and a new rotary cutter.
My rotary cutter is about 15 years old, and as I am cutting with it, the whole thing falls apart!! Not a good thing. I bought the exact same kind, cause I think 15 years is a long life.
I spent yesterday basting my Simply Charming mini and the baby quilt. I love the backing for this cute little boy quilt.
I also have this pile of "stuff" next to my chair. My calendar, bill folder, and all the score keys for Charlotte's school books sit in a pile that ends up looking unsightly. I found this wonderful wooden box downstairs. I use to fill it with pine cones and set it on the fireplace.
Everything nice and neat! As you can see, my Simply Charming book arrived yesterday! Oh the wonderful quilts in that book! It will be difficult to choose which one to make next!
Looking forward to a very productive week. I hope the same for you!

Never made it to that shop. Went by it a couple times. Sorry to see another one closing. Maybe this new one will be to your liking. Chris
Bren, I am so happy that Cammy is back to her old self. I know that is a relief to you. Sorry to hear about Acorn Quilts closing. I know you enjoyed teaching there. At least you have other quilt shops to visit. LOL My closest quilt shop is about 45 miles away. I really want to visit it some day, though. It is Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton, MO. Some day, I am going to disappear and I will be having the time of my life feeling fabric. LOL Have a great evening.
I'm so happy that Cammy is feeling better!! It's always sad to see a favorite quilt shop close. The internet certainly has hurt the brick and mortar shops :0(
