Hubby and I are just back from a few days away. We had a wonderful escape to our favourite Niagara Falls and Canada's answer to Napa, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Three vineyard visits with wine tasting gave us the opportunity to stock our cellar (ok, cupboard shelf) and the "prettiest little town" offered up some quaint shops, a couple of bakeries, a beautiful hotel, a long scenic hike, and gorgeous flowers. The view of falls during dinner wasn't bad either. I also had a quick stop at a Coach outlet where I nabbed a cross-body purse that's a little dressier than my Vera Bradley.
I am feeling refreshed from a couple nights out of the sewing room and am ready to tackle my Swoon quilt. I basted it in my mother's basement where I set up 4 folding tables (I had to buy another one). This is one of my largest quilts and I couldn't use my garage to spray baste. It went fairly well but took me a little longer than usual and I found the thin backing fabric very wrinkly! I was able to get a shot of the whole quilt on her floor so now you can see how the Swoon blocks ended up together. I'm going to check out the flickr Swoon-along group to get ideas and inspiration for quilting.
Once again, while I was out of town, Craftsy released a new class! I was so excited to see Angela Walters back at the machine in Machine Quilting: Small Changes, Big Variety. What an amazing class this is! Luckily, hubby wanted to watch some baseball so I could watch Angela on my ipad. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!
I have the matching wallet to your purse! :) I have a small Coach crossbody purse, too, but it's black on black fabric.
