Later this week we have more company coming. On Wednesday my friend Joanne and her husband will arrive for a couple of days. They live in Whitehorse,Yukon ,and are visiting the Southwest. Looking forward to seeing Joanne as it has been a couple of years.

It has been a super busy couple of weeks for us. We just returned from a 5,000 mile road trip that took us through Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri and into Tennesee and South Carolina where we visited some friends that we knew in San Diego.

One of our stops was the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln Nebraska. This is a must stop if you are ever in the area. It is a beautiful museum and they have an extensive collection of all sorts of quilts.

Here are some of my favorites from the different exhibits.

A trip back to that part of the country is not complete without a stop at Hancocks of Paducah!

I was only given about an hour to shop as we had to get back on the road.

I found a couple of cheddars for a future project, a nice neutral and a backing for my JN quilt.

So here is the damage to the stash:

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 112 yards.

Purchased this week: 10 yards.

Purchased YTD: 62 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 50 yards.

Enjoy your week!

Back from my Quilting Retreat up in Pinetop AZ, where we had a great time, sewing, socializing and of course eating. Our hostess, Francis, has a beautiful retreat house and cooked all our meals for us. What a treat. Above is the patio and right behind is our sewing room, which was well lighted and equipped with everything needed to get our projects done. And yes I was able to get my Judy Niemeyer quilt done!

LOVE how it turned out. I was also able to complete a couple of smaller projects that will be gifted, so will share at a later date.

We also were able to take a couple of walks around the lake, in between some rain storms. It was great to get up into the mountains and out of the heat in the Valley.

Yes, we did get some shopping at some of the local quilt stores in the arean. I came home with these great plaid blenders to use in some future projects.

Not much sewing getting done for me, but thought I would share from our Chapter Meeting yesterday. Heidi Pridemore, above, shared a presentation on Sashiko Quilting and gave a demo on how to do. It was super informative and yes, I bought a simple Sashiko kit to do while I am on the road later this month. Some of the show and tell this month below.

Eva and a charity quilt.

Stacy and her latest Gudrun Erla pattern.

Joyce with a beautiful embroidered quilt.

Margarete with a flower garden quilt.

I am off to a quilt retreat starting tomorrow, so hope to have a finish to share soon!

Happy last day of August-where has the Summer gone!

Rusty Barn did not disappoint and I came home with way to much new stuff. Above is a fat quarter bundle called Sew Obsessed-loved all of these!

Another sewing themed charm pack called Threads.

A cute halloween print and the white has little bees on it.

A small kit to make this Lucky Table runner.

More Fabrics and a panel from Sew Obsessed. I will be making a version of this Jacket but it will be with a hoody. Loved the version I saw at the show below. I have never made a jacket before, so this will be a new challenge.

We woke up this morning to these beautiful blooming sages. It happens fast here in the desert, especially if we get a little rain. More rain is predicted for this week.⛈

This week I am busy at quilting Sandi's Millie's Dresses quilt. This one is all custome and the patterns are so fun. Each dress has a different quilting pattern and gives a lot of texture to t he quilt. I will be hard at work on this one all week. Hope to have finished and off to Sandi by the end of the week.

No finishes this week and no adds to the Stash, but Rust Barn Quilt and Craft show starts on Thursday so there will most likely be some adding this week!

Happy Sewing!

This weeks clue is all cut out and ready to sew. I am using fabrics from my stash and will donate this one to charity. I am going to try to keep up with the clues each week. Also under the sewing machine is Sand Castles, and I am hoping to have that all together this week. 

Happy Sewing!
