and here's Gale to the rescue... what a sight!

 

Wondering who's enjoying it most!!! LOL

Never a dull moment with the Ladies :-)

On Saturday morning, some of us made a trip to Quilt Haus.

After lunch, we had show and tell.

 Everyone who spent $50 or more got a free pattern.

I got 2 rolls of Kaffe Fassett fabric, some teapot fabric to make a tea bag, 

a new ripping tool and some pins.

 Barb got some quilt clips, great fabric from the clearance aisle, 

and some nets that cover thread cones.

Gale got a spool of black thread via Sheila

Sheila got this kitty panel for Ashley and a solar system panel for Carson

Donna found this bass panel for J.B. and some fun buttons

 Plus more fabric, and some magic tape for appliqué

Joan found this cool truck panel and some wildflower FQs

Joan also showed us a fleece piece her daughter gave her... yummy doughnuts!

 Talking about food, Donna brought back some chocolates from London...

Always a good idea! We love you, Donna!

 She put her buttons on her T-shirt

 Donna made Green Stuff... did I tell you we love you??

Another box of chocolates: tiny bottles filled with liqueur!

Gale is smoking a cookie

and made kaleidoscope blocks!

Debbie was working on her Friends & Neighbors Saturday Sensation from a while back.

No neighbors in this quilt :-)

Happy Hour!
