Everyone loves pictures of food especially when it's a dessert. These yummy looking treats came from
Trader Joe's and they were waiting for me at
Two Thimbles. The owner (Lee) of this shop really knows how to treat a birthday girl. She offers a really good deal, if it's your birthday month, she'll give you 25% off for the day and if you bring friends they also get a discount of 15%, pretty sweet deal. If you live near by give Lee a call to book your birthday, it's well worth it!
Since we all love photo's of quilt shops here are a few to browse through.
Don't you just love that antique quilt with the pinks and browns. Does anyone know the name of that block? I love it!
Some fabrics to give you inspiration for Valentines day, it's coming up very fast.
Wagon of fabric, I'll just wheel that out to my car...LOL
More pretty fabrics.
Two Thimbles also has a huge selection of Jo Morton, Sturbridge Village and other reproductions. I didn't get a good picture of them.
Some goodies I received from my wonderful friends. I don't think you can see them all but there are 18 of the balls of Valdani variegated embroidery threads.....I love them!
And these are the fabrics that found a way in my bag...I don't know how they got there but I found them hiding in my bag when I got home...LOL. The larger piece with tiny red flowers is for a backing on the medallion quilt I finished a few months ago.
Have a great day!
Oh Wendy it does sound like you had a wonderful birthday! Yes, I love seeing pictures and all the eye candy was satisfying! Will you post the name of that block when somebody out in blog land tells you the name?
ReplyDeleteWhat a birthday! Great cakes, presents, threads, fabrics...! Let's hope you get that every year LOL
