I also am working on a quilt for a lady's 90th birthday..She wants a lap robe and she is pretty tiny so I am making a baby size yellow brick road and instead of using batting, I am going to put aqua colored minkee on the back...I have never done it before, but I think it will be nice and warm and snuggly for her..I am all about the snuggles
Today we went to Sandy Utah and I went to a couple of quilt stores...I had all kinds of fun and got all kinds of ideas...Didn't buy too much though, afraid to start anything else at the moment! On the way back, I saw a Home Fabric store and we decided to stop..We have been looking at fabric to recover the sofa and the dinette benches in the little trailer...With the cost of home dec fabric, we were thinking about 200.00. I was shocked and so happy when we went in this store! They had all the same beautiful fabrics but the top price was 9.00 a yard. I about fell over...I found the most incredible sale area and I got 7 yards of 54" home dec fabric for 21.00....holy crap! I even got fancy cording to use like welting around the edges for 1.00 a yard...They also have free classes that I would love to take. I will go back to that store for sure. It makes it worth it too sew....
I also wanted to let you know that Thomas has accepted little Joe Bobbin now...He tried to be aloof, but he finally gave in...They are so cute...

It takes awhile, but they finally realize they're the same and become friends. My bitter enemies are now best buds!

Gorgeous cats - and my goodness you are so busy busy busy - but busy is good, it focuses the mind I always find and stops me worrying about other things.
