Fun Saturday!

I went up to Amy's yesterday. We went to the mall and out to eat at Logan's Roadhouse. I could eat a million of their rolls, but I restrained myself - I only ate two. :)

Amy finished the tote she was going to make for me using the Moda Glace fabrics I bought at the quilt shop in Sumter a couple weeks ago. I couldn't believe how fast she finished it! It turned out beautiful!! I'm so happy with it. She also made me a little zip bag and it turned out so sweet! I love them both!

Amy has a couple more totes she's going to be selling (in different colorways, but just as cute). Contact her for more info.

I also couldn't resist getting a Q-Snap cover made by Amy in a very similar colorway. In the Q-Snaps is Long Dog Samplers "The Token." A sampler I decided to sample a couple weeks ago. :)

I worked on block #1 of CaHRH on Friday and a little bit yesterday. I got the peacock's body done. That was easy... it's all the feathers with the tons of color changes that's driving me nuts!

CaHRH as of 2/20/10

I hope to work on it a little more today - in between laundry, dishes and all that other fun stuff! Write soon!

    And I have to share! I'm so excited, I just received in the mail ChaHRH with the NPIs & the 40ct linen. This is my first time working on 40ct, but your ChaHRH has been such an inspiration I just have to try.

  21. You are SO close on CaHRH - it is just gorgeous! Truly beautiful and I will be anxious to hear about LD Token - some else asked about your fiber choice? Love your quilted bags from Amy - lovely! I'm behind on commenting but your model stitching for Lisa is great - she always uses great linen and beautiful framing. Melody
