New Year, Nimble Thimbles

It's a brand new year with a few new things to share.

Leni brought a picture of this miniature quilt.

If I remember correctly, it measures 11.5" x 11.5".

I believe she has it hung on point.

We have also been working on these slice quilts.

This is one part of Jacque's.

She asked for a river to run through the piece we create,

this is Ilana's creation.

The remaining parts are due on January 20!

Yikes, that means me!!

Sue brought Karen her Christmas present.

Sue was sick for our party and exchange.

Happy she could make it to the meeting today.

Sue also brought a show and share...

This is from the Bunny Hill designs Block of the Month for 2011.

It sure turned out cute!!

Ok,

I am off to dinner for a date night with my hubby,

so,

blog at you later!

They have a brand new window over the entry.

I thought for sure you would like to see it.

Happy New Years Eve

Well, it appears to me that before this post

I have blogged 52 times for 2011.  This will make 52.

What a lame blogger I have become.

I am not one for resolutions,

but I will try to outdo that number for 2012.

I played a bit with the look of the blog today,

still gonna tweek it a bit.

I will give you a sneak peek at something new for next year.

I do stay busy, you know...

This will be a featured quilt at Bolts in the Bathtub

for a new Kit of the Month we are starting.

You can look for it on the website,

on facebook and in the store early January.

I do always like to give some eye candy for you to dream about.

Well,

off to party and bring in the New Year,

hope all who are reading have a great night and a wonderful 2012!

Christmas Time!

There is always so much going on in my life.

There isn't always something that I can share.

So for now...

the tree is up, the music is playing

& the outside lights are shining,

but I need to get the rest of Christmas done!

Anyone want to help?

What a Pleasant Surprise!

We were traveling home from Pismo Beach today.

On our route we saw a sign for the Maricopa Quilt Company.

I looked it up on my handy dandy phone, and well,

we were 0.8 miles from the store, sooo....

what do you think happened?

Of course we stopped!

Maricopa is a tiny town.

I wasn't sure what to expect,

but what a pleasant surprise!

The store was full of wonderful fabrics.

Many bright and colorful bolts.

Much eye candy!

Moda, Hoffman, Exclusively Quilters and so much more!

Ric Rac in yummy colors!

A very nice collection.

It was a quick trip,

but I am so glad we stopped!

Can you see the sewing machine on the top shelf?

I came home with a couple of fabrics,

I have a plan for one of them, ha ha.

Vicki, the owner, was very nice.

So if you are ever in Maricopa,

please make sure you visit the Maricopa Quilt Company.

So glad I had something to blog today,

I thought today was just gonna be a travel day.

Well, I have a weekend to creativity planned.

I will share what I can.

Until then,

Blog at you later,
