Fun Day with Friends

I got up very early today and headed up to Amy's.  My first stop was Starbucks.  I love their Cinnamon Dolce Lattes.  And I don't get the skinny ones.  What's the fun in that???  After I got to Amy's we met up with Karen in Sumter.  We went to a couple quilt shops and I found some fabric I've been coveting for quite awhile now.  It's Moda Glace by 3 Sisters.  I have commissioned Amy to make a tote bag for me (click here to see one that she made).  I know, I could probably do it if I put my mind to it, but she has already made three, she knows the pattern by heart practically now.  I just know it's going to be gorgeous.  Although, I have told her no hurry, and I mean it!  Here is a pic of my fabric that I took using Amy's camera

I also couldn't resist getting the new Blackbird Designs Loose Feather from Amy's shop.  It's so pretty.  I just love the colors.  I debated on getting the fabric, but now I'm really glad I did!  She just got this in, so it's not on her website yet, but I'm sure she'll have it up there first thing Monday morning (no pressure Amy)! :)

I also got the new LHN design Rose Hill Plantation and earlier in the week before I knew I was going up there I got the last two BBD stockings.  So I think I have plenty to keep me busy... at least until Market at the end of the month! :)  Well, I'd better get to bed.  Write soon!

Edited to add a picture of the pincushion from the back of the leaflet...

I have some great friends!!

I got some belated birthday gifts in the mail and yesterday! I went stitching at Martha's yesterday and had a blast! The food was so good. Martha did a potato bar and everyone brought toppings. It was wonderful! Deb was there again and she brought her daughter Jessica who is such a sweetie!

Deb was so kind and brought me a birthday present...

I love it all - thank you again Deb!! :)

Here are a couple more pictures from the get together...

We were all excited to have Susan Greening Davis stitch with us! What a treat! She's such a fun lady, I'm looking forward to my class this weekend!

I also received two gifts in the mail today. One was from my very sweet friend Vonna...

A very pretty kit by Cedar Hill. Aren't the colors gorgeous?? I love it so much, thank you again Vonna!!

I also received an order from Mary Kathryn today (a birthday present to myself). I ordered some very luscious Belle Soie silks for a couple of projects.

In the package she included a little something extra for my birthday. That was so sweet of her!!

Thank you again to everyone! This has been one of my best birthdays that I've had in a long time! I appreciate all my stitching friends so much! You mean the world to me! :)

P.S. My sheep now has a head!! :)
