A Great Day

Just got a horrible fright....my blog was hacked!  Took a while and a lot of anxiety but I am back up and running.  Darn old hackers!  Get a hobby!!  oh wait...that is their hobby. 

Had a wonderful time today.  The Annapolis Valley was absolutely stunning today.   My sisters and I hit Avonport Discount and left with three bags full.  Quilty Sis collects scissors and found the sweetest pair of Ginghers embroidery scissors to add to her collection.  Knitty Sis bought several sets of large wooden decorative buttons to use on her knitted creations.  And me, well, you will see below.

two more Kaffe's for my collection (I think I already have these but they were 4.00/mtr

A few more from Kate Spain's Flurry to top off my collection of Christmas fabrics

I can't resist a swirly pattern. 

Made in Japan

a few more 30's

I can't resist a dotty fabric, especially in pink

Lucy's Crab Shack. a great buy, 9 fat quarters for 18.00 








This is a 3 metre piece of 108"wide backing fabric that I found in the sale bin.

After the fabric shop in Avonport, we headed in to Wolfville and visited a yarn shop called Suzie Q's Boutique and Yarn Emporium.  A lovely small shop with a delightful owner. Both Sisters bought yarn for more scarves and a cowl.  I also bought three balls of yarn,  one for a cowl, the turquoise in the centre and the other  two for ruffly scarves.



It sure was fun to spend time with my sweet sisters.  My daughter tagged along too. She doesnt quilt but someday, maybe someday, she just might give it a try.  fingers crossed.

  1. That's terrible that you were hacked. Can you tell us - is there something that we should watch for to prevent it from happening?

    I'm glad you could finish off your "not so good" week with some fun with your sisters. I'm sure that brought your spirits up!
