It's time for another adventure. How could I not enjoy my vacation to the max without attempting a hike!
I researched and found a decent hike—Lahaina Pali Trail on the west side. It's hard to get a good count on the distance, but the section I was going to do was about 4 KM.
Good Morning! My photos loaded backwards so we will start with a quilt shop then the quilt show.
Not very many quilts shops in my area carry reproductions. I was happy to find one near the quilt show. They offered 20% off my entire order when I mentioned the quilt show! Bonus!
The days just seem to be blurring into each other. Where is the time going? I guess as long as you're having fun, that's all that counts!
I had to zip out to check on something at Fabricland and ended up hitting Micheal's to buy some yarn and bought a few things on sale at Fabricland! Of course, I did!! I hardly buy anything anymore, so I was OK with my few purchases.
But look what I spotted at Micheal's.

It has been so long since I've been to a quilt store. While we were all fairly close while we were retreating we thought we better make a trip! it was nice!
I have been working on some secret Christmas sewing all week. It is a hand stitching project and I just love how it is turning out! Unfortunately, I can't show any pictures until after December 25th.
This weekend, Christine and I are going on a retreat with the Oxford Quilter's Guild. I spent a couple of hours Wednesday evening gathering projects to take with me. I like to bring a variety of things with me so I have a choice. Of course, I have a couple of projects to work on by hand, including this cute sheep ornament ...
read moreI have not one but two finishes to share this week! I quilted the baby quilt that I made for the church bazaar this week using light yellow thread and my walking foot to create a rectangular grid. The backing is donated minke in light green which goes perfectly with the colours on the front of the quilt. The binding is made from the same Kaffe fabric that was used to make the spinning four patch blocks.
So we all know the price of everything is on the rise. Interest rates, house prices, gas, food -- you name it. And let's face it -- we have an expensive hobby, and the fabric prices are on the rise, as is everything else we use. Thankfully some of us have a stash, and hopefully, we still like what's in our stash! Mine will keep me going for the rest of my quilting life! But here's something that caught my attention recently, and quite frankly -- I'm still in disbelief!
I'm sure this situation happened with other designers ...
read moreThe last day of any retreat is bittersweet. While we are excited to go home, it's time to leave, and no one wants to go home. This retreat house is several hours away, so I had plans to leave at 1 PM, and it was exactly 1 PM when I drove out of the driveway.
However, I managed to get a lot accomplished before I left. All in all, this was probably one of the most productive retreats EVER! I've no idea how that happened.
This was my last day to take a walk to the lake, so ...
