I've taken up reading again...

I broke down and got one of those darn e-readers. lol. My sisters have had one for years and I just kept dragging my feet in getting one. But then I started listening to books on CD form at work and the thoughts of an e reader started bouncing around in my head. So then the search was on Nook vs Kindle. Well I went with the Kindle Fire HD. Of course since I have ther reader I have to read right. Well I found this author J.S. Scott and really liked her writing. I fell in love with the characters in The Billionaire's Obsession, Simon's story. So now another  book is coming out in a couple days and I can't wait. It's erotic romance done in a tasteful manner.  I have tried to read other erotic romance but it was sleazy so J.S.'s approach is refreshing.

Now for some eye candy.This is a table topper I made for a challenge that was to use nothing but triangles. It was fun making the pattern but yet challenging enough to keep my ADD mind interested.

Just quilting

Well I am so behind in posting quilts I don't know which ones I have shown and which ones I haven't. So here I go posting some. I hope these are some you haven't seen.

This is Cynthia's a nice simple pattern but it makes such a beautiful quilt. She made this for a friend that is going thru chemo.Unfortunate situation but a wonderful gift.

 This next quilt belongs to Delores. I see a cross in those Log Cabin Blocks. I didn't see it as I quilted it but once hanging it sure jumps out at me. Delores has been teaching her grand daughter how to quilt and this is their collaborative effort. They sure made a nice quilt.

This beauty is Jeans. She stated she wanted something custom in the snowballs but not necessarily anything to fancy. Hmm. So I went with the simple and this is how it turned out. I did double ovals with a flower in the center and just X'd the four patches. I like the simple little design in centers. Different and that was what I was going for,









 

 This belongs to Kathryn and is from a pattern called Farm Scraps (I believe). I really really really like this pattern and wish I had it.

This is Kathy's

Shop Hopping in Southwest Missouri

This past weekend I made a quick trip back home to SW MO. My dad had surgery so as a break for my mom I took (oh really my sister drove) my mom on a mini shop hop. My goal is to go to at least 2 new (to me) quilt shops a year. I have been to one already but I went to 2 this weekend so already this year I have now been to 3 new (to me) quilt shops. This first shop The Quilted Garden is in Aurora, MO and wow what a great little shop. Selection, selection and such nice ladies in the shop. 

Here's the goodies I ended up with. And no I have no plans for any of it. Just  had to have it.

This next shop sits out in the country between Cassville and Exeter MO. No shop sign as of yet but it is called P-Dubs. Now can you see that wall of fat quarters and it just went on and on and around the corner. and all color coordinated too. I was so amazed at this wall I had a hard time picking anything out. I had 4 or 5 different scenarios picked out this saw this one print and my heart stopped and I had to have it all. Nope have no clue what I am going to do with it but.......

Pam owns this shop and is probably the friendliest person I have met. Sure wish this shop was close to me. This wall of fat quarters is only part of what it really is. I would say only a fourth of it is showing. 

Don't you just love the pink splotchy print. Well I do!
