Still Visiting.

It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday.  The last part of last week we were trying to figure out what was wrong with my brother in law. Thanks for all the prayers for Nick. I've never felt so sorry for him like I did this past week. He was in some awful pain and we had no idea what it was from.  Turned out to be a big kidney stone that he could not pass. So he had surgery to remove it which in turn caused even more pain for him.  He's doing well now and the whole family plus my Boo are in Florida on a much needed vacation.  

I have to show you these dishes Nancy and I found when she was here.  I of course bought the RED ones.  We have a store here in Missouri called Gordman's.  They were cheap, cheap, cheap.  

We stopped at a fruit/vegetable stand.  Nancy had to get a peach. I guess they don't have them in Ca.  :)

After more shopping we headed home for some sewing.  

I made a few pillow cases.  I love the Sew Cherry fabric by Lori Holt. I made the two with Cherry's for my king sized pillows.  

While we were sewing this giant thing landed on the sliding doors.  It was the biggest moth I have ever seen.  It stayed there all night long. 

Here's some of the things we made while Nancy was visiting. The three little quilts that are alike are for me, Beth and Nancy.  I did the blocks and Nancy did the mitered corners. We made a lot of other tops too but not sure if I got a picture of them.   

Miss Madeline loving her some attention.  She loved hanging out with the girls.  

Another shopping break. This is a cute shop called Three French Hens.  It's real close to my house so we ran down there so I could show Nancy. I love this shop.

Let's go inside. I'd love to have these doors on my house.

Time to go back to sewing again. How about a snack first??  We had to have a snack table. That was a must.   

More of what we were working on.

I made this from Elizabeth of Late Bloomer's pattern.  I still need to add the borders. 

Loved this so I had to make one.  Nancy made one too.  It's a mini.  Really mini. Those were some small triangles.  

We made this,  three of them.  This is a kit on the website.  It's so fast and easy to make.  

She's digging for some fabric so we can make this cute little thing from the new Primitive magazine. 

I think she's finding something good.  Maybe I could fold the fabric then it would be easier?   Oh why do that? She's enjoying the search.  

This is what we made.  Beth your kit is on the way to you.  I still need to add borders to mine. I think Nancy has already added hers and done her stitching. Me, not so much.  But they are cute aren't they?  

The last two days have been so much cooler here thank goodness. I am so sick of the heat.  Does this mean maybe Fall is coming soon??  Please tell me yes.  Humor me.  

Next, I'll show you what I got at the antique shop when we went antiquing.  Got some good things.  

Thanks for stopping by!!

Love those dot dishes! I would have bought a set in each color because I would not be able to chose just one. You guys were sewing fiends! Quick! I would still be working on top #1. I'm a sloooowwwww piecer.

You both must have been sewing all night long to accomplish so much. It must have been all the treats that kept you awake. The little fall wallhanging is adorable, I saw that one in the magazine. I'm glad you both had a great time.

You have some of the best shops by you...i'm so jealous! Love the red polka dishes, the mini's and love, love, love how you have your fabric stored. If I get a room big enough sometime i'll copy you :)

I love coming to Daisy Cottage to sew with my BFF. Tell Madeline I miss her and sneak her a treat. She likes that. And yes we have peaches in California. I just wanted to see if the ones in Missouri tasted any different.
