Shopping is an addiction!



This is the scene outside my front door this morning. Brrr But I have no guilt about whether I should try to make it to work or not!!! LOL We were warned that this storm was coming - snow, freezing ice, sleet, hail, more snow. But no one warned Whitley County that they would have an earthquake last night. That is as much a freak of nature as the lady who had 8 babies Monday. Why would she want that?


Lily and I went to Cabin Arts Quilt Shop Friday. I got lots of beautiful material. See the striped material. That is the piece I started with and wanted to match for my DIL's king size quilt. The three purple at the top are for Mo's queen size quilt I've been working on for weeks. But I now have a deadline to finish it. Mid-March I am headed to Jacksonville with stops in Lancaster, SC, Savannah, Ga, Lakeland, Fl, Key West, Fl. Can't wait to get out of this winter weather. Just knowing there is a reward at the end of this winter is motivation enough to hucker down and endure.
See the muted material on the bottom? That is material Cord picked out for me to make her a window seat this week. So I guess I am a quilter for hire now!! As you know, I never took Home Ec in school; everything is self-taught. The only things I sew are projects and costumes. So does that make me a seamstress - I spelled it that way because working for someone else is stressful.

Can I come south with you? Sounds like a wonderful trip with warmth at the end of the rainbow and wonderful shopping places on the way.

Working for others is stressfull!! That's one reason I have no desire to quilt for hire.

I'm going to a quilt show in February and I plan to splurge a little bit with some fabric.
