Whatca Workin on Wednesday

I had the good fortune to be able to attend another quilting retreat this past weekend. It was so nice to just be away. This pattern is called a watercolor wreath. A few years ago I gave my SIL one that I had made.So I needed a new one. A friend of mine gave up quilting and she handed over all her stuff. In there was this one partially finished. What better way to replace mine.

I couldn't resist finishing it. I need to do something with the outside border but I'll hang it up for now and just keep looking at it till I decide. It looks a little choppy in the picture but once it is quilted it blends really well.

We were given a favor at one meal that was a kit for a cell phone case. I had been thinking about making one so whipped this one up to see what it looked like finished. It's not really my colors but I did like how quickly it went together. Now I can make several in my colors.



Here is a finished top of Michelle's (one of my quilting buddies). And me ...of course.


These are my Kon-O-Kwee quilting buddies. Kim,Michelle and Karen. They are sisters besides. Didn't get pictures of the rest of my quilting friends but I'll get them next time.


I did get some much needed instructions on my Designer 1 embroidery machine. I hope to get practicing on it soon.

Be sure and check out Leslie's blog to see what others are working on.

The Rusty Angel

I finally received my camera from the gal at Rusty Angel in Greensburg. I left it on the counter I was in such a hurry to get my purchases out the door before she decided to take them back. LOL While I was there I did get a chance to photograph one of the rooms downstairs. I could stay there for hours just looking at all the things I want to buy. Here are the ones of the make do chair Rondell and I saw.
The next set are the interior of her store. This is just one room downstairs. There's another whole room and an upstairs. Rondell has some pictures from upstairs on her blog.



It truly was such a wonderful way to spend my day off. I love shopping and meeting new friends. The gal from the Rust Angel is now a friend too. She mailed me my camera so I didn't have to drive the hour and a half to pick it up. In some way it was too bad though. I'm sure I could have found more to purchase when I drove back.

I will post about the treasures that I did get in the next day or so.
